Self-propelled Agricultural Working Machine
A self-propelled agricultural working machine comprising: a drive module with a load-bearing chassis; agricultural implements for performing an agricultural operation; an electronic control unit for controlling the ground-engaging member; and an operator station with an operator interface, the operator station configured to be removably attached to the load-bearing chassis.
Farming implement quick-attachment system
A quick-attachment system may be used for attaching an agricultural planter to a strip till. A frame is initially installed on a strip till and may remain permanently attached to the strip till so that the strip till may be separately used in normal operation with the frame attached but without a planter attached. For combination tilling and planting operations, a planter may be attached by completing a three-point hitch attachment to the frame so that a tractor may be used to pull the combination of strip till and planter. Hydraulic cylinders connected to the frame and to the planter may be used to lift and lower the planter relative to the strip till.
Docking apparatus having a docking receptacle and a docking insert, and method for coupling a vehicle
The disclosure relates to a coupling device. This is known below as a docking receptacle. The docking receptacle comprises an approximately U-shaped pilot centring device with an insertion trough tapering approximately conically in an insertion direction for pre-centring a docking insert designed to mate with the docking receptacle, at least a first and a second centring device, with the first and the second centring devices each comprising two coupling elements which are designed for centring a docking insert with respect to the docking receptacle along four centring axes in an insertion direction, and wherein a drawing-in device with two hydraulically actuated drawing-in or capture hooks are provided. The disclosure further relates to a docking insert. This comprises a pilot centring body having an insertion tray tapering approximately conically in an insertion direction and extending in the horizontal direction, at least a first and a second centring device, wherein the first and the second centring devices each comprise at least two coupling elements and/or coupling counter-elements which are designed for centring the docking insert with respect to a docking receptacle along four centring axes extending in an insertion direction and two capture pins extending transversely to the insertion direction in the horizontal. According to the disclosure, a coupling assembly or a docking assembly is, furthermore, provided comprising the docking receptacle and the correspondingly mating docking insert.
Adapter of an agricultural implement and agricultural implement
Adapter (27) of an agricultural implement, having a first, cylindrically contoured section (27a), the external diameter of which is designed to couple the agricultural implement to a US quick-hitch attachment system of an agricultural support vehicle, and having a second, spherically contoured section (27b), the external diameter of which is designed to couple the agricultural implement to a European lower-link attachment system of an agricultural support vehicle.
Method for producing haloamines and haloamine solutions
A method for producing a haloamine solution with reduced amounts of halogen oxyanions including (a) the on-site generation of a halogen-containing oxidant, such as a solution and (b) reacting on-site the halogen-containing oxidant with a nitrogen source, to thereby produce the haloamine solution.
HOSE HANDLING DEVICE AND METHOD
A device includes a mounting portion including a lumen sized and shaped to at least partially encompass, and to be removably secured relative to, a conduit. At least one handle portion extends outward from the mounting portion and at a generally perpendicular angle relative to a central axis of the lumen of the mounting portion.
Agricultural implement, tow bar device, and towing vehicle/implement combination
Agricultural implement having a tow bar device for towing the implement with a towing vehicle includes an implement part that trails the tow bar device mounted so as to be pivotable about a first pivot axis. The first pivot axis is parallel to a horizontal transverse axis of the implement. The trailing implement part and the tow bar device are coupled by means of at least one first actuator. The tow bar device, by means of the first actuator, is pivotable about the first pivot axis in such a manner that a tilt angle between the tow bar device and the trailing implement part is adjustable.
Connector Device for Connecting a Vehicle to another Vehicle, a Motorized Tow Dolly and a Vehicle Modularly Connectable to Multiple Additional Vehicles
A connector device for connecting a first vehicle to a second vehicle, the connector device comprising an upper frame and a lower frame, where the rear side of the upper frame is configured to pivotally connect to the front upper side of the second vehicle, about a first rotation axis, and the rear side of the lower frame is configured to pivotally connect to the front lower side of the second vehicle, about a second rotation axis that is angular in respect to the first rotation axis. The non-zero angle formed between the rotation axes restricts the rotation movements at least about one of these axes. The connector device can be used for forming a removable chain of main and towed vehicle(s) in a manner that enables folding of a towed vehicle over the first vehicle and removably connecting as many vehicles to be towed as required.
SMART IMPLEMENTS
An example smart implement includes a power takeoff connector, one or more sensors, a controller, and a communication unit. The power takeoff connector attaches the smart implement to a tractor. The one or more sensors generate implement data. The controller is configured to determine operating parameters based on the implement data from the one or more sensors. The communication unit is configured to communicate with the tractor.
ARTICULATING TONGUE ARRANGEMENTS FOR TOWED AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS
An articulating tongue arrangement includes a vehicle attachment section enabling attachment of the articulating tongue arrangement to a tow vehicle, an implement attachment section enabling attachment of the articulating tongue arrangement to an agricultural implement, and an articulating beam assembly located between the vehicle attachment section and the implement attachment section. The articulating beam assembly includes, in turn, a leading end portion movably coupled to the vehicle attachment section at a leading pivoting joint, a trailing end portion movably coupled to the implement attachment section at a trailing pivoting joint, and a beam assembly actuator coupled between the leading end portion and the trailing end portion of the articulating beam assembly. The beam assembly actuator is controllable to adjust an effective tow length of the articulating beam assembly, as measured along a straight line extending from the leading pivoting joint to the trailing pivoting joint.
