A work vehicle multi-coupler assembly having a controlled breakaway feature include a pair of coupling elements that mate along a coupling axis. A shear pin is carried by one of the coupling elements. A coupler mechanism connected to the second coupling element and configured to engage the shear pin to bring the first coupling element into mating engagement with the second coupling element. The coupler mechanism is configured to shear the shear pin to permit movement of the first coupling element away from the second coupling element along the coupling axis during a breakaway event.

An assist device for lifting and facilitating the coupling of an implement's driveline to a power take-off on a vehicle is disclosed. The assist device is configured with a handle enabling a user to rotate the device from a storage position to an upright position where the device engages the driveline and hits it into a position suitable for coupling the driveline to the power take-off. The assist device is equipped with a roller to allow the driveline to slide along its longitudinal axis to facilitate coupling. The assist device may be equipped with one or more springs to further accept at least some of the weight of the driveline and enable easier maneuvering of the driveline during the coupling process.

A shock-absorbing tongue assembly for coupling a rotary cutter with a work vehicle includes a coupler configured to couple to the work vehicle, and a linkage mechanism having a proximal end at the rotary cutter and a distal end at the coupler. The linkage mechanism includes a suspension element configured to dampen energy transferred between the rotary cutter and the work vehicle, a primary linkage mechanism extending from the rotary cutter, and a secondary linkage mechanism extending between the primary linkage mechanism and the coupler. The secondary linkage mechanism is configured to rotate about the primary linkage mechanism while maintaining the coupler in a level condition.

An agricultural tractor having an auxiliary control station located outside of the tractor cab. The auxiliary control station is used for the actuation of tractor components, e.g. hydraulic cylinders, when an operator is outside of the cab. The auxiliary control station has a user interface which allows the external controls of the auxiliary control station to be reassigned to operate different actuatable elements of the tractor, thereby providing for increased ease-of-use of the tractor when an operator is outside of the cab.

A system for controlling a working implement connected to a vehicle, the system comprising: at least one tool mounted on the working implement, the implement and the at least one tool configured to perform an agricultural operation; an automatic steering device associated with the vehicle, the automatic steering device configured to guide the vehicle on an intended vehicle path; an actuator for controlling the lateral position of the working implement relative to the vehicle, the actuator connected to an implement control unit that can be operated to control the actuator in such a way that the working implement is moved on an intended path of the working implement and the implement control unit is set up to compensate a lateral deviation of the vehicle from the intended path of the vehicle through actuation of the actuator; and wherein the implement control unit is programmed to pre-set the actuator after a turning operation in a position in which the effects of the turning operation is compensated.

The invention relates to an arrangement for attaching a working tool to a working machine, preferably to a three-point hitch of the working machine, comprising a pushing arm articulated, at one end, to the working machine, and two pulling arms articulated, at one end, to the working machine. The arrangement comprises a coupling mechanism for attaching the three-point hitch, from the cabin of the working machine, to the working tool, or, to a quick hitch positioned between the working tool and the working machine.

One exemplary embodiment is a hitch assembly including forward and rearward lateral members, first and second longitudinal members and a lifting member which are coupled together to form a laterally-articulating pitch-adjustable quadrilateral. The forward lateral member is coupled with the first longitudinal member by a first joint and the second longitudinal member by a second joint. The rearward lateral member is coupled with the first longitudinal member by a third joint and the second longitudinal member by a fourth joint. The lifting member is coupled with the rearward lateral member by a first flexible rigging member and a second flexible rigging member. The quadrilateral can articulate between a left-leaning configuration, a rectangular configuration, and a right-leaning configuration. The lifting member can be adjusted to vary an amount of slack in one or both of the flexible rigging members and to raise and lower the rearward lateral member.

A rear tow hitch assembly connectable to a work tool assembly on a first agricultural implement to tow a second agricultural implement behind the first agricultural implement is provided. The first agricultural implement can be transformable between an operating position and a transport position by pivoting the work tool assembly upwards around a first axis. The rear tow hitch assembly can be shaped to clear the work tool assembly when the first agricultural implement is transformed between the operating position and the transport position while a rear tow hitch assembly remains connected to the second agricultural implement during the transformation.
