Self-propelled harvesting machine

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-propelled harvesting machine with an internal combustion engine, a propulsion system that can be operated to cause the harvesting machine to move across a field with a propulsion speed, a crop material pick-up device for picking up the crop material from a field, a CPM processing device for processing the harvested crop material, and a control unit for specifying the speed of the engine.

Drive for a crop picking head

TL;DR: In this paper, the agricultural harvesting machine having a crop picking head includes a pickup conveyer which can be driven so as to pick up the harvested crop at a first adjustable speed, a discharge conveyer, which can also be driven, and a feed-in conveyer disposed in a feedin channel of the harvesting machine that can be operated at a third adjustable speed; the third speed and the first speed are independent of one another and fall in a range between the first and third speeds.

Harvester head drive

TL;DR: In this article, a pickup conveyer is used to receive harvested crop from a pickup and to transport and discharge the crop at an adjustable speed, defined by the latter and third speeds.

Device for measuring and/or checking the distance between a shear bar and a chopping knife

TL;DR: In this article, a crop chopping arrangement for a forage harvester includes a shearbar mounted adjacent a path swept by chopping knives of a chopper drum and being selectively adjustable toward and away from said path so as to adjust the distance between the shears and knives as they pass by the shearbars.
Patent

Arrangement for the adjustment of a shearbar with respect to a chopper assembly and a method of adjustment thereof

TL;DR: In this paper, the adjustment of the position of a shearbar with respect to the knives of a chopper assembly is discussed. But the adjustment is performed by adjusting a first adjusting drive to position the first end of the Shearbar at a predetermined first spacing from the knives, and then a second adjusting drive is used to adjust the second end to position it with respect the knives until a spacing measurement arrangement indicates that the spacing between the shears and the knives is less than a threshold value.
