Abstract: A method for operating a combine which, for optimizing the harvesting output, is continuously externally controlled by an operator via a control processor (ST) containing set-point and/or limit operating data and is internally controlled by means of continuous measuring and evaluation of actual operating data (VI, SBI, SHI), in particular traveling data, wherein the absolute and/or relative location coordinates (X, Y) of the combine are continuously detected and, assigned to them, the respective area-specific yield measuring data (EM) are stored, in particular in the form of a yield data register (EK) to be used as a historical data register (HK), wherein the control processor (ST) of the combine has access to a historical data register (HK) and addresses them, in each case prior to the actual coordinates, with the respective location coordinates (X, Y) of the combine, linked with its respective travel data (VI, SBI, SHI) and historical data (DH) stored there, reads them and from them determines fresh set-poi

Abstract: A process and device for controlling a hydrostatic positioning mechanism (HG) of a hydrostatic/mechanical, continuous output-distributing power shift gear in which after an engagement of a clutch (K2, K3) of a new gear in a load-free synchronous condition, the positive displacement volume is respectively continuously triggered for a change until the gear branch, which is still running, is released triggering by the clutch (K2, K3) to be disengaged respectively in the disengaging direction and by monitoring a setting signal of a clutch setting sensor (KS2, KS3) of the clutch (K2, K3) to be disengaged until a setting change is signaled.

Abstract: A self-propelling agricultural machine has a chassis, and a traveling mechanism composed of two forward semi-caterpillars and one rearward rear steerable semi-caterpillar.

Abstract: The tracked undercarriage for harvesters has a wheel-track drive unit (3) disposed on both sides of the machine, and each drive unit (3) has two rockers (5, 6), height-adjustably seated on a common, horizontal axle (4) extending transversely in respect to the direction of travel, two dual wheels (7, 8), rotatably seated on the free ends of the two rockers (5, 6) and an endlessly revolving track (9) guided around both dual wheels (7, 8), one tensioning element (28) for the track (9) acting on at least one dual wheel bearing (20) and a drive for at least one dual wheel (8). A separating line (TL) is drawn outside of the axle (4) in one rocker (6), wherein a releasable connection (16, 17, 18) with the other rocker (5) extended past the axle (4) is located in this separation line (TL), and this removable rocker (6) is embodied as a transmission housing (11) with a cardan shaft inlet (12) and toothed-wheel gear (13, 14, 15) for driving the dual wheel (8) seated on the removable rocker (6).

Abstract: The invention relates to the type of device for measuring a mass flow in a harvester, where the flow is deflected at the outlet of an elevator (E) at a conveyor shaft wall (G) to form a stratified homogeneous flow and the flow is continuously measured as a function of the fill level by a capacitor (MC). The capacitor has a first capacitor plate (MC1) at a mass flow front side and a second capacitor plate (MC2) at a distance from the mass flow. The first capacitor plate is bordered and enclosed by a first protective electrode (R1) held at the same potential as the first capacitor plate by an impedance transformer. The second capacitor plate includes a portion of the conveyor shaft wall located opposite the first capacitor plate (MC1) and by lateral areas of the conveyor shaft wall.

Abstract: A straw or chaff chopper attachment for a combine has at least one delivery funnel which can be fixed in place on the outlet hood of the combine, a cup-shaped rotor housing disposed under the delivery funnel, and an ejection chute connected with the rotor housing. The cup-shaped rotor housing is disposed underneath the delivery funnel and is capable of being pivoted back and forth around a vertical pivot axis (6) on a shaft (7). A chopping and ejection unit (8) disposed in the cup-shaped rotor housing (4), which rotates around the shaft (7), which extends coaxially with the vertical pivot axis (6) and chops the material and ejects it at the same time. A pair of the delivery funnels may be coupled for axial rotation about respective vertical pivot axes such that their respective ejection chutes move together.

Abstract: The device for separating and screening bulk materials, in particular crop materials, is formed by a zig-zag separator (9) with separation conduits (14) which are diverted once or several times in the vertical direction and through which a separator air stream (SL) flows, and its top and bottom which is covered by the bulk material (6, 7)--crop material--forms a screening surface (9a). The zig-zag separator (9) forms a cross flow orientation of the rising separator air flow (SL) at the bends (14a) of its separator conduits (14) and a rotating material vortex (GW) in the separator conduits (14), by means of which the light chaff/stalk parts (7) are moved upward and the grain (6) is released downward.

Abstract: A grain flow measuring device having a sensor plate, on which a piezo-crystal oscillation sensor is disposed behind an impact surface, behind which an oscillation-damping foam material body is maintained by means of doubly folded-over edges of the sensor plate located at its edges. A retainer plate is seated and an amplifier and evaluation circuit with a readable counter is disposed in the foam material body. Grain flow measuring devices of this type are disposed in a harvester below a rocker tray near its output side, because of which grain losses and false measurements are avoided. Damping of the impact surface by means of the foam material body results is such oscillation damping that the determination of the grain mass results from the detected number of oscillations.
