Corn Harvester
US Patent:
4999983, Mar 19, 1991
Filed:
Jan 19, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/467617
Inventors:
Donald B. Britt - Byron NY
Steven S. Dow - Byron NY
Steven S. Dow - Byron NY
Assignee:
Byron Enterprises, Inc. - Byron NY
International Classification:
A01D 4502
US Classification:
56107
Abstract:
A harvester especially adapted for removing ears of sweet corn from stalks which are severed and enter the harvester, rather than being ejected by the snapping rolls of a primary ear stripping mechanism of the harvester, uses stalk engaging belts which bring the severed stalks into stalk ejecting rolls. Ahead of the rolls are stripping rods which engage the ears at their shanks and peel the ears off the stalks as the stalks are pulled outwardly out of the harvester by the ejecting rolls.
Track Vehicles And Power Drive Apparatus For Motivating Tracked Vehicles
US Patent:
5533587, Jul 9, 1996
Filed:
Jun 27, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/265866
Inventors:
Paul W. Dow - Byron NY
Steven S. Dow - Byron NY
Steven S. Dow - Byron NY
Assignee:
Byron Enterprises, Inc. - Byron NY
International Classification:
B62D 5500
US Classification:
180235
Abstract:
An articulated tracked vehicle for agricultural harvesting which reduces damage to fields and can be driven on paved roads at reasonable speeds. The vehicle has front and rear elements, linked by an articulating joint which permits turning and rotation of one element with respect to the other. Each element is motivated by a pair of tracked power units which are hydraulically driven by a heavy duty differential between the units. Each power unit is rotatably mounted solely on a shaft sleeve of the differential and is free to oscillate vertically and independently to absorb irregularities in its path. Each unit includes an endless elastomeric track which has two rows of lugs on its inner surface. A novel drive mechanism engages these lugs to motivate the vehicle. A sealed transmission housing in each power unit protects key drive elements from environmental damage without interfering with operation of the unit.

Steven S. Dow - Byron NY, US
Mark M. Woodruff - Bergen NY, US
Assignee:
Oxbo International Corporation - Byron NY
International Classification:
A01D 43/00
US Classification:
56192
Abstract:
A windrow merger has a frame supporting first, second and third pickup assemblies, with the two outside pickup assemblies foldable between an extended use position and a retracted travel position. Each of the pickup assemblies includes a reversible conveyor providing multiple windrow merging configurations. The pickup assemblies are interchangeable and aligned to define an unobstructed pickup face.

Windrow Merger
US Patent:

Inventors:

Paul W. Dow - Byron NY, US
Assignee:
Oxbo International Corporation - Byron NY
International Classification:
A01D 43/02, A01D 57/00
US Classification:
56364, 56192
Abstract:
A windrow merger including three pickup and transfer units, a folding system, and a plurality of float mechanisms. The folding system employs simultaneous rearward, outward, and upward folding motion so as to ensure none of the units interfere with the other units while folding, and likewise while unfolding. The folding system can further fold and unfold each of the three pickup and transfer units at the same time. During merging operations, the plurality of float mechanisms of the windrow merger limits the range of motion of each pickup and transfer unit. The float mechanisms further transfer a portion of the weight of each pickup and transfer unit from the ground to the frame of the merger. The units of the windrow merger can also include a rub rail having a surface that reduces swirling or clumping of material as the material is conveyed toward an end of the windrow merger.
