The invention relates to a method for controlling a soil working means, based on an image processing. Such a soil working means comprises a locomotion member and a working member. The method comprises the steps of acquiring at least one digital image of the soil by means of digital image acquisition means installed on the working means; processing, by means of an electronic processing unit, the at least one digital image acquired by performing at least one convolution operation on the digital image by means of a trained neural network; obtaining, by means of the electronic processing unit, at least one synthetic soil descriptor based on such a processing; generating, by means of the electronic processing unit, at least one control signal of the locomotion member or of the working member based on the synthetic soil descriptor.

A draper belt tensioning system having a frame having a first tensioner mount, a roller, and a first belt tensioner. The roller is movable along a lateral direction that is perpendicular to a roller rotation axis. The first belt tensioner is connected to the first roller end and selectively connectable to the first tensioner mount. The first belt tensioner includes a first travel stop configured to selectively abut the first tensioner mount with the first tensioner mount between the first travel stop and the first roller end, a first spring, and a first threaded connector configured to move the first roller end closer to and further from the first travel stop upon rotation of the threaded connector. The first travel stop, first spring and first threaded connector are removable from the first tensioner mount without disassembly from each other and without disassembly from the first roller end.

The standing motorized lawn mower comprises a mower and a sulky. The standing motorized lawn mower may be adapted to allow a user to stand on the sulky as the sulky is pulled by the mower. The mower may be steered using a steering column. A touch sensitive display located on the steering column may be adapted to provide functional control of the standing motorized lawn mower to the user. The steering column may provide a phone holder, a cup holder, and an earphone jack. One or more string trimmers located on the front of the mower may trim grass at the edge of a mowing area.

A drawn agricultural implement includes a main frame and a plurality of ground engaging units supporting the main frame from a ground surface. A working unit is supported from the main frame and configured to engage crops as the implement moves in a forward direction across the ground surface. A draft tongue extends from the main frame for attachment to a tractor. A camera having a field of view is mounted on at least one of the draft tongue, the main frame and the working unit. The camera is movable relative to the at least one of the draft tongue, the main frame and the working unit to reposition the field of view.

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to display data in compact spaces. Examples instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to at least render a view container and a scroll container included in a graphics user interface (GUI); in response to a left edge of the scroll container being closer to a left side of the GUI than a left edge of the view container, render a left scroll toggle actionable to scroll the scroll container left; and in response to a right edge of the view container being closer to the left side of the GUI than a right edge of the scroll container, render a right scroll toggle actionable to scroll the scroll container right.

A lawncare apparatus includes a main body, multiple wheels supporting the main body, a cutting blade disposed in the main body, a motor driving the cutting blade, and an operating arm connected to the first end of the main body. The distance in the horizontal direction between the axial central line of the cylindrical gripping portion of the operating arm and the axes of the elongated handle of the main body along the length direction is less than 5 cm. Because of the structure mate relationship between the operating arm and the cylindrical gripping portion, the operator feels more comfortable during the transporting process, the volume of lawncare apparatus during transporting is reduced and the convenience of transporting is improved.

A system and method for sensing an edge of a region includes at least one distance sensor configured to detect a plurality of distances of objects along a plurality of adjacent scan lines. A controller is in communication with the at least one distance sensor and is configured to determine a location of an edge of a region within the plurality of adjacent scan lines. The controller includes a comparator module configured to compare values corresponding to the detected plurality of distances, and an identification module configured to identify the location of the edge of the region according to the compared values. In one example, the values corresponding to the detected plurality of distances include couplets of standard deviations that are analyzed and selected to identify the location of the edge.
