SYSTEM FOR MOVING DISTRIBUTION LINES OF A PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
An agricultural implement includes a frame including a center section and a first wing section and a second wing section flanking the center section. The first wing section and the second wing section are configured to move relative to the center section during transitions between a folded position and an unfolded position. The agricultural implement includes a first rigid tube assembly disposed on the center section having a first set of rigid tubes and a second set of rigid tubes, a second rigid tube assembly disposed on the first wing section, and a third rigid tube assembly disposed on the second wing section. The agricultural implement includes a structural support configured to enable movement of the first set of rigid tubes and the second set of rigid tubes relative to the center section and each other during the transitions between the folded position and the unfolded position.
Agricultural haymaking implement with operating elements movable between an operating position and a transport position
An agricultural implement having a main chassis member having a support structure with support arms connected to the support structure for movement between a working position and a transport position, the support arms being provided with operating elements remote from the support structure, the support structure defining a working width between the operating elements and the main chassis member, and the support arms being adjustable in the working position between a length corresponding to minimum working width and a length greater than the minimum working width. In the transport position a distance between the operating elements and the main chassis member is less than the minimum working width. In a headland position the support arms are adjustable such that a distance between the operating elements and the main chassis member is less than the minimum working width.
Agricultural implement
An agricultural implement includes a first central implement section. At least one second implement section is positioned on each of two sides of the first implement section. Adjacent implement sections are each displaceable relative to one another about a pivot axis in order to displace the implement between a transport position and a working position. Each implement section comprises mowing mechanisms, conveying mechanisms or both. A hat-like conveying element made from an elastically deformable material is positioned on at least one of the mowing mechanisms, on at least one of the conveying mechanisms or both.
TILLAGE APPARATUSES AND RELATED METHODS
An apparatus, which may be a tillage apparatus, is disclosed that may have a flexible frame. The frame may be made from open members. The frame may support ground engagers and may be supported on wheel assemblies. The ground engagers may be connected to a spring trip mechanism. The ground engagers may be mounted to open members of the frame with a clamping style mechanism. The clamp mechanism may include wedge devices. The frame may be lowered and raised relative to wheels of the wheel assemblies with a lift mechanism. One row of ground engagers may be raised or lowered relative to the frame independent of another row of ground engagers. An anti-skid or skew control system may be employed in association with the independent height adjustment of one row of ground engagers. A system may be provided to maintain and control the height of a tow hitch forming part of the apparatus.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FOR FLEX WING RIPPER STRIPPER
A hydraulic system for a farm implement having wings is provided. The hydraulic system includes a wing elevation circuit operable to lower or raise the wings of the farm implement and a wing folding circuit operable to fold or unfold the wings of the farm implement. The wing elevation circuit is operable to raise or lower the wings of the farm implement. The hydraulic system further includes a hydraulic valve block assembly in communication with the wing elevation circuit and the wing folding circuit, in which the hydraulic valve block assembly is operable to control a flow of a hydraulic fluid in the wing elevation circuit and in the wing folding circuit.
Wide-Scale Single-Pass Road Grader Implement with Deployable/Stowable Blade-Carrying Frame Sections and On-Board Dust Suppression System
A grading implement features a frame with at least one movable section carried by a main frame section. Each movable section is movable relative thereto between a storage position and a working position reaching further laterally outward from the main section to increase a working width of the implement. An underside of each movable section features a respective blade adjustably mounted thereto for selective adjustment between different relative blade positions relative to the movable section. One embodiment features outboard blades on two movable sections, inboard blades on another two movable sections, and a rear blade mounted centrally on the main section behind the inboard and outboard blades. A dust suppression system features spray nozzles distributed across the main frame section behind the blades, and storage tanks mounted atop the main section so that weight of the dust suppression agent provides extra downforce to the blades.
Locking linkage for folding agricultural implement
An agricultural implement includes a first frame member and a second frame member pivotally connected to each other and an actuating assembly configured to rotate the second frame member. The actuating assembly includes a first link pivotally connected to the first frame member, a second link pivotally connected to the second frame member, and a third link attached to an actuator. Two of the first, second, and third links are pivotally connected by a connecting pin, which is received in a slot formed in the third one of the links. The actuating assembly is configured to prevent the pin from moving along the slot and to allow rotation of the second link relative to the third link, when the second frame member is arranged between a retracted position and an expanded position, and to allow the pin to move along the slot, when the second frame member is arranged in the expanded position.
ARTICULATED NOZZLE-HOLDER BOOM ARM FOR AGRICULTURAL SPRAYER
An articulated nozzle-holder boom arm for agricultural sprayer which is extensible to the sides of a main chassis and which can be folded to a transportation position by means of an intermediate hinge generally placed in an intermediate point of the boom arm, and the several sections of the beam forming the boom arm can be engaged or disengaged easily and without welding in the hinge or several supports of the beam sections, being the beam sections generally extruded aluminum profiles and the union of the profiles ends obtained engaging the same in retaining flanges included in the supports and hinges of connection of the sections.
FOLDING REAR CROSS SYSTEM
A folding rear cross system for a harvesting device having a harvesting direction and a discharge includes first and second substantially linearly aligned reversible endless belt sections, positioned near the discharge and oriented transverse to the harvesting direction. Each belt section has an inboard end disposed in overlapping relationship with the inboard end of the other. A lifting device is attached to selectively lift and lower the first and second reversible endless belt sections to reverse the overlapping relationship
System and method for monitoring the levelness of a multi-wing agricultural implement
A system for monitoring the levelness of a multi-wing agricultural implement may include a central frame section, a wing section pivotably coupled to the central frame section and a field contour sensor configured to generate data indicative of a contour of an aft portion of the field located rearward of the implement relative to a direction of travel of the implement. The system may further include a controller communicatively coupled to the field contour sensor. The controller may be configured to monitor the data received from the field contour sensor and assess a levelness of the implement based at least in part on the contour of the aft portion of the field.
