| 20100132324 | Articulated Combine With Unloading and Rear Bogey Steering Architecture - Disclosed is an articulated harvester composed of a forward bogey having an operator's cab, an engine, a grain harvesting assembly, a grain transfer assembly, but being devoid of an on-board grain bin. A rearward bogey is attached by a joint to the forward bogey and has a powered wheel assembly, an on-board grain bin for receiving grain from the forward bogey grain transfer assembly, and a grain off-loading assembly. The disclosed improvement includes the rearward bogey having a powered wheel assembly of a powered stiff axle wheel assembly pivotable for steering the articulated harvester when the joint has articulated by a defined number of degrees. The joint may be connected to the rearward bogey powered stiff axle wheel assembly by a beam that has a second joint disposed ahead of the stiff axle and actuatable to crab the articulated harvester for grain unloading. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20100326037 | Crop Residue Baler Integrated with Harvester, Method for Baling Crop Residue, and Resulting Trapezoidal Crop Residue Bale - A combine has a transverse crop residue baler disposed at the rear of the combine that moves integrally with the combine. The transverse crop residue baler can be towed by the combine and connected to the combine by two widely spaced-apart joints that permit only movement in the pitch axis. The transverse crop residue baler also can be disposed at the rear of and carried by the forward unit of an articulated combine. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100330337 | Crop Residue Baler Integrated With Harvester, Method for Baling Crop Residue, and Resulting Trapezoidal Crop Residue Bale - One embodiment is a combine having an operator's cab, an engine, a grain harvesting assembly, a grain transfer assembly, a grain bin for receiving grain from the forward section grain transfer assembly, and a transverse crop residue baler disposed at the rear of said combine and moving integrally with said combine. The transverse crop residue baler also can be towed by the combine and is connected to the combine by two widely spaced-apart joints that permit only movement in the pitch axis. The combine can be devoid of an on-board grain bin and comprise a forward unit; the transverse crop residue baler disposed at the rear of and carried by the forward unit; and the combine includes a rearward unit jointedly attached to the forward unit and having, steerable and powered wheel assembly, an on-board grain bin, and a grain off-loading assembly. | 12-30-2010 |
