Patent number: 10412888Abstract: A method for operating a harvester may include initially operating the harvester in a discharge harvesting mode such that harvested crops are conveyed to a distal end of an elevator of the harvester and subsequently discharged from the harvester through a discharge opening defined by a storage hopper located at the distal end of the elevator. The method also includes reducing an operating speed of the elevator and blocking the discharge opening defined by the storage hopper upon receipt of an operator input associated with operating the harvester in a storage harvesting mode. Additionally, the method includes actively adjusting the operating speed of the elevator based on a crop flow parameter of the harvester as the harvested crops expelled from the distal end of the elevator are being stored within a storage volume of the storage hopper.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Michael J.

Patent number: 9781880Abstract: A multiple row sugar cane harvester having automatic and independent control of multiple base cutters utilized to severe sugar cane stalks in adjacent rows. Position sensors sense the height of the base cutters relative to the chassis of the sugar cane harvester and feed the signals to a controller for adjusting the height to a preselected level. The base cutters are individually driven by hydraulic motors through individual hydraulic circuits and the operating pressure is sensed and fed to the controller for determining whether a choke condition exists. A load sensor is incorporated between the linkage and the sugar cane harvester chassis for determining whether the base cutters have ground contact to elevate the base cutters.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2014Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Daenio Cleodolphi, Jan Verstraete, Adriano Fagundes, Ramon Sarchi, Fabio Tanaka
