An agricultural work system and a method for operating an agricultural work system are disclosed. The agricultural work system performs an agricultural work process and includes an agricultural production machine having at least two axles with at least one device interface and an attachment, which is connected via the device interface to the agricultural production machine. An axle load on at least one axle is determined using a sensor assembly, with the axle loads occurring or happening on axles of the agricultural production machine. An axle load ratio based thereon is cyclically determined using the computer unit of the driver assistance system of the agricultural production machine, coupled in time to the execution of the work process, with the driver assistance system taking into account the agricultural production machine and attachment configuration and operating parameters.

An agricultural work system and a method for operating an agricultural work system is disclosed. The agricultural work system comprises an agricultural production machine having two axles, a power lifter, and a driver assistance system, and an attachment connected to the agricultural production machine using the power lifter. The driver assistance system optimizes operation of the agricultural production machine by determining an axle load on at least one of the axles. Further, actual data records coupled in time to the execution of an agricultural work process are cyclically determined by the driver assistance system to automatically adjust the power lifter. In particular, an axle load ratio currently at the axles is determined as an actual data record and, using at least one additional actual data record to be determined, the driver assistance system automatically generates instructions to actuate the power lifter while simultaneously accounting for mutually influencing optimization target variables.

A work vehicle to travel along a travel route includes a vehicle body, an inclination sensor, a calculator, an information generator, and a recorder. The inclination sensor is provided on the vehicle body to detect a vehicle body inclination angle with respect to a horizontal line. The calculator is to calculate a position of the work vehicle in a work field based on positioning data. The information generator is to output travel limit information at an inclination position on the travel route where the vehicle body inclination angle detected by the inclination sensor exceeds a threshold angle. The recorder is to record, as an inclined area, an area around the inclination position which is calculated based on the positioning data.

A subsoil tool for ameliorating soil compaction having a shank attached to a toolbar of a tractor, wings on forward wing links pivotally engaged to the shank, and following wings on a wing rod pivotally engaged with the forward wing link. The forward wing links are positioned near the bottom of the shank in front of the rear of the shank. The wing rod is positioned behind the shank. A drive box having a hydraulic cylinder is engaged to the toolbar and pivotally engaged with the wing rod. In use, a portion of the subsoil tool may be inserted below a surface of the soil, the height of the subsoil tool may be adjusted, the subsoil tool may be rotated, and the hydraulic cylinder may be cycled to move the forward wings and following wings.

A hydraulic circuit with electronic latching through valve assemblies to allow full control of ground engaging tools including raising, lowering, and providing regulated active down force pressure via a work vehicle valves with manual input while allowing a continuous pressure source to be used in parallel. Pressure transducers and electrically controlled valves along with an electric control circuit allow automatic switching between manual control and automatic control of the ground engaging tools.

A slip control system for an off-road vehicle includes a control system configured to output a signal indicative of a first action if a magnitude of slippage of the off-road vehicle relative to a soil surface is greater than a first threshold value and less than or equal to a second threshold value. Furthermore, the control system is configured to output a signal indicative of a second action, different than the first action, if the magnitude of slippage is greater than the second threshold value.

A removably installable apparatus and system for managing weight transfer along a tractor drawn tool bar for use in row planting systems is provided. The planter weight transfer system comprises first and second bolt-on bracket assemblies, each bolt-on bracket assembly comprising a primary plate and a secondary plate secured to each other and to a row planter tool bar by a set of fasteners. Additionally, the bolt-on brackets are joined at the top by an actuator which applies a force on the brackets.
