Abstract: A trailer for transporting cylindrical bales comprises a pair of rails and a conveyor chain located between and below the rails such that a bale is maintained in position on the conveyor chain by the rails. The load engaging face of the conveyor chain comprises a plurality of resilient pads having a roughened surface to increase friction between the pads and the bale without protruding into the bale. The load engaging face can slide with respect to the bale. First and second loading arms are operative to raise first and second bales onto corresponding conveyors. A third loading arm raises the first bale from the first conveyor to allow the first loading arm to raise a third bale from the ground and position it on the first conveyor, and then lowers the first bale to rest on the second and third bales.

Abstract: A bale trailer for transporting round bales comprises an elongate frame having an end which is arranged to be coupled to a towing vehicle. The frame has a wheel assembly, a pair of elongate cradles, a conveying means for sliding a bale along each cradle and a bale loading arrangement on the trailer arranged to load bales onto the cradles. The cradles are parallel on the frame and are positioned side by side thereon arranged to receive at least one round bale on each cradle. The conveying means extends longitudinally on the frame. The bale loading arrangement has a first loading arm arranged to engage a bale for loading the bale onto a respective one of the cradles, a second loading arm arranged to engage a bale for loading the bale onto a respective second one of the cradles beside the bale loaded onto the opposite cradle by the first arm and a raising arm arranged to raise one of the bales on one of the cradles.

Abstract: A harrow is provided having an elongate tool bar mounted on wheels for movement in a forward direction perpendicular to the tool bar. A plurality of harrow elements are mounted on the tool bar to extend generally rearward therefrom. A pair of support arms are pivotally mounted on the tool bar at a first end and mount each harrow element on a second end towards a rearward end of the harrow element. A hanger is connected between the support arms and the harrow element towards a forward end of the harrow element for suspending the harrow element therefrom. A plurality of tines are mounted on the harrow element such that the angle of the tines relative to the ground may be adjusted. A coupling connects between the hanger and the tines such that the height of the front end of the harrow frame is adjusted in response to tine angle adjustment.

Abstract: A harrow comprises an elongate tool bar formed in three sections including a central section and two wing sections all of which can rotate about a longitudinal axis, The wing sections are coupled by pivot couplings which allow the wing sections to fold rearwardly in the transport position. The tool bar carries a number of harrow elements each of which is formed by a rigid frame defined by longitudinal rails and welded cross bars with the frame carrying a plurality of tine support bars. A push rod simultaneously rotates all of the tine support bars about their respective axis to vary the angle of the tine in contact with the ground. The angle of the tines of all of the harrow elements are adjusted simultaneously by a number of rocker shafts mounted on the tool bar and operated by rephasing cylinders. Each push bar of each harrow element is attached to the respective rocker shaft for actuation.
