A spray system for an agricultural machine is configured to include a valving arrangement and multiple liquid product lines coupled to spray nozzle assemblies such that the valving arrangement can connect the product lines to the spray nozzle assemblies in different ways to achieve different modes of operation. Such modes can include providing agricultural liquid product flow through the spray nozzle assemblies at differing rates and/or flushing the product through the spray nozzle assemblies in differing directions. This can be achieved by controlling the valving arrangement to selectively connect any of the lines to pump for supplying product, to tank for returning product, or to block the lines to inhibit the flow of product. In one aspect, the product multiple lines can be of different sizes to enable more modes of operation, such as greater or lesser flow rates while spraying.

A liquid manure spreader includes a spreader vehicle, a transversely extending injector boom having at least one outer boom section pivotable between a transversely-oriented position and a vertically-oriented position, at least one first actuatable linkage assembly for translating the boom vertically between a lowered working position and a raised position, and at least one second actuatable linkage assembly for arcuately pivoting the boom about an axis parallel to the transverse axis between a highest vertical height position and a lower transport position when the boom is in the raised position and the at least one outer boom section is in the vertically-oriented position.

A system for handling a fluid includes a container for separating the fluid into a liquid and a vapor such that at least a portion of the vapor is disposed above the liquid. The system also includes at least one valve for releasing the vapor from the container, at least one sensor to detect a level of the liquid in the container, and a controller in communicatively coupled to the at least one valve and the at least one sensor. The controller is configured to control the at least one valve to release the vapor such that the liquid level is maintained at or above a desired liquid level. The controller is configured to determine diagnostic data based at least in part on signals received from the least one valve and the at least one sensor.

A container system for transporting and dispensing agricultural products. The container system includes a housing assembly and a set of agricultural product containers. The housing assembly has multiple slot assemblies for containers. The agricultural product containers are configured to be releasably contained within the slot assemblies. The set of agricultural product containers may include liquid agricultural product containers and dry agricultural product containers. The slot assemblies and agricultural product containers are cooperatively configured to provide the ability to utilize either of the agricultural product containers within the slot assemblies.

A hose reel apparatus has a frame and a drum rotatably attached on the frame for receiving a hose wound thereon. A drive system and brake assembly are attached on the frame operatively engaged with the drum. An indexer is slidably mounted on a guide rail on the frame having a channel for receiving the hose and adjacent clamp arms which are selectively operable to clamp the hose.

A modular meter roller for an agricultural metering system. The modular meter roller includes a shaft that rotates. A first roller segment that defines a first aperture that receives the shaft. The first roller segment receives and meters flowable particulate material in a groove via rotation of the shaft. A first end plate couples to the shaft. The first end plate blocks removal of the first roller segment in a first axial direction. A second end plate removably couples to the shaft. The second end plate enables an exchange of the first roller segment with a second roller segment and blocks removal of the first roller segment in a second axial direction during operation of the modular meter roller.

An equipment skid is aligned on the frame of an agricultural product applicator defining substantially mutually perpendicular fore-aft, transverse and vertical axes of the frame, by utilizing an alignment system having a vertically extending frame mounting surface defined by the frame, and a vertically extending skid mounting surface defined by the skid. The frame and skid mounting surfaces are adapted for mating connection with one another to substantially align the skid with the frame along a substantially vertical mounting plane. A pair of laterally-spaced, juxtaposed, vertically extending skid alignment features are defined by the frame mounting surface, and a skid-mounted alignment block extending from the skid mounting surface is adapted for insertion between and into operative engagement with the pair of skid alignment features for aligning the skid with the frame on the vertical mounting plane.

The tree planting machine includes a vehicle main unit, a washing water tank, a planting device, a washing water circuit, and a controller. The washing water tank is attached to the vehicle main body and holds water. The planting device is disposed on the vehicle main unit. The washing water circuit connects the washing water tank and the planting devices. The controller controls the washing water circuit so as to supply the water from the washing water tank to the planting devices.

An operator can interact with a user interface to input tire configuration information for a tires installed on an agricultural machine so that a control system of the machine can accurately apply information about the tires to display calculated parameters and/or control machine functions. In one aspect, the input could correspond to custom information for tires which the controller could use to derive tire dimensions, such as a rolling circumference of the tire, for calculating parameters. In another aspect, the input could correspond to a selection among several predetermined tire configurations. The controller can then apply the tire dimension to calculate one or more parameters, such as speed and/or distance traveled, for display, and/or to control various machine functions, such as an agricultural product application rate, steering, driveline and/or suspension control.

A modular meter roller for an agricultural metering system. The modular meter roller system includes a modular shaft that rotates. The modular shaft includes a first shaft section. The first shaft section includes a first shaft portion. The first shaft portion supports a first roller segment. A second shaft portion couples to the first shaft portion. A second shaft section supports a second roller segment. The second shaft section defines an aperture. The second shaft section couples to the second shaft portion by sliding over the second shaft portion. An end cap couples to the second shaft section. The end cap couples a first end plate to the modular shaft.
