Locking mechanism for an agricultural header

A locking mechanism for an agricultural header includes a rod configured to extend laterally along the agricultural header and a cam coupled to the rod and configured to engage a respective arm of the agricultural header. The arm is configured to support a cutter bar assembly of the agricultural header, and the arm is configured to rotate relative to a frame of the agricultural header. The rod is configured to rotate in a first direction to a first orientation to engage the cam with the arm to block rotation of the arm relative to the frame, and the rod is configured to rotate in a second direction, opposite the first direction, to a second orientation to disengage the cam from the arm to enable rotation of the arm relative to the frame.

Outdoor power equipment suspension system

An outdoor power equipment unit includes independent suspension system having a frame, a first wheel assembly, a second wheel assembly, a first laterally-extending suspension arm pair, and a second laterally-extending suspension arm pair. The first wheel assembly includes a first wheel and a first side suspension arm. The first side suspension arm is pivotably coupled at a first end to a first side structural member and is fixedly coupled at a second opposite end to a joint of the first wheel assembly. The second wheel assembly is arranged similarly to the first wheel assembly. Both the first laterally-extending suspension arm pair and the second laterally-extending suspension arm pair are configured to independently pivot about the frame to be vertically displaceable relative to the frame.

WORKING VEHICLE

To reduce complexity of operation when a working vehicle performs automatic steering, the working vehicle includes a vehicle body to be manually steered with a steering wheel or automatically steered to travel forward or rearward, an operator's seat on the vehicle body, a console located forward of the operator's seat or located on one side of the operator's seat, a first manual operator for automatic steering provided in or on the console, and a second manual operator for automatic steering attachable at a location rearward of the operator's seat.

AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT FOR ATTACHMENT OR ATTACHMENT TO A TOWING VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR SETTING UP ROAD OPERATION OF AN AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT
20230371432 · 2023-11-23 ·

An agricultural work implement, in particular a mowing unit, for attachment to a towing vehicle is disclosed, along with method of road operation setup, that includes an attachment frame, on which a telescopic support arm is pivotably and/or shiftably arranged, at least one aggregate hinged to the support arm, a gearbox which can be connected to a power take-off shaft of the towing vehicle in a power-receiving manner, and a variable-length output shaft, which is arranged in a power-transmitting manner between the gearbox and the aggregate, wherein the aggregate is positionally changeable by pivoting and/or shifting the support arm and is reversibly adjustable from a field configuration provided for field operation into a transport configuration provided for road operation. The telescoping and/or pivoting of the support arm and/or the adjustment of the gearbox occurs in different sequences as a function of current positions of the support arm and/or the gearbox.
