A mobile agricultural machine includes a sensor capable of sensing a gaseous composition of an air flow impinging the sensor; an air filtering unit configured to remove particulate matter from the air flow; and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive a sensing signal from the sensor, wherein the sensing signal is representative of the gaseous composition; and output an indication signal if the gaseous composition is indicative of an anomaly associated with an operation of the mobile agricultural machine.

A drive-by-wire system can include pair of inputs and a controller configured to process signals from the inputs in a first mode and process the same signals differently in a second mode. The controller can be configured to, in the first mode, drive a first motor at a speed and direction that corresponds to the position of the first input and drive a second motor at a speed and direction that corresponds to the position of the second input and, in the second mode, drive the first motor and the second motor in the same direction and at the same speed using the first drive signal when the controller receives a second neutral signal from the second input, and drive the first motor and the second motor at different speeds and/or directions when the controller receives the first drive signal and the second drive signal.

Systems for improving fire safety in agricultural machinery are configured for detecting, at least partially controlling, and/or suppressing adverse fire-related conditions. The adverse fire-related conditions can include sparks, embers, and/or flames in the agricultural machinery.

A work machine includes a housing, a motor positioned on an upper surface of the housing, a battery connected with the motor, and a blade to be driven by the motor. An air introduction member that cools a control device by causing air to flow is provided on an inside of a motor case. Plural bottom surface ventilation ports and plural side surface ventilation ports are provided in the motor case. Both of the ventilation ports cause air to flow into the inside of the motor case. The plural bottom surface ventilation ports and the plural side surface ventilation ports are disposed at positions lower than the air introduction member and the control device.

In an agricultural harvester header for an agricultural vehicle including a frame, a reel attached to the frame and having a plurality of reel tine bars, a cutterbar attached to the frame and positioned beneath the reel, an actuator for moving the reel tine bars between a deployed position and a retracted position, a sensor for sensing a position of the cutterbar, and a computer, a method for returning the reel tine bars to the deployed position includes (i) receiving, at the computer, signals from the sensor, (ii) recording a sensed position of the cutterbar when the actuator moves the reel tine bars to the retracted position, and (iii) activating the actuator to return the reel tine bars to the deployed position as a function of when the cutterbar returns to the recorded sensed position.

A lateral offset mower implement may include a mower support frame, a pivot head, a curtain support apparatus, and a curtain. The mower support frame has a first end attached to a work vehicle and a second end spaced from the first end along a central longitudinal axis of the mower support frame. The pivot head is coupled to the mower support frame proximate the second end thereof. The pivot head defines a first curtain axis, and the first curtain axis is vertical during operation. The curtain support apparatus has a primary curtain support member attached to the pivot head and extending away from the pivot head to a distal end. The curtain is supported by the curtain support apparatus. The primary curtain support member is pivotably attached to the pivot head for relative rotation between the primary curtain support member and the pivot head about the first curtain axis.

Electric lawnmowers comprise drive units and mowing units disengageably coupled to the drive units. For example, a drive unit can be disengageably coupled to any one of multiple mowing units (e.g., rotating mowing units, reel mowing units) collecting forming a mowing system. For example, each of the drive and mowing units may be equipped with corresponding mechanical-engagement structures that are configured to be disengageably coupled. Each mowing unit is equipped with its electric motor (e.g., for rotating the cutting blades or the reel of that unit). The electric motor may comprise an electric connector, which is disengageably coupled to the drive unit's electrical wiring. In some examples, each mowing unit can also form a liquid disengageable coupling for circulating a thermal liquid between the drive unit and mowing unit, e.g., for cooling various components of the drive unit.
