Work vehicle
The purpose of the present invention is to improve visibility of a status display unit while simplifying the installation of the status display unit and preventing damage to the status display unit. The present invention comprises: a work vehicle body capable of traveling automatically; a status detection unit that detects the status of the work vehicle body; and status display units that show a status display according to the status of the work vehicle body detected by the status detection unit. At least one pair of status display units are arranged diagonally across the work vehicle body in plan view.
Multi-product sensing system for a common conduit of an agricultural product distribution system
An air cart for use in an agricultural air seeding system includes a first storage compartment for holding a first granular product type. The air cart also includes a second storage compartment for holding a second granular product type different from the first granular product type. The air cart further includes a common conduit configured to receive the first granular product type from the first storage compartment and the second granular product type from the second storage compartment to enable simultaneous flow of the first granular product type and the second granular product type. The air cart even further includes a multi-product particle flow rate sensing system configured to monitor respective flow rates for both the first granular product type and the second granular product type during simultaneous flow of the first granular product type and the second granular product type through the common conduit.

Semantic Segmentation to Identify and Treat Plants in a Field and Verify the Plant Treatments
A farming machine including a number of treatment mechanisms treats plants according to a treatment plan as the farming machine moves through the field. The control system of the farming machine executes a plant identification model configured to identify plants in the field for treatment. The control system generates a treatment map identifying which treatment mechanisms to actuate to treat the plants in the field. To generate a treatment map, the farming machine captures an image of plants, processes the image to identify plants, and generates a treatment map. The plant identification model can be a convolutional neural network having an input layer, an identification layer, and an output layer. The input layer has the dimensionality of the image, the identification layer has a greatly reduced dimensionality, and the output layer has the dimensionality of the treatment mechanisms.
AGRICULTURAL MACHINE COMPRISING SENSORS
In accordance with one or more embodiments herein, an agricultural machine (100) comprising sensors is provided. The agricultural machine (100) comprises a number of sensor programming devices (110), each comprising a unique set of sensor programming instructions, and is arranged to comprise one single corresponding sensor device (120) for each of the sensor programming devices (110). Each sensor programming device (110) is mounted in a programming position (115) adjacent a sensor position (125) for the corresponding sensor device (120), and each sensor device (120) is arranged to be mounted in the sensor position (125) and automatically receive the sensor programming instructions from the corresponding sensor programming device (110). This ensures that if a sensor device (120) is moved from one sensor position (125) to another sensor position (125), it automatically receives a different set of programming instructions.
PROTECTIVE FRAME POSITION CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AGRICULTURAL WORKING VEHICLE WHEEL
It is disclosed a height control system with respect to the ground of wheel protective frame 40 for working vehicle 10 for an agricultural applicator, wherein the wheel protective frame 40 is mounted on the wheel 14, 16 by means of at least one bearing 53,54 aligned with the center of rotation of the vehicle wheel, and a position guide 55 which is associable with the upper cast 50 of the suspension by means of a pin 56 to prevent rotation of the protective frame 40 and also maintain the position of the protective frame 40 at any height that the suspension of the vehicle is. The position guide 55 comprises a geometry oriented vertically and compatible with the path travelled by the first end 521 of a damping element 52, which is associated with the center of the wheel 14, 16.

System and method for identifying plugging of ground engaging tools based on tool weight
A system for identifying plugging within an agricultural implement is provided. The system includes a ground engaging tool configured to be supported by the agricultural implement. A weight sensor is operable to measure a weight of one or both of the ground engaging tool and the agricultural implement. A controller is communicatively coupled to the weight sensor. The controller is configured to receive, from the weight sensor, a signal that corresponds to the weight of one or both of the ground engaging tool and the agricultural implement. The controller is further configured to determine when the ground engaging tool is plugged based at least in part on the signal from the weight sensor.
