A system for detecting simultaneous disk plugging on a tillage implement includes a plurality of disks supported by the frame of the implement. Additionally, the system includes a plurality of load sensors each being configured to generate data indicative of the draft load being applied to the frame by one or more of the disks. Moreover, the system includes a computing system communicatively coupled to the load sensors. The computing system is configured to determine the plurality of draft loads based on the load sensor data. Furthermore, the computing system is configured to determine the total draft load being applied to the frame based on the determined plurality of draft loads. Moreover, the computing system is configured to determine when the majority of the disks are simultaneously plugged based on the determined total draft load.

An example control system includes: a source of fluid; a cylinder actuator having: (i) cylinder, and (ii) a piston movable within the cylinder and dividing an internal space of the cylinder into a first chamber and a second chamber; a pressure control valve; a pilot-operated valve having a pilot port that is fluidly coupled to the source; and a proportional control valve configured to fluidly couple the source of fluid to the second chamber.

A tillage implement includes a frame and a disk gang supported on the frame, with the disk gang having a disk gang shaft and a plurality of disks spaced apart from each other along the disk gang shaft. Furthermore, the tillage implement includes a load sensor configured to generate data indicative of a load being applied to the disk gang and a computing system communicatively coupled to the load sensor. In this respect, the computing system is configured to monitor the load being applied to the disk gang based on the data generated by the load sensor. Additionally, the computing system is configured to determine a number of times that the monitored load crosses a baseline load value during a given time interval. Moreover, the computing system is configured to determine when the disk gang is plugged based on the determined number of times.

A rear module, as illustrated with tanks, seed blowers, and transfer pump for fertilizer is mounted on the existing design frame, axle, and steering system; but it is a separate, distinct module. The planting module and the harvesting module must be disconnected from the common front module power unit and switched for planting row crops or harvesting. The harvesting configuration can have an attachment to the header to seed non row crops, such as, a cover crop like rye or canola. Such rear module can be the rear unit of an articulated vehicle, such as a harvester.

A representative system for preparing a field for planting includes: first disk blades, each exhibiting a first offset angle with respect to a tilling direction; second blades, each exhibiting a second offset angle with respect to the tilling direction; ripper shanks disposed behind the second disk blades; third disk blades disposed behind the ripper shanks, each exhibiting a third offset angle with respect to the tilling direction; fourth disk blades, each exhibiting a fourth offset angle with respect to the tilling direction; and a chopper reel disposed behind the fourth disk blades; wherein, with respect to magnitude, each of the first offset angle and the second offset angle is greater than each of the third offset angle and the fourth offset angle.

A machine that allows for processing the plant as much as the area where the plant requires and makes the seed bed ready for planting at once and in a single process, for plants planted in the range of 45-70 cm, such as corn, cotton, beet, sunflower, and beans in agricultural areas.

An agricultural working machine is provided in the form of a soil tillage machine designed as a soil tiller. A shaft is provided with at least one tool, the rotation axis of which extends in operation at an angle to the direction of travel and at least substantially parallel to the ground. A housing is arranged on a frame of the working machine at least in sections above the shaft, and has an inner wall delimiting a channel between the shaft and the housing. The housing has a front and a rear, movable housing part with respect to the direction of travel, with respective inner wall parts which each extend along the shaft and which each have at least two adjustable, different operating positions in which the respective inner wall parts of the housing parts are positioned differently to the shaft.

In a tillage implement for being towed by an agricultural tractor across ground to be towed and having a main frame supporting a plurality of tillage units thereon in which each tillage unit includes a disc supporting arm mounted on the main frame, disc mounting assemblies support respective tillage discs on the disc supporting arms. Each assembly includes a mounting body forming a socket therein and a shaft partly received within the socket so as to support a tillage disc on a hub rotatable on a portion of the shaft protruding from the mounting body. The shaft includes a tapered shaft section received within a tapered socket section in the socket of the mounting body to securely and releasably mount the shaft relative to the mounting body.
