  • Patent number: 10427878
    Abstract: A patch material for repairing a damaged portion of a pressing belt used on an agricultural round baler includes an operative outer polymeric layer having a first thickness, a mounting layer disposed parallel to the operative outer polymeric layer and having a second thickness being less than the first thickness, and at least one fabric layer disposed between the operative outer polymeric layer and the mounting layer. A plurality of linear outlines is defined on the operative outer polymeric layer at an operative top surface thereof. The linear outlines are configured to define a pattern with a plurality of predefined shapes. The plurality of the predefined shapes is configured to border a conical portion of a connecting opening defined on the operative top surface of the operative outer polymeric layer. The connecting opening extends the operative outer polymeric layer, the fabric layer, and the mounting layer.

  • Patent number: 8577559
    Abstract: A drive arrangement for the drive of an agricultural implement is provided that includes a drive engine that can be brought into a drive connection over a separable power take-off shaft clutch with a power take-off shaft output. A drive line of the operating implement is connected with the power take-off shaft output, with an overload clutch, and a control arrangement. The control arrangement is connected to a sensor arranged for the detection of the torque at the power take-off shaft output and, in normal operation, permits an actuator to disengage the power take-off shaft clutch as soon as the torque detected by the sensor reaches or exceeds a first threshold value, that corresponds to a torque that is smaller than the cut-off torque of the overload clutch.

  • Patent number: 7398728
    Abstract: A baling press having a rectangular pressing space in which a pressing piston is movably disposed. The pressing space includes a crop material inlet in which the crop material to be pressed enters the pressing space from the feed channel. The material is pre-pressed in the pressing space by a compressing fork before it is forcefully inserted into the pressing space by a loading fork. The baling press further includes a sensor system which determines at least one value which represents the vertical distribution of the material and/or the vertical distribution of the density of said material, in the pressing space.
