Please replace the Abstract originally filed with the following: 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 riding lawn care vehicle may include a frame, an engine, a steering assembly, a support platform and a front platform. At least a pair of drive wheels may be operably coupled to the frame. The engine is operably coupled to the frame via an engine platform. The engine is disposed between the drive wheels to selectively provide drive power to the drive wheels via respective hydraulic pumps. The steering assembly includes control levers operably coupled to respective drive wheels via the respective hydraulic pumps. The steering assembly enables steering of the lawn care vehicle based on drive speed control of the drive wheels responsive to positioning of the control levers. The support platform is operably coupled to the frame at a rear portion of the lawn care vehicle. The front platform is operably coupled to the frame forward of the engine platform. The front platform supports the hydraulic pumps.

One apparatus for providing high-resolution CSI feedback includes a processor and a radio transceiver. The processor computes sets of amplitude and phase parameters for one or more channel compression matrices. Here, each channel compression matrix corresponds to one transmission layer of a multiple-layer transmission, where each channel compression matrix is comprised of one or more column vectors. The radio transceiver sends indications of the sets of amplitude and phase parameters to one or more network entities is a mobile communication network.

A trailer is provided for having a self-propelled swather mounted thereon. The trailer includes first and second caster wheel supports and first and second drive wheel supports. The caster wheel supports are selectively movable being stowed and support positions. The drive wheel supports are selectively movable between horizontally disposed and vertically disposed positions. Each of the caster wheel supports includes a caster wheel turning assembly to partially pivot the associated caster wheel as the swather is backed onto the trailer. The trailer also includes extenders for attachment to first and second ramps. The extenders may be stowed on the bumper.

A system for sensing harvested crop levels within a crop tank of an agricultural harvester includes a tank cover section movable between an open position and a covered position relative to an opening of the crop tank. The system includes a sensor array including crop level sensors configured to capture data indicative of a crop level of harvested crop. The sensor array is supported, at least in part, relative to the crop tank such that the sensor array is configured to have a first orientation when the tank cover section is in the covered position and a second orientation when the tank cover section is in the open position. The sensor array defines a first vertical dimension when the sensor array is disposed in the first orientation that is less than a second vertical dimension defined by the sensor array when the sensor array is disposed in the second orientation.

In one aspect, a system for adjusting operating parameters of an agricultural harvester based on estimated crop volume values may include an image capture device configured to capture one or more images of the crop materials standing within the field prior to the crop materials being harvested by a harvester. The system may also include a controller communicatively coupled to the image capture device. The controller may be configured to estimate a crop volume value associated with a quantity of the crop materials transferred through the harvester based on the one or more images captured by the image capture device. Additionally, the controller may be further configured to initiate a control action associated with adjusting an operating parameter of the harvester based on a magnitude of the estimated crop volume value.

A downdraft fan assembly mountable on a vehicle roll bar, which may be used for providing a flow of ambient air over the vehicle operator, and a canopy carried by the fan assembly, which may be used for providing solar and precipitation protection for the operator. The downdraft fan may draw air through a roof cap with a rear-facing outlet, or may draw air through a series of vents disposed around the canopy of the assembly, or through some combination of the two, such as may be desired. In some variations, multiple openings may be provided in the roof, if desired.
