An adjustable lift rate system on a grass mowing machine such as a riding greensmower having a lift and lower circuit including a plurality of hydraulic lift cylinders to lift and lower a plurality of cutting units, and a controller providing a current to a proportional solenoid valve to bypass the hydraulic lift cylinders. An operator control may be used to adjust the current to the proportional solenoid valve to adjust the lift and lower rate of the cutting units.

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.

A mower provides a frame intended to be implemented on a tractor, or to form a structure of a trailer. The mower provides a plurality of cutting units (6), at least six, generally disposed side by side, each cutting unit (6) comprising at least one roller (44) intended to roll on the ground. The mower provides a lift assembly linking the cutting units (6) to the frame and configured for articulating the cutting units (6) between a mowing position and a non-mowing position. In the mowing position, the lift assembly is configured for pressing the cutting units (6) against the ground in order to distribute, at least partially, the mower's weight on the ground via the rollers (44) of the cutting units (6). The mower provides lateral articulated beams (10) linking the cutting units (6). The beams (10) are foldable inwardly and forwardly.

A mowing device has an elongate frame with opposing longitudinal ends and two mowing units disposed on opposite longitudinal sides of the frame. Each mowing unit has an elongate support with a first pivot joint (G1) by which a first of the opposing longitudinal ends of the support is hinged on one of the longitudinal sides to pivot about a horizontal rotational axis (A) extending in the longitudinal direction (LR1) of the frame. A bar-shaped mower is hinged on a second the opposing longitudinal ends of the support in order to extend, in a working position, longitudinally horizontally and transversely to the longitudinal direction (LR1). A second pivot joint (G2) provides a rotational axis (A2) that extends vertically, transversely to the first rotational axis (A1) to allow for mower pivoting to a transport position.

A mower includes a plurality of cutting heads, each cutting head having a minor cutting width, the plurality of cutting heads connected by a plurality of connectors in an array having a variable major cutting width. The mower also includes a steering system coupled with a first driven wheel and supported by one cutting head, and a second driven wheel supported by one other cutting head. The steering system is capable of steering the first driven wheel independently from the second driven wheel.

A wide area turf mower has a wheel supported main frame and cutting units movably connected to the main frame and positioned in rows in a staggered order to form a mower cutting configuration for cutting a continuous swath of turf between any two outer cutting units located respectively on opposite sides of the main frame. One row of the cutting units includes a first pair of pivotally interconnected outer and inner cutting units at a first side of the main frame, and a second pair of pivotally interconnected inner and outer cutting units at the second side of the main frame. First hydraulic cylinders cause the outer cutting units to fold in a direction towards the rear end of the main frame. Second hydraulic cylinders cause the inner cutting units to lift in an upward direction. A controller operates all of the hydraulic cylinders.

A plain mower includes a plurality of rotary cutters for cutting a crop and a swathing unit for forming the cut crop material into a swath. The swathing unit includes an auger that rotates about an axis to transport crop material axially through the swathing unit. The swathing unit can be configured in a first configuration in which the crop material is ejected axially from the auger, and can be reconfigured in a second configuration in which the crop material is ejected radially from the auger.
