SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE REMAINING FATIGUE LIFE OF A SHEAR PIN OF A GROUND-ENGAGING SYSTEM OF AN AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT
A system for determining the remaining fatigue life of a shear pin of a ground engaging system of an agricultural implement may include a ground-engaging system having an attachment structure coupled to a frame of the implement, a ground-engaging tool pivotably coupled to the attachment structure, a shear pin prevent pivoting of the ground-engaging tool, and a biasing element configured to bias the ground-engaging tool towards a ground-engaging position. The system may further include at least one sensor configured to generate data indicative of a load on at least one component of the ground-engaging system, and a controller configured to determine a remaining fatigue life of the shear pin based at least in part on the data indicative of the load on the at least one component of the ground-engaging system.
WORK VEHICLE FLEET WITH INTUITIVE VISION SYSTEM
A work vehicle fleet includes a first model of work vehicle and a second model of work vehicle, different than the first model. The first model includes a first set of display devices; a first set of cameras; and a first controller configured to display a standard set of feeds from the associated first side, second side, and central location of the first set of cameras at the first set of display devices so that the associated feeds are arranged at the first side, the second side, and the central location, respectively, relative to the first operator FOV. The second model includes a second set of display devices; a second set of cameras; and a second controller configured to display so that the associated feeds are arranged at the first side, the second side, and the central location, respectively, relative to the second operator FOV.
DRAFT FORCE DETECTION ON A VEHICLE HAVING A LINKAGE
A vehicle control system for controlling the height of a linkage on a vehicle having a continuously variable transmission (CVT) in which the linkage is automatically raised and lowered depending on a draft force detected by the vehicle including an input draft force detected by sensors in the CVT or driveline is inputted into the control system and the system further processes said input draft force to provide an output draft force upon which movement of the linkage is based and the control system processes the input draft force by compensating the input draft force detected during acceleration or deceleration and/or compensating the input draft detected whilst travelling along a slope, and/or equalising the input draft force by applying a ramp function, and/or reducing the input draft force when the linkage is at a predetermined height.

Method for cultivating sown crops and apparatus for carrying out said method (variants)
A method for increasing the efficiency of farming operations used in the production of sown crops. In the proposed method for cultivating sown crops, all bar none of the technological operations which are carried out in the field, beginning from pre-sowing preparation and ending with the gathering of a harvest, make use of a self-propelled power-operated technological device capable of functioning on tires having a super-low pressure of 5-60 kPa and/or with a pressure on the ground of less than 60 kPa. The proposed method is realized with the aid of a transport and technological system primarily for farming purposes, that utilizes a self-propelled power-operated vehicle on tires of super-low pressure operating among others at a pressure of 5 to 60 kPa and/or exerting a pressure of less than 60 kPa on the soil. This vehicle is equipped with a discharging device and/or a lifting device.
DATA ACQUISITION MODULE FOR AN AGRICULTURAL MACHINE AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND ASSEMBLIES
In one aspect, a system for acquiring data associated with an agricultural field. The system includes an agricultural machine and a data acquisition (DAQ) module supported relative to the agricultural machine. The DAQ module includes a module housing and one or more sensing devices housed within the module housing. The one or more sensing device are configured to generate data associated with a condition of a field as the agricultural machine travels across the field. In addition, the system includes an air circulation system provided in operative association with the DAQ module that is configured to direct an airflow into an interior of the module housing for circulation therein.
Combination C-shaped spring and system
A C-spring contains an inner spring that is spaced apart from the outer primary spring. In one example usage, the upper and lower legs of the C-spring have rear regions respectively configured for being mounted to a tubular frame tool frame member of a ground working implement, such as a disk, and to a bearing housing.
DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENT LOCALIZATION ON AN AGRICULTURAL TRACTOR
A device for implement localization on an agricultural tractor includes a first tractor-side transponder and a second tractor-side transponder. The first tractor-side transponder includes a first transmission and reception region corresponding with a first mechanical implement interface located on the agricultural tractor, and the second tractor-side transponder includes a second transmission and reception region corresponding with a second mechanical implement interface located on the agricultural tractor. An implement-side transponder is in communication with the first and second tractor-side transponders. Each of the first and second tractor-side transponders transmits a separate position identifier to the implement-side transponder via one of the first or second transmission and reception region, and the position identifier is transmitted back to the respective first or second tractor-side transponder.
