A recovery tool configured to attach to the rear or front a vehicle with a receiver hitch class III and up to provide interconnect and control between the vehicle and various accessory tools necessary to perform lift, drag, tow and pull using the vehicle. The recovery tool has a head gear connected to a hitch attachment where the hitch attachment connects the recovery tool to the vehicle. The recovery tool has lights for signaling, work lights, and other uses. The recovery tool can be controlled by a wireless controller. The recovery tool is adaptable to three-point tractor implement. The recovery tool may further include a hydraulic unit and can endure heavy mechanical work to perform dragging snow or dirt, road cleaning, driveway scraping, towing and recovery, search and rescue operation, pull boat docks and launch boats, dragging logs or broken articles as well as jump start truck or car.

A hitch adaptor for an agricultural tractor that can be mounted to a tractor rear linkage, for subsequent connection to an implement for mounting to the tractor. The hitch adaptor has two frame elements which are vertically moveable relative to each other, so that a mounted implement can be vertically displaced without movement of the tractor rear linkage, and maintain the vertical alignment of the implement.

An adjustable width quick hitch assembly for an agricultural vehicle. The quick hitch assembly is provided with spacer elements which can be incorporated into the assembly as required, where the selection and positioning of the spacer elements results in an assembled quick hitch having various hitch widths.

An automatic control system moves a vehicle so that it can be coupled to an implement. The vehicle has propulsion and steering controls which respond to electronic input signals. A visual target is mounted on the implement. Vehicle mounted cameras generate images of the target. A motion control unit receives and processes the images, and generates vehicle movement commands as a function of the images which are communicated to the propulsion and steering controls. The motion control unit includes a perception engine connected to the cameras, a controller connected to the perception engine, and a vehicle/operator interface which is connected to the controller, and to the propulsion and steering controls. The perception engine captures images from the cameras, un-distorts the images, and searches for the target. If the target is found, the perception engine recovers vehicle posture information and transmits said information to the controller.

A tractor linkage arrangement (10) to attach work equipment (20) to a tractor comprising a subframe (100), which is to be attached to a tractor chassis (11), comprising a first (103), a second (104), a third (105) and a fourth fixing point (106), a first support (101) comprising a first and a second spindle opening (107, 108), and a second support (102) comprising a third and a fourth spindle opening (109, 110), further comprising a first lifting arm (140), which is pivotally attached from its first end to the first support (101), a second lifting arm (141), which is pivotally attached from its first end to the second support (102), wherein the first lifting arm (140) is comprising a first lifting pin (142) on one side of the first lifting arm (140) and first gripping pin (144) on the other side of the first lifting arm (140), and wherein the second lifting arm (141) is comprising a second lifting pin (143) on one side of the second lifting arm (141) and a second gripping pin (145) on the other side of the second lifting arm (141), and a work equipment adapter (120), which is to be attached to a work equipment (20), the work equipment adapter comprising a first link arm (121) and a second link arm (122), a first, a second, a third and a fourth spindle opening (123, 124, 125, 126), wherein the first link arm (121) comprises a first grab (129) and the second link arm (122) comprises a second grab (130), wherein the first gripping pin (144) is to be fitted to the first grab (129) and the second gripping pin (145) is to be fitted to second grab (130).

Device for coupling two shafts end-to-end, comprising a pair of dog clutch members (16, 28). Each dog clutch member is configured so as to be able to be secured to an end of a shaft to be coupled, and the two dog clutch members (16, 28) have complementary shapes. A first dog clutch member (16) is pivotably mounted in a first casing (6). A second dog clutch member (28) is pivotably mounted in an intermediate bearing (8). The intermediate bearing (8) is slidably mounted in a second casing (10) assumed to be fixed, the intermediate bearing (8) being able to slide relative to the second casing (10) in a direction parallel to the two shafts to be coupled, termed the longitudinal direction. The intermediate bearing (8) is elastically prestressed in the direction of the first casing (6).

A working vehicle comprises a vehicle body, a quick hitch, a working implement connected to the vehicle body via the quick hitch, and a linkage interposed between the quick hitch and the vehicle body. The linkage is movable to raise and lower the quick hitch so as to locate the quick hitch at an optional height. The quick hitch can be inclined to a certain degree in a pitching direction of the vehicle body at the optional height defined by the linkage.

A harvester may include a feeder house, a header mount interface proximate the feeder house; a header removably mounted to the feeder house by the header mount interface, the header having a mount interface for securing the header to a trailer; a sensor to output steering angle signals indicative of a steering angle of the harvester during an approach of the harvester carrying the header towards the trailer, and a controller to output control signals causing the display to overlay a representation of the mount interface on a real-time view of the approach.

A method for assisting a coupling procedure at an agricultural implement interface includes determining via a control unit whether a set-down procedure associated with unhitching the implement is being executed, determining cartographically via the control unit in communication with a position detection unit a set-down location of the implement and a driving trajectory travelled by the agricultural tractor from the set-down location along a defined route, storing via the control unit the set-down location and the driving trajectory as an associated dataset in a memory unit together with type information about the implement provided by an information unit, retrieving via the control unit the associated dataset to re-hitch the implement, and guiding via the control unit the agricultural tractor back from a defined start position along the driving trajectory to the set-down location by issuing associated control commands.

The adjustable hitch assembly of the present invention is mounted to the 3 point hitch system or quick attach frame on the rear of a tractor, and allows equipment, tools and implements to be hitched thereto. The hitch assembly includes a frame for mounting to the tractor, a carriage slidably mounted to the frame, and a hitch plate extending rearwardly from the carriage. The hitch assembly also includes an actuator for adjusting the lateral position of the hitch plate relative to the tractor. The actuator is coupled to the hydraulic system of the tractor. The actuator can be controlled remotely from the cab of the tractor.
