Method and system for conveying material in a combine harvester
A method and system of a pneumatic conveying system for moving separated grain and small plant material to an onboard storage tank or out of the combine harvester. The pneumatic conveying system having a gateway for introducing the material into an air flow channel, and with a diverter valve or an airlock directing separated grain and small plant material to the tank or outside of the harvester.
AUTOMATED CART OPERATION
Systems and methods for automated cart operation. The automated cart operation may include determining whether a container is full at a first unloading location and, if so, moving the cart from the first unloading location to a second unloading location. The automated cart operation may include moving the cart to a container, determining whether the cart is near the container, and, if the cart is determined to be near the container, stopping the cart. The automated cart operation may include determining a route from a current location to the location of a farm implement that avoids one or more permanent obstacles and areas of the field that have not been harvested and moving the cart to the farm implement on the determined route.

Grain storage arrangement
A grain storage arrangement, the arrangement including: a generally box-shaped grain storage receptacle enclosing a grain receiving space; the storage receptacle including a base, a top, two opposite sidewalls, a first end wall, and a second end wall opposite the first end wall; a receptacle support, wherein the receptacle support supports the receptacle such that the base slopes downwardly from the first end wall to the second end wall; a grain inlet provided on or proximate to the first end wall for adding grain to the receptacle; and a grain outlet provided on or proximate to the second end wall for removing grain from the receptacle.

An agricultural work machine and a method for operation an agricultural work machine are disclosed. The agricultural work machine includes a driver’s cab with an interior space spatially partially delimited by a front window and at least one side window, a driver’s seat arranged in the interior space, an input device for entering input by an operator, a visualization system for visualizing information for an operator sitting on the driver’s seat, and a control device which is communication with the visualization system. The control device controls the visualization system in such a way that process information relevant to the selected work process is visualized.

Intuitive work vehicle vision system for enhanced operator visibility
A work vehicle has display devices and cameras coupled to display feeds at display areas. The cameras include a first set on the first side, second side, and central location relative to the first FOV and a second set on a first side, second side, and central location relative to the second FOV. A control system is configured to: in a first mode, display a first set of feeds from the first side, second side, and central location of the display areas so that the feeds are arranged at the first side, second side, and central location relative to the first FOV; and in a second mode, display a second set of feeds from the first side, second side, and central location of the second set at display areas so that the feeds are arranged at the first side, second side, and central location relative to the second FOV.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING UNLOADING OF AGRICULTURAL MATERIAL
Systems and methods for monitoring a weight of agricultural material, such as grain, unloaded from a first vehicle, such as a harvester (e.g., a combine harvester), to a second vehicle, such as a grain cart, and stopping transfer of the agricultural material when a sensed weight of the unloaded agricultural material contained in the second vehicle meets or exceeds a selected amount are disclosed. Example systems and methods may also include monitoring a fill level of agricultural material unloaded into the second vehicle simultaneously with monitoring the weight of unloaded agricultural material.
