chopping unit (pero no sé cómo está relacionado con "picador")
Explanation:
It seems that the action of the machine is "chopping", as per "chopper" below:

You will notice in the paragraph below the one where your term occurs, the term "rulos de ordeño" which I assume are possibly "chopping rollers", so the "conjunto ordeñador" could be the "chopping unit".

Obviously "picador" in your text also means "chopper" so I'm not sure how "ordeñador" relates to that.

section control


Explanation:
Could it be ordenador? Something that organizes or controls?

With a free firmware update, Ag Leader's SeedCommand planter control system now can control up to 36 planter clutch sections. It also supports row-by-row section control on 30-in. rows, although outside planter sections must have two rows to minimize skips due to terrain changes and GPS or implement drift.

The update also expands planter-monitoring capability to all planters equipped with Kinze, Dickey-john (standard and high-rate) and John Deere AccuCount seed tube sensors. The system monitors and logs average seed population and spacing.

corn harvester/picker/dehusker


Explanation:
Assuming this has nothing to do with milking animals, as your comment to neilmac's answer suggests, then this may be an option. Without further context, though, it's very difficult to say one way or the other.
