Side-fold planter bar
10448558 · 2019-10-22 · ·

A towable farm implement having a frame element having a field end, a fold gate, and an inner wing tow bar rotatably connected to the frame member. The farm implement having a wing having a wing frame extending from a center end to an outer end. The fold gate can be rotatable between a transport position in which the fold gate is parallel to the main carrier and a field position in which the fold gate is perpendicular to the main carrier. Rotating the fold gate into the transport position can pivot the wing about the inner wing tow bar into a parallel orientation relative to the frame member. Rotating the fold gate into the field position can pivots the wing about the inner wing tow bar into a transverse orientation relative to the frame member.

A ground working implement comprises a frame for receiving working tools and a trailer tower on one side of the ground working implement for attaching the ground working implement to a vehicle. An auxiliary chassis arranged on an other side of the ground working implement with at least one wheel arm and a wheel rotatably fastened thereto. The at least one wheel arm is movable vertically with respect to the ground working implement via at least one linkage. At least one energy accumulator is arranged movably between the frame and the at least one wheel arm with at least one bearing, wherein the at least one bearing is arranged on a straight line. The at least one linkage is arranged in a lowered position and a raised position of the at least one wheel arm along the straight line.

Agricultural machine having a folding assistance device
10426074 · 2019-10-01 · ·

An agricultural machine that has two sections hinged relative to each other is disclosed. An oblong hole is made in one of the two sections. The machine includes a connecting device that has an actuator configured to cause one section to pivot relative to the other, and a travel stop. The actuator supports a movable pivot rod with a longitudinal axis transverse to the oblong hole. The movable pivot rod is positioned to slide in the length of the oblong hole. The travel stop has a blocking state in which it obstructs the oblong hole, thereby limiting the sliding of the pivot rod in the oblong hole. The travel stop is able to achieve the blocking state from a free state in which it is mounted in a movable rotating manner relative to the oblong hole.

A working platform that can be removably attached to a front portion of a utility tractor is provided in which the platform is at least horizontally adjustable, is sized to allow a user to move about on the platform, and the tractor can be controlled by a user with controls located on the platform. In addition, an automatic steering system may be included that allows the tractor to remain generally along a preselected course, such as between rows of trees or other objects. As the tractor moves down the row of an orchard, the platform can be adjusted so as to be in an appropriate position for performing work on the tree.

Rotational fluid joint for agricultural machine

A rotational joint is provided for an agricultural machine having hinged frame sections, each frame section carrying one or more plumbing lines for moving a carrier fluid. The rotational joint includes first and second joint parts. Each joint part has a coupler defining a flow passage leading to an interface opening. The joints parts are coupled to allow for relative rotation about a rotation axis passing through the interface openings. In at least one angular orientation of the joint parts, the flow passages of the couplers are in fluid communication.

MOVEMENT SYSTEM FOR ANY FARMING MACHINERY
20190281761 · 2019-09-19 ·

A movement system for farming machinery includes a transmission box inserted in the rotation group which, due to the action of a rigid arm, causes a lateral translation movement and, due the action of the rotation group, a rotation movement of the functional head around the center of rotation. The rotation group is positioned with respect to the functional head to translate along the trajectory. The functional head is arranged in a collapsed configuration so the functional head is situated within the overall road size determined by the tractor; and to assume a translated configuration, in which the functional head is situated outside the overall road form of the tractor; the rotation movement allows full rotations of 360 of the functional head due to the coincidence of the center of rotation with the axis of rotation of the transmission box.
