The present invention relates to the harvesting machine. More specifically, the present
invention relates to an electronically operated portable harvester.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the life of production of people, with the continuous improvement of living
standard, agriculture is still disconnected with the increase, particularly in terms of
machinery used for plantation, harvesting, and other agricultural use. The
increasing size of farms has created new situations for farmers. With limited
lengths of seasons for agricultural operations, e.g., tilling, planting, harvesting,
baling, and the like, it has become difficult for some farmers to complete certain
tasks within a limited timeframe.
Some implements are becoming larger, such as the introduction of planters with a
large number of row units. The more row units allow for fewer passages through a
field. The costs associated with such equipment can be high, limiting the number
of planters that a farmer can afford. Even when farmers can afford multiple
implements, including tractors and other equipment, there may be a problem of
being able to hire enough workers to operate everything. For
example, harvesting crop includes many of the same issues as planting, with the
additional issue that combines and other equipment associated with harvesting can
be more expensive. Furthermore, with planting, spraying, harvesting, and other
operations, the time for completing each operation can be increased by the
constant need to replenish materials, empty materials, replenish fuel, replace
individual components, and any other task that may involve the stopping of the
operation, for even a limited time.
Some of the prior art invention that has worked on the harvesting operations are
listed below
US8690513B2 describes an unloader system for bulk materials such as
agricultural crop material and the like, and more particularly, to an unloader
system having a raise system for an unloader conveyor that automatically supports
3
and raises a free end of the conveyor while optionally straightening it from a bent
or folded condition, as the conveyor is pivoted from a stored position to an
operating position.
None of the existing prior art is present that can overcome the above mention
disadvantages like a heavy load of the operation, economically friendly.
Therefore, there is a need in the art for a method, system, and/or apparatus that
can aid farmers and others in completing various operations. The method, system,
and/or apparatus can be used to reduce the time for completing operations, reduce
the amount of manpower needed, increase the conditions in which an operation
can be completed, or otherwise reduce the number of issues associated with
farming and other operations.
OBJECTIVE OF THE INVENTION
The main objective of the present invention is to provide a vehicle for performing
agricultural operations.
Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide a multi-purpose
vehicle that is economically effective.
Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide a vehicle that is
readily transported to confined or small places as it is not bulky.
Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide a self-propelled
vehicle.
Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide a vehicle that is
environmentally friendly as it is free from toxic fumes that come from engine
exhaust.
Further objectives, advantages, and features of the present invention will become
apparent from the detailed description provided herein below, in which various
embodiments of the disclosed invention are illustrated by way of example.
