Wheel carrier system

A system that includes a wheel carrier system. The wheel carrier system includes a first wheel that couples to a first shaft. A first connector couples the first shaft to a central shaft. A second wheel couples to a second shaft. A second connector couples the second shaft to the central shaft. The first wheel and the second wheel independently rotate and move vertically. A first wheel carrier arm couples to a wheel carrier frame. A first link rotates a ground engaging tool system with respect to the wheel carrier frame to transition the ground engaging tool system from a lowered position to a raised position. An actuator simultaneously rotates the first wheel carrier arm from a first position to a second position and the ground engaging tool system from the lowered position to the raised position.

System and method for rotationally driving ground engaging tools of an agricultural implement
11140803 · 2021-10-12 · ·

A system for rotationally driving ground engaging tools of an agricultural implement may include a rotational actuator configured to rotationally drive a ground engaging tool of the implement about a rotational axis. A controller may be configured to determine a current ground speed of the implement based on data received from a sensor. Moreover, the controller may be further configured to determine a rotational output for the rotational actuator based on the current ground speed of the implement such that the tool rotates at a predetermined rotational speed relative to soil within a field. In addition, the controller may be configured to control the operation of the rotational actuator such that the actuator provides the determined rotational output to the tool while the tool is disposed at a working position relative to a soil surface of the field.

Gauge Wheel For Agricultural Applications
20210289689 · 2021-09-23 ·

A gauge wheel (1) for use in controlling the depth of a furrow formed by at least one planting member of cultivation equipment includes a hub member (5) having a central hub and an outer peripheral portion (9); and a resilient coil member (3). The resilient coil member (3) includes a plurality of coil windings (17) which extend closely adjacent to the outer peripheral portion (9) of the hub member (5) and which define an outer periphery of the gauge wheel (1). The coil member (3) is connected at or adjacent one end thereof to the hub member (5). In use, the resilient coil member engages the soil on a side of the furrow and controls the depth by which the at least one planting member cuts into the soil to form the furrow. There is also provided a coulter gauge wheel which includes a coulter disc and at least one gauge wheel as described above.

Scraper assembly of an agricultural row unit

A scraper assembly of an agricultural row unit includes an inner scraper configured to engage an inner surface of a disc. The scraper assembly also includes a biasing member engaged with the inner scraper and configured to urge the inner scraper toward the inner surface of the disc. In addition, the inner scraper has an engagement feature configured to contact an outer scraper to block translational movement of the inner scraper relative to a frame of the agricultural row unit.

DETECTING PLUGGING OF GROUND-ENGAGING TOOLS OF AN AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT FROM IMAGERY OF A FIELD USING A MACHINE-LEARNED CLASSIFICATION MODEL

A computing system may be configured to perform operations including obtaining image data depicting a flow of soil around a ground-engaging tool of an agricultural implement as the ground-engaging tool is moved through the soil. Furthermore, the operations may include extracting a set of features from the obtained image data. Moreover, the operations may include inputting the set of features into the machine-learned classification model and receiving a soil flow classification of the set of features as an output of the machine-learned classification model. In addition, the operations may include determining when the ground-engaging tool is plugged based on the soil flow classification of the set of features.
