A combination is made up of a tractor and a seeder suitable for direct drilling mounted on a three-point hitch of the tractor. The seeder has a crossbeam that is connected to the three-point hitch and on which a plurality of sowing units are arranged laterally in succession. The sowing units, each equipped with at least one furrow opener, are respectively prestressed downward in relation to the crossbeam by an actuator, and the three-point hitch can be self-locked in relation to a chassis of the tractor. During the sowing operation, the pressing forces for the furrow openers are therefore introduced via the sowing units, the actuator, the crossbeam and the three-point hitch into the chassis of the tractor.

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 method and apparatus for attaching a forward-mounted implement that may allow pivotal movement of the implement around a longitudinal axis to better maintain proper operational height when operating on uneven or sloped terrain. Further provided, the attachment mechanism of the present disclosure may allow for a secure and safe attachment to an associated tractor or other similar vehicle while simultaneously providing for a reduced production cost and less maintenance requirements.

Systems and implements sense, analyze, and display different soil parameters. A soil sensing system includes a mechanical component of an agricultural implement and at least one sensor disposed on the mechanical component. The sensor generates an electromagnetic field through a region of soil as the agricultural implement traverses a field. The sensor comprises at least one radar transmitter and at least one radar receiver and the sensor measures different soil parameters including a soil dielectric constant.

In order to know the loads acting on the boom, the load measuring unit, in particular only one, is either on or in the boom, in particular fixed, or between the arm end of the boom and the head end of the working head facing it.

Embodiments herein relate to a dynamic counterbalance system for a ground-working machine having vehicle ground-engaging rotatable members configured to contact a ground surface, working assemblies, and connection assemblies, wherein each connection assembly attaches one working assembly to the vehicle. Each connection assembly is configured to apply a counterbalance pressure to the one working assembly, wherein the counterbalance pressure shifts weight from the working assembly ground-engaging rotatable members to the vehicle ground-engaging rotatable members based in output from a slope sensor, wherein the working assembly ground-engaging rotatable members remain in contact with a ground surface while the determined counterbalance pressure of the determined counterbalance value is applied to the particular working assembly.

An agricultural machine is coupled to a tractor vehicle and includes a work unit connected to a chassis relative to which the work unit can be moved, the machine being able to take up a work configuration and a transport configuration. The machine includes a lightening device having a lightening cylinder connected to the chassis by a flexible compression tie-rod on one side and to the work unit at a front articulation on the other side, the lightening cylinder being able to transfer, in the work configuration, some of the weight of the work unit onto the chassis, the flexible compression tie-rod being attached with the lightening cylinder at an anchoring point and with the chassis at a fastening point, a deflection system making it possible to move the lightening cylinder by pivoting the anchoring point about the front articulation so as to move it away from the midplane.
