Digging machine having a body with an at least partially hollow interior and one or more odd-shaped wheels attached to the body, one or more motors disposed inside the body, and each motor can be configured to independently power one of the one or more odd-shaped wheels, where each of the one or more odd-shaped wheels include one or more digging members.

An earth auger includes a transmission assembly arranged on a connecting base, a motor assembly connected with the transmission assembly and driving the transmission assembly to rotate, a controller arranged at a first side of the transmission assembly and connected with the motor assembly, a control knob and a plurality of indicator lights arranged on a housing, and a gyroscope sensor. The controller controls a rotation of the motor assembly through an on-off of a circuit. Angular velocities and angular acceleration critical values of different gears are set through the control knob. The indicator lights are used to display a current gear, and the gyroscope sensor is arranged on a second side of the transmission assembly. The gyroscope sensor obtains angular velocity information and angular acceleration information, and feedbacks a monitored signal to the controller. When the monitored signal exceeds a preset critical value, the controller stops the motor.

A system includes at least one processor configured to detect, based on point cloud information, portions of a particular object, and determine, based on the detected portions, at least a first portion having a first reflectivity corresponding to a license plate, and at least two additional spaced-apart portions corresponding to locations on the particular object other than a location of the first portion. The at least two additional portions have reflectivity substantially lower than the first reflectivity. The at least one processor is further configured to classify the particular object as a vehicle, based on a spatial relationship and a reflectivity relationship between the first portion and the at least two additional portions.

A field planting system for planting seeds of at least two plant genotypes in a field includes a multi-variety planter operable to plant the seeds of the at least two plant genotypes in the field. The field planting system also includes a controller in operable communication with the multi-variety planter. The controller is configured to receive georeferenced field information for the field and plant information for the at least two plant genotypes, and generate a planting map for the field based on the georeferenced field information and the plant information, the planting map including a planting pattern for interplanting the seeds of the at least two plant genotypes. The controller is further configured to monitor a location of the multi-variety planter in the field, and control the multi-variety planter to plant the seeds of the at least two plant genotypes in the field according to the planting map.

An agricultural system including a vehicle, a controller and a display mounted in the vehicle. The display is coupled to the controller. The controller is configured to interact with a user by way of the display using a card manager system. The card manager system is configured to display a hierarchy of setup selections on the display using a plurality of setup cards displayed in a hierarchical manner thereby implying dependency between underlying setup criteria of equipment represented by said setup cards.

A planter for planting seeds in the ground including a seed meter configured to provide a regulated flow of seeds, and a seed conduit defining a first portion of a flow path configured to transport the seeds from the seed meter towards the ground. The planter also includes a seed guide having an aperture in fluid communication with the seed conduit, the seed guide defining a second portion of the flow path configured to transport the seeds from the seed conduit towards the ground, and a shaft configured to reciprocate with respect to the seed guide through a stroke path towards and away from the ground. The shaft is configured to create a discrete hole in the ground for one of the seeds. A side of the shaft is configured to inhibit the one of the seeds from entering the second portion of the flow path until the shaft retracts past the aperture.

Digging machine having a body with an at least partially hollow interior and one or more odd-shaped wheels attached to the body, one or more motors disposed inside the body, and each motor can be configured to independently power one of the one or more odd-shaped wheels, where each of the one or more odd-shaped wheels include one or more digging members.
