  • Patent number: 9468147
    Abstract: A combination of a towing vehicle, such as a tractor, and an agricultural harvesting machine drawn thereby, such as a baler or a self-loading forage wagon, operates to detect whether the harvesting machine is in a harvesting situation (S1) or in a field-end situation (S2) by use of a control device. The control device is operated to specify at least one parameter setting for at least one functional device, by which the combination is operated in a harvesting configuration (K1) or in a field-end configuration (K2), depending on the situation (S1, S2) that is detected.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 21, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 18, 2016

  • Patent number: 9357709
    Abstract: A combination of a towing vehicle and an agricultural harvesting machine drawn by the towing machine is provided. The harvesting machine includes at least one working assembly for conveying crop (G), for processing crop (G) or both. The harvesting machine also includes a working connection to the towing vehicle in order to be supplied with drive power by the towing vehicle in order to operate the at least one working assembly and a control device can be operated in a harvesting mode in order to specify a ground speed (v) for the combination depending on ascertained operating parameters of the harvesting machine and the towing vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9149004
    Abstract: A method for operating a baler with a pressing chamber which serves for the pressing of a straw-like crop includes compacting the crop using an adjustable pressing pressure and binding the crop through a holding material. The pressing pressure is limited to a maximum value and controlled through a control circuit. A control circuit reference variable is a load variable of the holding material. The load variable is adjustable and is smaller than or equal to the maximum value.
