A method and system for planning an optimized soil cultivation process of a field for anf agricultural combination is disclosed. The agricultural combination includes an agricultural production machine and a soil cultivating agricultural attachment. A planning control assembly is used to determine recommended actions for the soil cultivation process with an expert model using soil data of the field, wherein the soil data of the field is location-dependent.

A method and system for measuring a working height, such as an absolute working height, of a plurality of agricultural attachments using a sensor assembly is disclosed. The sensor assembly includes a sensor and at least one sensor holder. The sensor holder is mounted at mounting positions onto different attachments, with the sensor being reversibly mounted in the sensor holder at the mounting position. The sensor, in a mounted state, records measured data relating to a working height of the agricultural attachment and transmits the measured data to the control assembly. In turn, the control assembly determines the working height of the particular attachment from a calibration data set specific to the mounting position.

A method for automating an agricultural work task which is performed by a tillage device on an agricultural tractor includes modifying via a control unit at least one process control variable representing a working or operating parameter of the tillage device using feedback data which represent a field state of a field surface before or after tillage, generating via an imaging sensor a ground image of the field surface, and evaluating via a data processing unit the ground image to determine at least some of the feedback data. The data processing unit evaluates the ground image such that the ground image is used to determine the feedback data depending on the result of a monitoring of the field surface for visually covering air dust.

Systems and methods provide automatic assignment of control of a plurality of hydraulic circuits of an associated work vehicle to a plurality of operation systems of an implement. A hydraulic circuit assignment control unit includes a processor, a memory device, logic stored in the memory device, and a communication circuit operatively coupled with the processor. The processor executes the logic to associate an activation of a first hydraulic circuit of the plurality of hydraulic circuits of the associated work vehicle with a physical exercise of an operation system of the plurality of operation systems of the associated implement, and generates pairing assignment data representative of the association of the activated first hydraulic circuit with the physical exercise of the operation system of the implement. The logic generates directionality confirmation and calibration data that is communicated to the plurality of operation systems with the pairing assignment data.

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.

A route search system for a work vehicle includes a receiver, a processor, and a controller. The receiver is to obtain a reference position of the work vehicle. The processor is to define, as a search area, an area around a vehicle reference point in a plan view. The vehicle reference point indicates the reference position of the work vehicle. The controller is to determine a guidance travel route along which the work vehicle is to travel and which is closest to the vehicle reference point in the search area among travel route candidates stored in a memory.

A system for monitoring the operational status of ground-engaging tools of an agricultural implement. The system includes a frame and an assembly including an attachment structure configured to be coupled to the frame and a ground-engaging tool pivotably coupled to the attachment structure at a pivot point. The system further includes a shear pin at least partially extending through both the attachment structure and ground-engaging tool to prevent pivoting of the ground-engaging tool about the pivot point. Additionally, the system includes a sensor configured to detect a load applied through a pivot member extending through at least one of the frame or assembly at any pivot point between the frame and the ground engaging tool. The system further includes a controller, communicatively coupled to the sensor, configured to determine a change in the working condition of the shear pin based on the detected load applied through the pivot member.
