  • Patent number: 8960512
    Abstract: A mounting device for mounting a component onto a farm implement having a frame, includes a clamp member and a mounting component. The clamp member includes a top section, a bottom section and a connecting member coupled to the top section at a first end portion and the bottom section at a second end portion. The top section is configured to engage two adjacent surfaces of a support element, and the bottom section is configured to engage two adjacent surfaces of a support element. A length of the connecting member between the top section of the clamp member and the bottom section of the clamp member is adjustable. The top section includes at least one receiving member, and the bottom section includes at least one receiving member. The mounting component includes a plurality of receiving members. Each mounting member is configured to engage the mounting hole of the clamp end portion and a mounting hole of the mounting component.

  • Publication number: 20140197010
    Abstract: An automatic conveyor shutoff system for a farm implement, such as a grain cart or seed tender, includes a conveying device and a storage bin. The conveying device is configured to convey material into or from the storage bin. A weighing device measures the weight of the storage bin and outputs a signal representing the weight to a controller. The controller is configured to disable the conveying device when the weight reaches a preset limit.

  • Publication number: 20140061249
    Abstract: A chemical applicator for use in a farm implement including a hopper, an auger, at least one agitator disc mounted to the hopper and a proportional rate device. The chemical applicator is configured to store material in the hopper and discharge the material from the auger on to seed or grain discharged from the farm implement. The at least one agitator disc is positioned such that it is driven by the auger. Therefore, the agitator disc does not need a separate motor to drive it. The proportional rate device controls the rate of the auger relative to the rate at which seed or grain is discharged from the farm implement.
