A portable water feeder for collecting rain water for bees, butterflies and many other uses has a vessel in which rain water is collected. A filter removes impurities from the rain water and a wind-powered agitator maintains the water in motion to minimize the build-up of algae. A valve controls the quantity of water which flows from the vessel to a watering station where the water is available for use.

A fluid line connection for a manifold of a pneumatic distribution system for an agricultural air seeder. The fluid line connection has a male connector extending from the manifold and a plurality of threads on an exterior surface, a fitting connector configured to retain a primary tube thereon, the fitting connector defining a lip, and a locking ring having a plurality of threads and a receiving portion on an interior surface, the receiving portion configured to receive the lip to retain the fitting connector with the locking ring, and the plurality of threads of the locking ring configured to engage the plurality of threads on the male connector. The fitting connector is removable from the male connector by disengaging the locking ring without requiring axial movement of the fitting connector.

An agricultural train assembly having a tractor and at least one implement coupled to the tractor through a tongue. The assembly has a tractor braking system that selectively applies tractor brakes, an implement braking system that selectively applies implement brakes, a controller that selectively applies the implement braking system, a sensor that communicates with the controller to identify a push force applied to the tongue, the push force being the amount of force applied by the at least one implement towards the tractor. Wherein, the controller communicates with the sensor to identify the push force and compares the push force to a push threshold and when the push force is greater than the push threshold, the controller instructs the implement braking system to apply a burst braking procedure.

The present disclosure relates to the field of artificial honeycombs, in particular to an artificial nest for solitary bees and an application method of the artificial nest. The artificial nest comprises a main enclosure tube, hanging rings, a plurality of trapping hollow tubes and tightening mechanisms used for clamping the trapping hollow tubes. The hanging rings are arranged at an outer sidewall of the main enclosure tube. The tightening mechanisms are annularly arranged at an inner sidewall of the main enclosure tube, and the trapping hollow tubes are fixed in a ring of each tightening mechanism in an axis direction of the main enclosure tube. Each tightening mechanism comprises a connecting steel wire and fastening springs. The sidewall of the main enclosure tube is provided with fixing holes for fixing the tightening mechanisms.

A seeding apparatus includes an implement frame mounted on wheels and a plurality of furrow openers mounted on the implement frame. A primary air seeder cart is pivotally connected about a vertical implement pivot axis to an implement hitch on the implement frame, and an implement pivot limiting system is operative to limit a degree of pivoting of the primary air seeder cart about the implement pivot axis with respect to the implement frame to a selected degree chosen to reduce bending of conduits. A secondary air seeder cart can be pivotally connected to a cart hitch on the primary air seeder cart about a vertical cart pivot axis and an cart pivot limiting system is operative to limit the degree of pivoting of the secondary air seeder cart about the cart pivot axis.
