A power-split axle drive for an agricultural vehicle, including a first additional drive element, a first vehicle axle, a second vehicle axle, and a primary drive element for providing a torque which via a first shaft is able to be transmitted to a primary transmission. The primary transmission is connected to the second vehicle axle, and at least the second vehicle axle via the primary transmission is drivable by the torque of the primary drive element. The power-split axle drive has a power-splitting transmission connected to the second vehicle axle and the primary transmission and via a second shaft is connected to the first vehicle axle. The first additional drive element is able to be connected to the power-splitting transmission, wherein a first switching element is disposed on the second shaft.

A system for detecting the operational status of a ground engaging tool of a tillage implement including an agricultural implement including a frame and a tool assembly supported relative to the frame. The ganged tool assembly includes a toolbar coupled to the frame and one or more ground engaging tools coupled to the toolbar. The system further includes a sensor coupled to the tool assembly and configured to capture data indicative of a load acting on the one or more ground engaging tools. Additionally, the system includes a controller configured to monitor the data received from the sensor and compare at least one monitored value associated with the load acting on the ground engaging tool(s). Moreover, the controller is further configured to identify the ground engaging tool(s) as being plugged when the monitored value(s) differs from the predetermined threshold value.

A soil monitoring system for an agricultural tillage implement includes a sensor configured to be coupled to a frame of the agricultural tillage implement. The sensor is configured to be directed toward a region of a soil surface. In addition, the sensor is configured to emit an output signal toward the region of the soil surface and to receive a return signal indicative of a profile of the soil surface within the region. Furthermore, the soil monitoring system includes a controller configured to identify a rough soil profile in response to determining that at least one variation in the profile of the soil surface within the region is greater than a first threshold value, and/or in response to determining that a number of variations in the profile of the soil surface within the region is greater than a second threshold value.

An electric powered self-propelled driving machine for working a ground comprising a bearing frame adapted to remain at a given distance from a reference surface when the machine is assembled, kinematic mechanisms coupled to the bearing frame and adapted to be arranged close to said reference surface when the machine is in use, electric motorization means, coupled to the bearing frame and operatively connected to the kinematic mechanisms, adapted to be electrically operated to move the bearing frame, a power supply cable adapted to be electrically connected to the electric motorization means and to be connected to an electric power supply source, a reference rotor around which the power supply cable is wound to form an electric coil of predefined length, coupled to the bearing frame and operatively connected to first rotation means adapted to be operated to unwind/rewind the power supply cable from/onto the reference rotor at least during the advancement of the driving machine (1) to perform a working of a ground, and a distribution arm, operatively connected to the bearing frame and supporting the power supply cable so as to at least limit the interference thereof with the kinematic mechanisms during the advancement of the driving machine on the ground. In an innovative manner, the driving machine provides for the reference rotor, and the electric coil wound thereon, to be arranged in the central part of the bearing frame so that both the front part and the rear part of the bearing frame are frontally free and directly facing the external environment in order to accommodate, removably, both pieces of equipment for working the ground.

An agricultural implement wear monitoring system that monitors a first component of an agricultural implement. A sensor detects and emits a signal indicative of a first geometric dimension of the first component and/or a second geometric dimension of the first component relative to a second component. A controller couples to the sensor. The controller monitors the first geometric dimension and/or the second geometric dimension, and in response to a detected change in the first geometric dimension and/or the second geometric dimension determines a remaining service life of the first component.

Techniques are described for generating population counts for seed production plants based on one or more images obtained from a camera on an aerial vehicle including, but not limited to, UAVs. The image(s) is processed to identify the plurality of rows of seed production plants, classify each one of the identified rows as either male or female, and produce a count of the number of seed production plants in the male rows and produce a count of the number of seed production plants in the female rows. The seed production plants can be corn seed plants or any other type of seed production plant in which male and female seed production plants can be distinguished from one another based on one or more aerial images.
