    Abstract: A harvesting header is operable in a first mode of operation by engagement of a skid at the cutter bar for cutting along the ground. A gauging system operable in a second mode includes four ground engaging members supporting the header such that the cutter bar skid plate is at a controlled distance from the ground. The ground engaging members include a long skid and removable gauge wheels are carried on an elongate beam pivoted adjacent the cutter bar and extending to the rear of the frame and adjustable by an upstanding telescopic mast up to a position to allow the cutter bar to run on the ground. A resilient suspension can be provided at the rear of the beam at the junction to the post. The location under the table allows a very high adjustment of the cutter bar in the second mode.

    Abstract: A reel includes a plurality of bats and an end shield plate mounted on the end of the reel at the crop divider which has a peripheral edge radially inward of an outer tip of the fingers with an apex at each of the bats and portions which are recessed from a straight line joining the apexes. Each of the endmost fingers of the bats has a base which is axially inside the end plate and is bent longitudinally of the reel to define an outer tip which is axially spaced from the base to a position beyond the radial plane of the end plate. A plurality of molded paddle blades are mounted to project outwardly from the end surface to clear crop away from the space between the outer face of the end plate and the divider.

    Abstract: An agricultural implement mountable to a towing vehicle comprises a main mounting assembly, a toolbar slidably attached to the main mounting assembly, a plurality of row units mounted on the toolbar, a wand guidance system, and a control unit. The main mounting assembly is configured to be mountable to the towing vehicle. The wand guidance system is mounted on a selected one of the plurality of row units. The wand guidance system is configured to sense a position of the selected row unit relative to a first of a plurality of crop rows and generate a control signal based on the position of the selected row unit relative to the first crop row. The control unit is configured to adjust a lateral position of the toolbar relative to the main mounting assembly based on the control signal.

    Abstract: An agricultural implement is provided having a toolbar and a plurality of row units mounted along the toolbar for working rows of ground. Each of the row units comprises one or more working devices for working the ground and an actuator for varying a ground force applied by the row unit to the ground. The improvement comprises a control system which controls the actuators for multiple the row units so as to define a zone ground force system where first and second groups of the row units define first and second zones. The first group of row units in the first zone are operated together under a first down pressure to generate a first ground force to work a first plurality of rows in a field. The second group of row units in the second zone are operated together under a second down pressure to generate a second ground pressure greater than the first ground pressure to work a second plurality of rows of ground which are harder than the first plurality of rows.

    Abstract: A skid shoe for use with a header for harvesting row crops, in particular corn, comprises a body having a curvilinear side profile including: a central section having a first side wall, a second side wall, and a bottom surface that is convexly curved in a transverse direction bowing outwardly between the first side wall and the second side wall; a front section having a front external surface that extends forwardly and upwardly from the central section; and a rear section having a rear external surface that extends rearwardly and upwardly from the central section.
