Abstract: An apparatus for driver-specific setting of vehicle devices (EG) has setting parameters stored as a setting-parameter data set (PS1-PSx) in a local processor (LP). Action signals (AS) are transmitted, via a control and/or regulating apparatus (R), to the devices (EG), from which sensor signals (SS) may be fed back into the control and/or regulating apparatus (R). The local processor (LP) reports the respective identifier (ID, ID1-IDx) and a vehicle identification (FK1-FKx) of the respectively used vehicle via a data radio link (FG, FZ) to a central processor (ZP), which enters them into a key-use register (BR) and stores the respectively associated setting-parameter set (PS1-PSx) and possibly other useful data as operating information (BM). This keeps them ready for an evaluation.

Abstract: An automatic-steering apparatus for an agricultural machine (1), has at least one locating apparatus (OV), particularly an apparatus that locates the edge of the crop or row, whose locating signal (OS) is compared, as an analog voltage value (nominal value), to a wheel-angle signal (RWS), as a further analog voltage value (actual value), that has been received by a wheel-position sensor (RSS) on a steerable wheel (HR) of the agricultural machine (1), in an analog regulating apparatus (ST). The regulating apparatus (ST) emits, as a function of the difference between the nominal and actual values, at least one steering-hydraulics control signal (SHL, SHR; LIS) to an electrically-controlled steering hydraulics (LH) having a steering cylinder (LZ) that is connected to steerable wheels (HR) of the agricultural machine (1) so as to steer them.

Abstract: A piston operated collecting machine for an agricultural harvested product comprises a pressing piston, a collector for collecting a harvested product, a feeding element for supplying the harvested product to the collector, a transmission having an input shaft connectable with a drive shaft of a pulling vehicle and imparting a movement to the pressing piston, two driven shafts operating so that one of the driven shaft drives the collector while another of the driven shafts drives the feeding element, and two overloading couplings arranged so that one of the driven shafts is connected with the transmission through one of the overloading couplings, while another of the driven shafts is connected with the transmission through another of the overloading couplings.

Abstract: The locating device for an agricultural machine controlled by an automatic steering system includes a first locating device component (OV1) directed at a first portion of a field on which agricultural material is not present, but adjacent an edge (GK) of the agricultural material and producing a first locating signal (OS1), a second locating device component (OV2) directed at a second portion of the field containing the material and adjacent, but not including, the edge of it and producing a second locating signal (OS2), a third locating device component (OV3) directed at a third portion of the field including the edge of the material and producing a third locating signal (OS3), a device for transmitting the first, second and third locating signals (OS1, OS2, OS3) to a regulating device (ST) for generating at least one hydraulic steering signal (SHL,SHR) from a standardized locating signal (NOS) to control the steerable wheels (HR) according to a predetermined locating criterion and a device for generating th

Abstract: A reflex locating device on an agricultural machine or the like, in particular a harvested material edge locating device, has a transmitter and a receiver with a locating beam region oriented on the agricultural machine so that it is slightly inclined toward the ground and, when the grain edge side position is correct, detects a part of the standing grain in front of the harvesting mechanism and detects with a remaining part the stubble field. The locating device for this purpose is arranged at a distance above the grain, and the locating beam region is oriented substantially perpendicular to the harvesting mechanism and detects inclinedly from above partially the grain field and partially the stubble field.

Abstract: A cutting table of a self-propelling harvester thresher is composed of two cutting table parts which are steplessly adjustable relative to one another so as to overlap each other in any possible position. In order to use the cutting table for harvesting of rape, both cutting table parts after releasing of a lock are extensible so that a distance is provided between the cutting table parts. The distance is overlapped by an additional bottom plate and two additional side wall parts, so as to produce a cutting table with such a distance from a cutter bar to a drawing roller which allows cutting and drawing in of rape.

Abstract: A capacitive measuring device with a measuring electrode (3) arranged some distance from a counter-electrode (8), a dielectric material for analysis is arranged between the electrodes (3, 8), and a measuring current (IC) is supplied to the measuring electrode (3) and the capacitance-dependent capacitor voltage (UC) is measured and evaluated.

Abstract: A power transmission has a 5-stage planetary transmission unit having first, second, third, fourth and fifth transmission shafts, a reverse mechanism and a coupling through which the first transmission shaft is connectable with a drive, a hydrostatic adjusting mechanism through which the second transmission shaft is connectable to the drive, and stage gears and associated stage couplings arranged so that the third, the fourth, and the fifth transmission shafts are each connected with a power take off through a respective one of the stage gears and the stage couplings. The hydrostatic adjusting mechanism is connectable through the reverse transmission and the coupling to the drive.
