A break-away apparatus for a boom arm is positioned at a joint between a main boom and a boom tip to allow the boom tip to assume a neutral position and forward, rearward, and upward positions. A hinge assembly is positioned between the boom tip and main boom. The hinge assembly includes an upper ball joint, a first hinge, and a second hinge. The boom tip is movable relative to the main boom about an axis of the first hinge, about an axis of the second hinge axis, and/or about a pivot defined by the upper ball joint. A first spring assists a return of the boom tip to the neutral position.

A ride-on spreader/sprayer including a hopper configured to receive expel dry material, a user platform configured to receive and support a user of the ride-on spreader/sprayer, a fluid storage tank providing a fluid storage volume and including an inlet for adding fluid to the fluid storage volume, an exit by which the fluid exits the fluid storage volume, a first fluid passage, and a drain channel defining a second fluid passage separate from the first fluid passage, wherein the fluid may reach the exit through at least one of the first fluid passage and the second fluid passage, a pump fluidly coupled to the exit of the fluid storage tank, and multiple spray nozzles fluidly coupled to the pump.

In one embodiment, a hydroseeder has an integrated bale grinder. The hydroseeder includes a tank, an agitator, a plurality of grinding flights, and a basket. The tank includes an opening and is configured to hold a material slurry. The agitator is positioned below the opening and is configured to agitate the material slurry. The plurality of grinding flights extends from the agitator and is configured to grind a material bale as it is introduced into the tank. The basket extends from the opening of the tank and is configured to direct the material bale toward the plurality of grinding flights.

A system and method for applying hydro-mulch and hydro-seed products stored underground through an irrigation system includes a first irrigation system, a second irrigation system, and a storage tank at least partially located underground, the storage tank being in fluid connection with the second irrigation system, wherein the storage tank is configured for storing and supplying the hydro-mulch and hydro-seed products to the second irrigation system.

A work vehicle has display devices and cameras coupled to display feeds at display areas. The cameras include a first set on the first side, second side, and central location relative to the first FOV and a second set on a first side, second side, and central location relative to the second FOV. A control system is configured to: in a first mode, display a first set of feeds from the first side, second side, and central location of the display areas so that the feeds are arranged at the first side, second side, and central location relative to the first FOV; and in a second mode, display a second set of feeds from the first side, second side, and central location of the second set at display areas so that the feeds are arranged at the first side, second side, and central location relative to the second FOV.

A product applicator system for dispensing various products onto a ground surface is provided. The system provides an assembly of a protective tube and applicator that protects the product as it travels from the boom to the ground surface. The assembly may include a swivel connection facilitating a rotational movement of the hose assembly to the supporting boom. The protective tube assembly is designed with bending properties that enable the applicator to self-center itself during use.

Wind speed, wind direction, and field boundary information are detected and used to identify a monitor area indicative of a likely overspray condition. Control signals are generated to obtain information from a sprayed substance sensor, in the monitor area. When an overspray condition is detected, an overspraying signal from the sprayed substance sensor indicating the detected overspray condition is received and overspray processing is performed, based upon the received overspray signal.

An applicator for applying anhydrous ammonia, NH3, to an agricultural field includes a distribution rail for receiving and out letting a flow of the NH3. The distribution rail has a decreasing inner diameter from an inlet of the distribution rail to distal ends of the distribution rail.

A traveling vehicle includes a controller to control a posture of a work machine via a connector. The controller observes whether a farm field surface on which the traveling vehicle travels and the work machine maintain a predetermined positional relationship therebetween, and controls the posture of the work machine when a positional relationship between the farm field surface and the work machine changes from the predetermined positional relationship, so that the positional relationship thus changed is reset to the predetermined positional relationship.

A break-away apparatus for a boom arm is positioned at a joint between a main boom portion and a boom tip to allow the boom tip to assume a neutral position and forward, rearward, and upward positions. First and second plates are disposed at the joint and a hinge assembly is positioned between the first and second plates. The hinge assembly includes a first ball joint, a first hinge pin, and a second hinge pin. The first and second plates are in a first position when the boom tip assumes the neutral position, and the first and second plates are movable with respect to each other about the first hinge axis, the second hinge axis, and a pivot point defined by the first ball joint. A first spring assists a return of the first and second plates to the first position.
