ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for temporarily storing cotton after harvesting by forming the cotton into modules. The apparatus includes a box frame which is open at the top and bottom and has a door at one end thereof. The apparatus includes a carriage which is mounted for movement longitudinally along the top of the frame. A tramper footing is mounted for vertical movement with respect to the carriage, which tramper compresses the cotton within the frame to form the cotton module. The tramper is powered by means of a hydraulic piston and cylinder arrangement wherein the piston and cylinder arrangement can be retracted into the frame when the frame is transported from one place to another. A hydraulic system is provided for controlling both the displacement and the rate of displacement of the tramper during the cotton compacting process. After the cotton module has been formed, retractible wheels on opposite sides of the frame raise the frame to allow the frame to move longitudinally relative to the cotton module.
