20150096450 | Combination cotton transport cart and module builder - An easily transportable combination cotton transport cart and module builder includes a side mounted dump basket for receiving a load of cotton bolls from a cotton picker or stripper. The cart is sized to form a module of half standard size, which enables the unit to be readily transportable on fields and roads. The basket expands outwardly, is lightweight and is sized to receive a full load dump from a cotton picker or stripper, then the basket swings up and over a compression chamber. A tamper mechanism extends across the top of the compression chamber and supports a tamper bar which compresses the cotton dumped in the chamber. The compression cycle takes a longer time to accomplish than the time to dump the picked cotton into the side basket, so while the cotton is being compressed and the half module is being formed, the cotton picker or stripper has already been emptied and is back continuing harvest. The compression chamber takes two to three loads from a cotton picker or stripper before it reaches capacity. When full, the cart is typically driven to a field location and the finished half standard sized module conveyed out a rear door and deposited for further pick up and transport to a gin. | 04-09-2015 |
