TRACTOR WORK EQUIPMENT LINKAGE
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).
METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A THREE-POINT HITCH
A method for controlling a three-point hitch, having left and right lower linkages with each pivotably linked to a tractor-side support structure in a first end region and each having a coupling element for attaching accessory equipment in a second end region, includes pivoting the lower linkages via a lifting mechanism which lifts and lowers the coupling elements with respect to the ground, and activating the lifting mechanism in a cleaning mode via a control unit such that an acceleration pulse directed towards the ground is produced in the region of the coupling elements by interrupting a short-stroke lowering movement generated at the lower linkages.
Vehicle attachment carrier loading guidance
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.
Working vehicle
A working vehicle includes a traveling vehicle body, a linking device capable of linking a working device to the traveling vehicle body, a sensor provided on the working device to monitor at least a surrounding area of the working device provided on the working device, and a controller to perform control relating to automatic operation of the traveling vehicle body based on a planned travel route and monitored information obtained by the sensor. The controller is configured or programmed to include an automatic operation controller to determine the automatic operation to be performed if the monitored information contains no obstacles and to determine the automatic operation not to be performed if the monitored information contains an obstacle.
Outdoor power equipment vehicle adapted for performing work operations on turf surfaces
A vehicle combining the attributes of a tractor and a utility vehicle includes a three point linkage and other locations to which a plurality of attachments for performing grooming or working operations on a ground or turf surface may be couple. The vehicle includes a front mounted engine, a mid-mounted operator compartment and a rear mounted bed or box. A PTO shaft and/or a hydraulic power system of the vehicle power attachments that require power. A control system and a visual display and data entry device linked thereto are provided for allowing an authorized person to setup, store and thereafter use an operational profile for each attachment that is to be coupled to the vehicle. In a rate dependent attachment, the control system maintains the ground speed and the attachment implement in a fixed ratio. A down/up control is used to signal the start and end of an operational sequence to the control system.

Adjustable End Stop
An adjustable end stop comprises a body having a cavity fluidly connected to a port fitted with a grease nipple. A piston has a first end slidably mounted in the cavity and moveable between a retracted position and an extended position. Filling the cavity with a flowable filling material such as grease via the grease nipple causes the piston to move towards the extended position to adjust the overall height of the end stop. The end stop is suitable for use in limiting sway of a draft link of a three-point hitch.
