Grass collection container to be attached to tractor, comprising lid closed automatically when returned into lowered position

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 spring supported locking mechanism (22, 23) working in coordination with the lifting unit (13) and closing the container (10) automatically when returned into its prior position.
