Automatic rotating agricultural system to irrigate, plant, gather forage, and/or harvest field and method for operating the system

A method for operating an automatic, rotating agricultural system to irrigate, plant, gather forage, and/or harvest a field, comprising:

• driving frame segments connected to each other to pivot or rotate the frame segments about a center pivot frame fixed on ground, wherein the frame segment includes a plurality of wheels and radial conveyors extending in a radial direction of the frame segments;
• cutting forage or crop by using at least one cutterhead of the frame segments;
• transporting the cut forage or crop via a cutter conveyor to the radial conveyors of the frame segments from the at least one cutterhead;
• transporting the cut forage or crop via the radial conveyors to a feed storage bin that is rotatably connected to the center pivot frame, comprises wheels, and is connected to the frame segments to enable a movement of the feed storage bin about the center pivot frame together with the frame segments;
• storing the cut forage or crop in the feed storage bin;
• and
• moving the cutterhead by a predetermined distance in the radial direction of the frame segments to adjust a position of the cutterhead for a next revolution.

An automatic, rotating agricultural system to irrigate, plant, gather forage, and/or harvest a field, comprising:

• a center pivot frame fixed on ground;
• a plurality of frame segments connected to each other, wherein the frame segments are connected to the center pivot frame and are configured to pivot or rotate about the center pivot frame, and each frame segment comprises:
• a section frame including wheels to enable a movement of the section frame;
• a cutter trolley beam that is coupled to the section frame and extends in a radial direction of the section frame;
• at least one attachment coupled to the cutter trolley beam to gather forage or crop, wherein the least one attachment is movable along the cutter trolley beam in the radial direction of the section frame, each rotation of the at least one attachment moving to a different arc diameter to cover the entire field over a period of multiple rotations;
• a radial conveyor supported by the section frame, wherein the radial conveyor moves the cut forage or crop in the radial direction of the section frame;
• and
• a cutter conveyor operatively coupled to the least one attachment, wherein the cutter conveyor moves the cut forage or crop from the least one attachment to the radial conveyor;
• and
• a feed storage bin rotatably connected to the center pivot frame, comprising wheels, and connected to the frame segments to enable a movement of the feed storage bin about the center pivot frame together with the frame segments, wherein the cut forage or crop transported by the radial conveyors of the frame segments is transported to and stored in the feed storage bin.
