SEED COTTON STACKING APPARATUS

摘要

A seed cotton stacking apparatus with a mechanical compressor means pivotally attached adjacent the rear end of a slip form. The open top - open bottom slip form has upwardly extending side walls and a front end wall which define a cotton receiving zone. The side walls include outwardly flared, upper portions. The compressor means includes a crop contacting platen which has a generally planar central portion and downwardly sloping edge portions. The slip form is supported on longitudinally extending skids which are in ground contact during the rick forming process. A selectively operable wheel assembly is included to pivot a pair of wheels downwardly thereby lifting the slip form to a transport position from a skid position.
