ABSTRACT:
Hydraulically driven compacting augers are supported within a cotton basket and are connected for operation to a hydraulic source through a remotely actuatable reversing valve. The augers are rotated a first direction to compress the cotton toward the front of the basket as the air duct system blows the cotton rearwardly into the basket. After the cotton is compacted toward the front of the basket, the reversing valve is actuated to cause the augers to rotate in the opposite direction and compress the cotton toward the rear of the basket. The augers additionally serve to help meter the cotton from the basket during dumping and are reversible during dumping.
