A system includes an agricultural vehicle having a first storage container configured to store an agricultural product, a support vehicle having a second storage container, and an aerial vehicle having one or more sensors configured to monitor a fullness of the second storage container. The aerial vehicle is configured to provide a first signal indicative of the fullness of the second storage container to the agricultural vehicle.

An agricultural apparatus including an agricultural vehicle together with a front work unit and two lateral work units located behind and to the sides of the front work unit. The front work unit has a connection to the front of the agricultural vehicle and the lateral work units share a connection to the rear of the agricultural vehicle. Each of the work units deposits cut crop as a swath. One or more sensors determine a height of the rear connection above the ground surface. A control unit is provided for controlling the height of the connections above the ground surface, such that if the height of the rear connection is determined to deviate from a predetermined value, the control unit causes the height of the rear connection to be adjusted towards the predetermined value.

A mower combination including an agricultural vehicle and a number of mowing units suitable for cutting standing crop, including a front mowing unit and two lateral mowing units located behind and to the sides of the front mowing unit. Each of the lateral mowing units includes a conveyor to deposit cut crop as a swath. Sensors determine the slope and lateral displacement of each conveyor. A control unit receives inputs from the sensors and compares the inputs to a predetermined set of values of slope and, as indicated by the comparison, adjusts the lateral displacement of at least one conveyor.

A mower includes a pair of drive wheels, a pairs of non-drive wheels, and a mower deck. The mower deck includes a central deck housing, a first blade housing, a second blade housing, and an actuator coupled to the central deck housing and at least one of the first blade housing and the second blade housing. The first blade housing is pivotally coupled to a first side of the central deck housing so as to be angularly displaceable relative to the central deck housing, the second blade housing is pivotally coupled to a second side of the central deck housing so as to be angularly displaceable relative to the central deck housing. The actuator is configured to selectively raise and lower at least one of the first blade housing and the second blade housing relative to the central deck housing.

A triplex greensmower lift system includes a yoke mount attached to a reel cutting unit forwardly and below a center of gravity of the reel cutting unit, an upper lift arm attached to the yoke mount and extending rearwardly behind the reel cutting unit to a horizontal pivot axis on a lower lift arm located at a height between a top of the reel cutting unit and the center of gravity of the reel cutting unit, and a spring connected to the upper lift arm and biasing the upper lift arm upwardly and rearwardly to reduce ground pressure on the reel cutting unit.

An agricultural device associated with reduced tillage techniques in a field includes a frame and at least one mower module supported by the frame, the at least one mower module positionable to cut plant matter between adjacent crop rows in the field. The plant matter has penetrated a previously formed mat of at least partially crushed residual plant matter.

mowing device has a central frame mounted on wheels (16a, 16b) carrying at least two mowing units (20a, 20b) which are each connected to the central frame (12) via a connection unit (24a, 24b), wherein a connection unit (24a, 24b) includes a main pivot arm (28a, 28b) and an outer pivot arm (26a, 26b), the outer pivot arm (26a, 26b) connected to the main pivot arm (28a, 28b) in such a manner that it is pivotable about an outer arm joint (34a, 34b) relative to the main pivot arm (28a, 28b), the connection unit (24a, 24b) further including a mowing unit joint (32a, 32b) for connecting the mowing unit (20a, 20b) to the outer pivot arm (26a, 26b), the mowing unit joint (32a, 32b) arranged at the end of the outer pivot arm (26a, 26b) that is remote from the outer arm joint (34a, 34b).

A mower for turf or lawn includes a frame for use on a tractor, or to form a structure of a trailer, and a plurality of cutting units, at least six, generally disposed side by side, each cutting unit including at least one roller for rolling on the ground. The mower includes lift means linking the cutting units to the frame and configured for articulating the cutting units between a mowing position and a non-mowing position. In the mowing position, the lift means are configured for pressing the cutting units against the ground in order to distribute, at least partially, the mower's weight on the ground via the rollers of the cutting units. The mower includes lateral articulated beams linking the cutting units. The beams are foldable inwardly and forwardly.

A flexible mower deck includes a center deck with a plurality of belt driven pulleys for rotating a plurality of rotary cutting blades under the center deck. A wing deck is pivotably attached to each of the first and second ends. A motor on each wing deck rotates a rotary cutting blade by actuating a switch in an operator station to pivot each wing deck to a mowing position.

A triplex greensmower lift system includes a yoke mount attached to a reel cutting unit forwardly and below a center of gravity of the reel cutting unit, an upper lift arm attached to the yoke mount and extending rearwardly behind the reel cutting unit to a horizontal pivot axis on a lower lift arm located at a height between a top of the reel cutting unit and the center of gravity of the reel cutting unit, and a spring connected to the upper lift arm and biasing the upper lift arm upwardly and rearwardly to reduce ground pressure on the reel cutting unit.
