Abstract: A device to block and divert lateral water spray generated from a vehicle, the vehicle including a plurality of tires and a body having a pair of lateral sides on opposite sides of a center, an underside between said lateral sides, and a rear. The device includes a first gutter portion attached to one said lateral side to trap and direct said water spray toward said rear. A second gutter portion is in fluid communication with the first gutter portion in order to divert the water spray from the lateral side toward the center and away from the underside down toward the ground.

Abstract: The crop discharge spout of an agricultural machine is continuously adjusted so that the crop material discharge therefrom is always directed into an associated, but not necessarily connected, collector vehicle. An electro optical device affixed to the crop discharge spout illuminates a scanning area with an optical signal. A passive retroreflective target affixed to the collector vehicle and disposed within the scanning area reflects the optical signal back to the electro optical device. The electro optical device receives the reflected optical signal and causes logic means to generate control signals, such that appropriate utilization means aligns the crop discharge spout with the associated but not necessarily attached collector vehicle.
