The principles of operation of a mechanical harvester for sweet onions were developed. The key features included: a lifting-head for each row comprised of guides for lifting the tops, gathering-wheels, an undercutter, liftingbelts, depth-gage wheels,

A pull-type, single-row whole-stalk harvester was designed, built, and tested. Power was delivered via a u-joint driveline to five pumps (five hydraulic circuits) on the harvester. Stalks were captured with gathering chains, cut at the base with a di

Peanut curing must proceed fast enough to avoid mold problems and harvest delays, and yet proceed slow enough to avoid milling quality loss. A new dryer heat control method, termed drying rate control (DRC), was developed to better meet the above cri

Whole sweet sorghum stalks were chopped immediately after harvest and after 30 days storage using knife velocities of 6, 12 and 18 m s −1 and chop intervals of 0·5, 1·0 and 1·5 cm. The resulting mixture of short pith particles and longer rind-le

The potential market for by-products is a critical question in the system analysis of sweet sorghun as a feedstock for ethanol. Possible sweet sorghun by-products (rind-leaf hay, pith-presscake silage, combination (pith presscake plus rind-leaf) sila

Airflow rates through each plenum port of 71 peanut dryers were measured in situ and ranged from 5 to 15 m3/min/m3. Dryers with one fan, or two fans in tandem, and with four or more plenum ports had lower airflow rates through the two ports closest t

Three systems for harvesting and processing sweet sorghum stalks to produce juice for fermentation to ethanol were compared using computer simulation. The costs are estimated at $0.56, $0.63, and $0.87/L of potential ethanol for Systems A, B, and C,

Sweet sorghum can be readily grown in the Eastern U.S. Piedmont, but irregular-shaped fields on rolling terrain present a challenge to mechanical harvesting. An Atkinson sugarcane harvester was converted from a three-point hitch to a pull-type machin

A test stand was built to demonstrate the characteristics of a hydrostatic transmission designed for lawn and garden tractors. The output shaft of the hydraulic motor was connected through an over-running clutch to the shaft of an electric motor; thu

A mobile fan testing unit was developed for in situ measurement of total airflow delivered by agricultural fans. A supply fan driven by a diesel engine through a hydrostatic drive was used to deliver air through a perforated plate into a canvas duct
