Grass collection container to be attached to tractor, comprising safety lid for pressure duct, activated when container is lifted

摘要

The container (10) is attached to a tractor, can be hydraulically lifted and lowered, and is controlled by the power take-off shaft (9). The cut material is sucked into the container (10) by a vacuum creating device (7) and transported into the container (10) through a pressure duct (24). When full, the container (10) is lifted by a hydraulically operated (17) system of rods and levers (13) and emptied into the loading area of a suitable vehicle. The new design of this arrangement is provided with a safety lid (27), covering the pressure duct (24) automatically when the container (10) reaches its highest position.
