A land leveller includes a vehicle frame and a swing frame. The swing frame include a supporting beam assembly and connecting parts, the supporting beam assembly include multiple beam members, and the multiple beam members are connected sequentially at end parts, such that the multiple beam members form a closed shape. The connecting part is arranged at the connecting end part between two adjacent beam members. At least one connecting part is rotatably connected with the vehicle frame, and at least another connecting part is rotatably connected with a driving part.

A ditch cutting and excavation spoil removal apparatus creates ditches and land contours while simultaneously removing excavation spoil from the banks of newly created ditches. The apparatus includes an excavation spoil collection box and an adjustable plow saddle that supports a plowshare. The spoil collection box has a vertically adjustable rectangular frame with an open front and bottom. The pivotally mounted plow saddle may be tilted upward and downward through the bottom of the excavation box frame for adjustment of the plowshare and, correspondingly, the depth of the ditch being cut. Excavation spoil is collected in the spoil collection box as the apparatus is moved along the ground surface and is removed by raising the spoil collection box.

Surface-formation equipment includes a blade including a beam; and an attachment structure having a proximal end connected to the blade and a distal end configured to be attached to a mobile unit. The surface-formation equipment may also include a blade including a beam; and at least one lateral wing pivot-connected to one end of the main section, the at least one lateral wing being able to be configured in an unfolded configuration and at least one folded position. The surface-formation equipment may include a cutting edge secured to the beam near the lower surface.

A box blade earth grading implement incorporating a blade; a left wall having upper and lower segments, the lower segment having a lower end, and the upper segment being attached to the left end of the blade; a right wall having upper and lower segments, the lower segment having a lower end, and the upper segment being attached to the right end of the blade; left and right skid plates attached to the lower ends of the lower wall segments; left and right hydraulic cylinders having left and right upper mounts attaching to the walls' upper segments; left and right pivot mounts attaching the lower ends of the left and right hydraulic cylinders to the left and right skid plates; and a towing tongue extending forwardly from the blade.

A convertible box blade scraper apparatus includes a frame assembly including a first sidewall, a second sidewall, one or more shank support cross-members, a first blade support cross-member having a first scraper blade secured thereto, a second blade support cross-member extending between and secured to the first sidewall and the second sidewall, and having a second scraper blade and a leveling blade secured thereto, and a moldboard support cross-member, the moldboard support cross-member having a moldboard support longitudinal center axis. The apparatus further includes an elongated moldboard having an arc-shaped front surface that extends between a moldboard top edge and a moldboard bottom edge, the moldboard including one or more pivot arms rotatably coupled to the moldboard support cross-member to provide the moldboard with a pivot axis, wherein the pivot axis is coincident with the moldboard support longitudinal center axis, and further including a hitch assembly.

Systems and methods of adapting a work machine to operate a plurality of interchangeable work tools. Systems according to the disclosure employ interchangeable joystick controllers, each having different configurations optimized to the operator and/or the particular operating parameters and/or requirements of the selected work tool. Each of the joysticks has a standardized mechanical and/or electrical connection for attachment to the work machine via a standardized base. The base receives control communications from the selected/paired joystick and is configured to adapt the control communications to a standardized signal format such that the work machine operates the work tool according to inputs from the selected joystick.

A work vehicle with a chassis, a ground-engaging blade movably coupled to the chassis via a ball and socket assembly to allow the blade to pivot relative to the chassis. The ball and socket assembly comprises a semi-spherical socket with at least a first circular groove on a surface of the socket positioned coaxially with a centerline axis of the semi-spherical socket, a second circular groove concentric and spaced apart from the first circular groove along the surface of the socket, and at least two interconnecting grooves coupling the circular groove and the second circular groove; and a ball member disposed within the socket.

A system configured to be mounted to a vehicle for adjusting a position of an implement during an autonomous operation being performed by the vehicle. For example, the vehicle may monitor a height, slope angle, and/or load of an implement during an operation and adjust one or more parameters associated with the implement to achieve a desired finishing profile.

An arm control system for a work vehicle includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of a type of implement coupled to an arm of the work vehicle. The controller is also configured to enable movement of the arm between a lowered position and a raised position while the type of implement is an unrestricted-height implement. In addition, the controller is configured to enable movement of the arm between the lowered position and an intermediate position and to block upward movement of the arm beyond the intermediate position while the type of implement is a restricted-height implement.
