Construction machine
Lever neutrality is determined by whether or not operation levers are at a neutral position based on operation signals from operation levers. Pilot pressures are computed based on the operation signals from the operation levers; and pilot pressure signals are converted to current signals. A current interruption controller controls interruption and communication of the current signals to the solenoid proportional valves; and an operating condition is determined by determining whether a construction machine is in a manual operation state or a semiautomatic operation state. At least one hydraulic actuator is controlled to assist the operation of the operator, and when it is determined that the construction machine is in the semiautomatic operation state, the current interruption controller interrupts the current signals to all of the solenoid proportional valves only when it is determined that all the operation levers are at the neutral position.
AGRICULTURAL BALER WITH HYDRAULIC FLOW CONTROLLER
A hydraulic system for an agricultural baler includes: a hydraulic motor; a hydraulically driven component fluidly coupled to the hydraulic motor such that fluid flow between the hydraulic motor and the hydraulically driven component causes the hydraulically driven component to move between a first position and a second position; a flow sensor associated with the hydraulically driven component; and a controller operatively coupled to the flow sensor and the hydraulic motor. The controller is configured to: enter a learning mode to learn a driven movement of the hydraulically driven component from the first position to the second position; determine fluid flow between the hydraulic motor and the hydraulically driven component during the driven movement while in the learning mode; associate the determined fluid flow with the driven movement; and output control signals to the hydraulic motor to reproduce the associated fluid flow and reproduce the driven movement.

System and method for remotely controlling hydraulic components of an agricultural implement
A system for remotely controlling hydraulic component of an agricultural implement towed by a work vehicle may include a vehicle-based valve assembly that selectively supplies hydraulic fluid to one or more supply lines of the implement. Specifically, a first supply line may be fluidly coupled to an implement-based valve assembly that regulates the supply of hydraulic fluid to a hydraulic actuator through a first actuator line. A second supply line may be fluidly coupled to the first actuator line downstream of the implement-based valve assembly such that when a user provides a control input at a remote interface, the vehicle-based valve assembly may instead regulate the supply of hydraulic fluid to the actuator. The supply of the hydraulic fluid through the supply lines may additionally be controlled by first and second override valves fluidly coupled to the first and second supply lines, respectively.
