  • Patent number: 10993370
    Abstract: An agricultural working device, such as a mulcher, is improved with a working rotor which is driven by a drive shaft and a cutting rail with a cutting edge which can be directed towards the working rotor. Sensors for acquiring parameters of working rotor and/or cutting rail are provided. An electronic control apparatus is provided with at least one encoder to set the cutting rail. A method for setting the position of a cutting rail of a working device, such as a mulcher, relative to a working rotor, is configured in such a way that the rotational speed of a drive shaft and the rotational speed of the working rotor are measured and compared with one another. When a ratio of the rotational speeds differs by a predefined threshold, a change in the position of the cutting rail is brought about.

  • Patent number: 10980175
    Abstract: An agricultural working apparatus, for the separation of ground vegetation, in particular a mulching, mowing or a milling apparatus, includes at least one cutting device, having a cutting rail, and at least one adjusting device for the adjustment of the cutting rail. The cutting device has at least one connecting piece, which is arranged laterally in the transverse direction and by means of which the cutting rail is connected to the adjusting device.

  • Publication number: 20110232246
    Abstract: A device for erecting stalk crop has a holding frame and an erecting tool connected to the holding frame. The erecting tool has a rotatably supported rotation body that has a circular shape and is supported with an outer circumference of the rotational body on a soil surface. The erecting tool has tines that are distributed about the outer circumference of the rotation body and project away from the outer circumference of the rotation body. The tines each have a section projecting past the outer circumference of the rotation body. A longitudinal axis of the sections of the tines is angled at a tine angle relative to the rotational plane of the rotation body.
