Abstract

Lift arms are mounted upon a cotton module builder. Cotton harvested from the field is placed into a basket which sets upon a convex guide upon a trailer. The trailer is pulled by a tractor to the module builder alongside the arms. The guide, together with the basket, is moved laterally toward the module builder. The arms are actuated to lift the basket from the guide to above the module builder. As the basket moves above the module builder a trip upon the module builder unlatches a door formed by one of the sides of the basket allowing the cotton to fall from the basket into the module builder. After the cotton has emptied into the module builder the basket is returned to the guide upon the trailer. The basket on the trailer is then moved to a harvester and refilled with harvested cotton.
