A spray boom of a spray boom assembly includes a boom frame and a spray section coupled to the boom frame. The spray section includes an elongated spray pipe configured to be fluidly coupled to a fluid source and a nozzle coupled to the spray pipe. An actuator is coupled at one end to the boom frame and at an opposite end to the spray section. The actuator controllably extends and retracts to move the spray pipe and nozzle between a raised position and a lowered position.

A spray boom for spraying a fluid on a target includes a boom frame and a spray section coupled to the boom frame. The spray section includes a spray pipe configured to be fluidly coupled to a fluid source and a nozzle coupled to the spray pipe and configured to be fluidly coupled to the fluid source. An actuator is coupled at one end to the boom frame and at an opposite end to the spray section. The actuator is controllably extending and retracting to move the spray pipe and nozzle between a raised position and a lowered position. A trip assembly is coupled between the boom frame and actuator for biasing the spray section to a biased position in which the actuator and nozzle are substantially perpendicular to the underlying surface.

An agricultural machine includes a chassis, a center frame mounted for vertical movement, and laterally extendable right and left foldable booms. A sprayer boom controller includes positioning data. A first identification system transmits a predefined frequency radio signal at a first point in time. A second identification system on the right boom and a third identification system on the left boom receive the radio signal. An identification system calculates actual distances between the first and second identification systems and the first and third identification systems based on the wavelength of the radio signal and the differences of the first and second points in time and the first and third points in time. Information regarding the actual distances is transmitted to the sprayer boom controller which compares the calculated distances with the predetermined positioning data and stops folding and/or unfolding in response to determining they exceed or underrun a tolerance value.

A system having a boom; an arm attached to the boom; and a camera connected to the arm; wherein at least one of i) a distance between the boom and the camera is adjustable, ii), an angle between the arm and the boom is adjustable, and iii) the camera is rotatably connected to the arm.

An agricultural vehicle is moveable across a surface. The agricultural vehicle includes a chassis, a traction member coupled to the chassis with the traction member configured to engage the surface and move the chassis relative to the surface, a holding tank coupled to the chassis with the holding tank configured to support agricultural matter, a support boom coupled to the chassis, and a plurality of applicator assemblies. Each applicator assembly of the plurality of applicator assemblies includes a resilient body coupled to the support boom, a foot coupled to the body with the foot configured to be biased into engagement with the surface via the resiliency of the body, and a nozzle. The nozzle is in communication with the holding tank and configured to dispense the agricultural matter.

An agricultural vehicle is provided herein that includes a chassis operably coupled with a powertrain control system. A boom assembly is operably coupled with the chassis. One or more nozzles is positioned along the boom assembly. A flow control assembly is configured to selectively dispense an agricultural product from a tank through the one or more nozzles. A controller is operably coupled with the powertrain control system and the boom assembly. The controller includes a processor and associated memory with the memory storing instructions that, when implemented by the processor, configure the controller to receive instructions to accelerate or decelerate the vehicle and alter a flow rate of the agricultural product through actuation of the flow control assembly in response to receiving instructions to accelerate or decelerate the vehicle.

Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to an agricultural observation and treatment system and method of operation. The agricultural treatment system determines a vehicle pose of a vehicle as the vehicle moves along a path. The system identifies a first target agricultural object for treatment. Based on the determined vehicle pose, the system positions a treatment head of a first treatment unit such that a first projectile fluid may be emitted by the first treatment unit at the identified first target agricultural object. The system then causes an emitter to emit a fluid from the treatment head at the first target agricultural object.

A spray boom for spraying a fluid on a target includes a boom frame and a spray section coupled to the boom frame. The spray section includes a spray pipe configured to be fluidly coupled to a fluid source and a nozzle coupled to the spray pipe and configured to be fluidly coupled to the fluid source. An actuator is coupled at one end to the boom frame and at an opposite end to the spray section. The actuator is controllably extending and retracting to move the spray pipe and nozzle between a raised position and a lowered position. A trip assembly is coupled between the boom frame and actuator for biasing the spray section to a biased position in which the actuator and nozzle are substantially perpendicular to the underlying surface.

A control device for an agricultural vehicle having a spray boom assembly for spreading material, such as fertilizer, plant protection products or seeds includes a control unit and at least two pressure control valves used for controlling an inclination of the spray boom assembly and connected to the control unit. Each pressure control valve has assigned thereto a check valve and a pressure sensor, the check valve being arranged between the pressure sensor and the pressure control valve. An agricultural vehicle and a method for operating the agricultural vehicle are arranged to spread material, such as fertilizer, plant protection products or seeds.

A product system for an agricultural sprayer includes a product tank configured to store an agricultural product. A reclaim system can be configured to provide the agricultural product within a flow assembly to a product tank. A computing system can be communicatively coupled to the reclaim system. The computing system can be configured to receive information indicative of one or more characteristics of the agricultural product inputted into the fill station during a fill mode; detect termination of the fill mode; and activate a reclaim mode to move the agricultural product from the flow assembly to the product tank through activation of the reclaim system, wherein one or more operating conditions of the reclaim mode are based on the one or more characteristics of the agricultural product.
