Abstract:

A roll-up crowd gate comprises an electrically charged drum that is rotatable in a carriage. Long cables connected to the drum are also electrically charged. A rope translates the carriage in tracks between upstream and downstream locations. Translation of the carriage in the downstream direction when the cables are unrolled from the drum urges a first herd of cows to the downstream location. Carriage stops in the tracks stop carriage translation at the downstream location, but continued operation of the rope when the carriage is against the stop causes the drum to roll up the cables. Reverse operation of the rope translates the carriage above the first herd to the upstream location. A carriage stop at the upstream location stops carriage translation, but continued operation of the rope rotates the drum and unrolls the cables behind a second herd of cows.

Abstract:

A forage compactor is provided having a frame that has cross bars supporting risers that in turn support a shaft. At least one asymmetric wheel is supported by the shaft. The wheels can be paired whereby journals are used to connect to the shaft between recesses of respective wheels. Each wheel has a first side and a second side, each with radiused portions that turn forage away from the wheel. The wheels have a band that is flush with the outer portion of the wheel sides to prevent lifting of the forage. A storage assembly is provided and is integrated into the framework. The storage assembly can be stored within the frame when the compactor is in use, and can be deployed to a locked position in order to store the compactor. A hitch framework is provided that can attach to multiple categories of three point hitches.
