A work vehicle includes a link mechanism to be equipped with a work implement, a drive mechanism to drive the link mechanism to ascend and descend the work implement, and a control lever is to be operated to ascend and descend the work implement. The work vehicle includes a first displacement transmission mechanism, an additional operational mechanism, and a second displacement transmission mechanism. The first displacement transmission mechanism links the drive mechanism and the control lever to transmit a displacement of the control lever to the drive mechanism. The additional operational mechanism is configured to operate the control lever at a location apart from a position of the control lever. The second displacement transmission mechanism mechanically links the additional operational mechanism and the control lever without interposing the first displacement transmission mechanism to shift the control lever in accordance with an operation of the additional operational mechanism.

A convertible multiple rank agricultural implement for being towed by an agricultural vehicle. The convertible multiple rank agricultural implement includes a towing assembly, a first rank coupled to the towing assembly, wherein the first rank includes a first plurality of row units longitudinally spaced along a longitudinally extending support structure. A second rank is coupled to the first rank, wherein the second rank includes a first section connected to a second plurality of row units, and a second section connected to a third plurality of row units. In a first configuration, the first section and second section are coupled together with a coupler located at adjacent ends of the first section and second section when the second rank is offset and spaced from the first rank. In a second configuration, the first section and second section are spaced apart and longitudinally aligned with the longitudinally extending support structure of the first rank.

An agricultural work system and a method for operating an agricultural work system are disclosed. The agricultural work system performs an agricultural work process and includes an agricultural production machine having at least two axles with at least one device interface and an attachment, which is connected via the device interface to the agricultural production machine. An axle load on at least one axle is determined using a sensor assembly, with the axle loads occurring or happening on axles of the agricultural production machine. An axle load ratio based thereon is cyclically determined using the computer unit of the driver assistance system of the agricultural production machine, coupled in time to the execution of the work process, with the driver assistance system taking into account the agricultural production machine and attachment configuration and operating parameters.
