ABSTRACT:
The cotton module builder comprises a mobile, open-bottomed rectangular frame structure into which field cotton can be deposited. A compacting mechanism is mounted at the open top of the frame structure in order to compress the cotton therein into a compact, self-supporting stack (or module) which can be left in the field when the module builder is moved to a new location. The stack can then be picked up later and transported to a cotton gin.
An improved side frame structure for the module builder increases the structural rigidity thereof and includes a continuous side wall beam of triangular cross sectional configuration interconnecting the side wall struts. This beam provides high torsional resistance and minimizes the horizontal deflections at the base of the vehicle, especially when the rear door of the module builder is open as when the stack or module of cotton is being deposited in the field. Each side frame structure also includes a "walking beam suspension" support for the wheels which allows transport of the module builder over rough or hilly terrain.
