A Multi-Armed Lifting Accessory is disclosed herein which is compact and transportable in various deployments. The Multi-Armed Lifting Accessory is advantageous and useful as it has hingedly connected loading and support arms attached to a main lifter body. The supporting arms are spring loaded allowing the Multi-Armed Lifting Accessory to stably engage with irregular shaped objects such as barge lid or a skidsteer loader and allows for flexible engagement and balanced lifting operations.

A drainage tile stringer system which includes a spool which has an automated hat, which translates along the stinger or shaft of the spool so that the vertical size of the spool is adjustable to accommodate differences in coils of drainage tiles. The system is automated so that a single controller can be utilized to perform all of the hydraulic functions required to load a coil onto the drainage tile stringer system and to adjust the vertical spool dimension.

An excavator tool attaching mechanism includes a housing having a pair of housing walls; a fixed engagement member for engaging with a first coupling pin of an excavator tool; a moveable engagement mechanism for engaging with a second coupling pin of the excavator tool; and a safety mechanism moveable between a locked and an unlocked configuration. The moveable engagement mechanism includes an engaging element moveable between a first position for releasing the excavator tool and a second position for engagement with the second coupling pin. The safety mechanism is automatically moved from the unlocked to the locked configuration by movement of the engaging element from the first to the second position, preventing movement of the engaging element between the second and first position. The engaging element is moveable to the second position when the moveable engagement mechanism engages with the second coupling pin.

A controller that includes a memory and an electronic processor. The electronic processor receives a first signal and a second signal. The electronic processor determines a retract torque limit based on the first signal and the second signal. The electronic processor sets a retract torque parameter of a crowd motor to the retract torque limit that has been determined. The electronic processor operates the crowd motor at or below the retract torque parameter.

The Multi-Armed Lifting Accessory is advantageous and useful as it has hingedly connected loading and support arms attached to a main lifter body. The supporting arms are spring loaded allowing the Multi-Armed Lifting Accessory to stably engage with irregular shaped objects such as barge lid or a skid steer loader and allows for flexible engagement and balanced lifting operations.

A work machine includes at least one input device configured to generate input information. A controller is coupled to the input device(s) and is configured to store the input information in a buffer. The controller is configured to detect a trigger and responsively save at least a portion of contents of the buffer to memory. A wireless communication module is coupled to the controller and is configured to transmit an external capture signal when the controller detects the trigger.

A plow edge having improved durability and performance is provided which can comprise an elastomeric material, for example, a styrene elastomeric material. The present disclosure provides a plow blade edge system for mounting to a mold board of a plow comprising an adapter blade, at least two elastomeric blade segments wherein each segment is selectively reversible to present first and second edges; a clamp bar wherein the clamp bar is mounted to the adapter blade with the at least two elastomeric blade segments secured therebetween; and, each of the at least two elastomeric blade segments secured selectively in a first orientation or a second orientation.

A turning work vehicle includes a lower travel body, an upper turning body, a work device, a rotation body, and a support column. The lower travel body is provided with a blade. The upper turning body is supported by the lower travel body so as to be able to turn. The work device is supported by the upper turning body so as to be able to rotate. The rotation body is provided to the blade. The support column projects from the rotation body. A target prism, which is the measurement object of a total station, can be secured to the support column. The rotation body rotates in relation to the blade, whereby the posture of the support column is configured so as to be able to switch between an upright posture and a fallen posture.

A working machine includes a machine body, an engine on the machine body, a motor/generator to perform an assisting action in which the motor/generator functions as a motor to assist the engine in driving and an electricity generating action in which the motor/generator functions as a generator to generate electricity using power from the engine, a working device to function using power from the engine and the motor/generator, a work operation actuator for operation of the working device, an action controller to cause the assisting action to be performed when a rotation speed of the engine is equal to or less than a first rotation speed and cause the electricity generating action to be performed when the rotation speed of the engine is equal to or greater than a second rotation speed greater than the first rotation speed, and a speed controller to change the first rotation speed or the second rotation speed according to an operation amount of the work operation actuator.
