(1) Field of the Invention
This invention relates to seed cotton harvesting and more particularly to transporting harvested seed cotton from a cotton stripper to a cotton module builder.
(2) Description of the Prior Art
Before my invention, workers in the art had provided trailers, or dump baskets, to transport cotton from a cotton harvester to a module builder.
It is necessary to elevate the basket above the top of the module builder, about eleven feet, to dump the cotton into the module builder.
Normally, the trailer is of such light weight that it tends to overturn or be overturned by the wind when it is elevated to sufficient height and to one side as is necessary to properly dump cotton from the basket into the module builder.
