Abstract: A work vehicle and a method for operating a work vehicle are disclosed. The work vehicle comprises a work vehicle chassis, a lifting assembly, a bale handling implement, a sensor arrangement being positioned and configured to optically detect the bale on the ground and a position and/or a space orientation of the bale and a driver assistance system comprising a controller. The sensor arrangement is configured to optically identify a target location on the bale used for picking up the bale with the bale handling implement, the lifting assembly being controlled by the controller based on the target location while the work vehicle is approaching the bale such that the bale handling implement is positioned at the target location on the bale when picking up the bale from the ground.

Abstract: A self-propelled forage harvester is disclosed. The self-propelled harvester includes a mounting device having a feeder for harvested material and an adapter unit that is detachably arranged on the mounting device. The adapter unit is configured to mount and adapt an attachment designed for a combine harvester, with the adapter unit comprising a control and regulating module that is configured to perform control and regulating functions specific to the combine harvester for setting operating parameters of the mounted attachment.

Abstract: A self-propelled harvester is disclosed. The self-propelled harvester includes a mounting device, which has a feed means for harvested material, for mounting an attachment on the harvester. An adapter unit may be detachably arranged between the mounting device and the attachment, such that the adapter unit is designed to couple the attachment to the mounting device. Further, the adapter unit may be configured to adjust an inclination of the attachment with respect to the mounting device in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction.

Abstract: An outer stalk divider for an attachment for harvesting row crop, in particular for a corn picker or corn header, includes a base body that extends in a traveling direction and a surface that extends in the traveling direction on an upper side, a hood, which is situated at the front on the base body as viewed in the traveling direction, and tapers in the traveling direction, and a cover element which, in the traveling direction, is situated behind the hood and on the upper side. The cover element extends at least partially along the surface of the base body, and is at least partially arched in design on an outer surface facing away from the surface. The cover element may be adjustable relative to the base body.

Abstract: An agricultural system includes a baler for picking up and compressing crop from a crop swath in a field and a tow tractor. The baler is towed by the tow tractor via a draft hitch arrangement, which draft hitch arrangement allows a baler pickup track to be laterally offset from the tractor driving track with respect to the tractor driving direction. During baling, the baler pickup track is aligned to the crop swath for picking up crop and the tractor driving track is laterally spaced from the crop swath with respect to the tractor driving direction. A steering system autonomously aligns the baler pickup track onto the crop swath.

Abstract: A draper belt rib comprising an outer portion being comprised of a material having a higher wear resistance than a base portion of the rib. The head has at least one surface disposed for exposure to wear surfaces. The head has a longitudinally extending projection that is formed with the wear surface of the outer portion and has a plurality of through holes in it longitudinally spaced along its length. The base portion is a material readily adherable to a flexible conveyer belt material. The base portion extends along either side of the longitudinally extending projection of the outer portion being formed such that a first lateral side of the base portion connects with an opposing lateral side of the base portion material through the through holes in the longitudinally extending projection of the outer portion. The connection comprises a retention bridge retaining the outer portion against the base portion.
