Techniques for implementing a pipe transport system. The pipe transport system includes a tow vehicle that moves a pipe trailer on which a pipe segment is loaded, in which the pipe segment includes tubing that defines a pipe bore and a fluid conduit implemented in an annulus of the tubing, and the tow vehicle includes a ripper assembly having a ripper shank. Additionally, the pipe transport system includes a hitch assembly to be secured to the ripper shank of the tow vehicle to enable the tow vehicle to be coupled to a trailer coupler of a tongue assembly implemented on the pipe trailer.

A robotic vehicle for moving above ground while fabricating a subsurface polymer layer to protect an underground structure is provided. The robotic vehicle includes: a body; a rotational member that contacts the ground and moves the body over the ground; a ripper assembly having a proximal end that moves with the body, and a distal end that moves underground at a fabrication depth in response to the movement of the proximal end while fabricating the polymer layer; a ground penetrating radar (GPR) that locates and measures a depth of the underground structure below the ground; and a computerized control system that controls the rotational member, the distal end of the ripper assembly, and the GPR to move the body over the located underground structure while tracking the location of the underground structure and fabricating the polymer layer at the fabrication depth and above the measured depth of the underground structure.

A carriage for a scarifier system of a machine includes a body portion having a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a first height. The body portion includes a first surface and a second surface spaced apart from the first surface, such that the first height of the body portion is defined between the first surface and the second surface. The body portion further includes a first side surface connecting the first surface and the leading edge. The body portion includes a second side surface connecting the second surface and the leading edge. At least one of the first side surface and the second side surface includes a beveled profile. The carriage also includes a plurality of shank attachment portions fixedly coupled to the body portion. Each shank attachment portion extends from the second surface of the body portion. Each shank attachment portion defines a second height.

With a ripper point attachment structure, a pin member is inserted into a first pin hole formed in a ripper shank and a second pin hole formed in a ripper point. A locking member is engaged with the pin member to prevent the pin member from coming loose. The ripper point includes an opening, an internal space and a guide groove. The opening is formed at a rear end. The internal space is formed from the opening toward a distal end surface. The guide groove is formed in a predetermined range from the rear end toward the distal end surface in a portion of an inner surface forming the internal space. A second pin hole of the ripper point is disposed on a bottom surface of the guide groove. The locking member is disposed in a space forming the guide groove.

An auxiliary hydraulic manifold for connecting different implements to a work vehicle for hydraulic control may include a housing, a plurality of vehicle-side ports in the housing including a first vehicle-side port, and a plurality of implement-side ports in the housing including a first implement-side port fluidly coupled to the first vehicle-side port and a second implement-side port fluidly coupled to the first vehicle-side port. A number of the plurality of implement-side ports is greater than a number of the plurality of vehicle-side ports. Additionally, the auxiliary hydraulic manifold may include a pilot-operated check valve fluidly coupled between the first vehicle-side port and the first implement-side port.

A controller includes one or more memories and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to receive an input image. The input image contains a first pictorial view that includes a work implement of a work machine. The one or more processors are also configured to generate an output image containing a second pictorial view and an indication element superimposed on the second pictorial view. The second pictorial view is at least in part derived from the first pictorial view and includes the work implement. The indication element includes at least one reference line. An alignment of one or more portions of the work implement with the at least one reference line indicates that the one or more portions of the work implement are positioned at a desired height from a ground surface.
