Abstract: An anti-siphon arrangement for a hydraulic system with a reservoir includes first and second flow paths providing hydraulic communication between the reservoir and a lower area. Each flow path includes an anti-siphon portion extending at least partly above a fluid level of the reservoir. First and second valves are configured, when configured in open states, to allow gas to flow from a gas source to the anti-siphon portions of the first and second flow paths, respectively.

Abstract: An agricultural harvester (100) comprises a self-propelled vehicle (102); a feederhouse (104) disposed on the front of the self-propelled vehicle (102); a driveshaft (114), the driveshaft (114) having a proximal end supported for rotation on the feederhouse (104) about an axis of rotation, the driveshaft (114) having a distal end that is extendable from the proximal end; and a first coupler (116) fixed to the distal end, said first coupler (116) being configured for engagement with a second coupler (118), said second coupler (118) being disposed on an agricultural harvesting head (106) to drive a reciprocating knife of the agricultural harvesting head (106).

Abstract: A hydraulic coupler (100) includes a first coupling (102) and the second coupling (106) and further includes a fluid cavity (144) defined in a second support (108) for the second coupling (106) configured to eject fluid and clean at least one of the first coupling (102) and the second coupling (106) as the first coupling (102) and the second coupling (106) are mutually engaged.

Abstract: A filter-deaerator (100) for hydraulic fluid reservoir (102) comprises a chamber (104) that is generally cylindrical and has with a hydraulic fluid inlet (106) at an upper portion (124) thereof that injects hydraulic fluid into the chamber (104) in a direction tangent to an inner wall (108) of the chamber (104). The lower portion (126) of the chamber (104) is configured to be fixed to a hydraulic fluid filter.

Abstract: An agricultural harvester includes a feeder house drivably coupled to a power source. The feeder house has a housing frame. A faceplate is pivotally coupled to the housing frame to facilitate a pivoting of the faceplate relative to the housing frame. A hydraulic cylinder has a first end connected to the housing frame and a second end coupled to the faceplate to facilitate movement of the faceplate relative to the housing frame. The hydraulic cylinder has a plurality of hydraulic ports for facilitating movement of the operating piston of the hydraulic cylinder, with at least a first hydraulic port of the plurality of hydraulic ports being connected in fluid communication with a hydraulic power system. A first accumulator containing a compressible gas charge is connected in fluid communication with the first hydraulic port of the hydraulic cylinder.

Abstract: An agricultural combine includes a supporting structure. A work assembly is coupled to the supporting structure. The work assembly has a plurality of components to assist in the performing of crop processing operations. The work assembly is configured to define an air stream path. The work assembly has at least one rotary component that generates an air stream that flows through the air stream path to aid in crop processing in the work assembly. A fluid system is configured to circulate a fluid. The fluid system includes a fluid cooler that is positioned at a location in the air stream path to provide cooling of the fluid.
