Compensation system for an agricultural machine, and distribution machine and method for compensating for ground unevenness for an agricultural machine
A compensation system for an agricultural machine comprises a distributor boom mounted on a chassis in a height-adjustable manner. The distributor boom has side parts which are pivotably arranged to the left and right on a central part, and a plurality of distribution elements arranged thereon which are connected to a storage container for material to be distributed. A vertical position of the distributor may be changed by an actuating device. A data processer is configured to generate actuating signals for the actuating device for changing the vertical position. To prevent collisions of the distributor boom with the ground while at the same time minimizing drift, a sensor device is configured to detect rotation of the chassis or the distributor boom in the direction of travel and the data processer is configured to generate actuating signals for the actuating device based upon the rotation.
Self mounting ballast weight system
A working vehicle has a ballast weight system including a fulcrum mounted on the vehicle frame and a ballast weight configured to pivot between a mounting configuration with the ballast weight is resting on the ground and an operational configuration with the ballast weight is carried by the vehicle frame. The ballast weight has a mounting arm and a lower corner portion. The mounting arm has a recess configured to interact with the fulcrum, wherein in the mounting configuration, the recess faces sideways such that the work vehicle is driven towards the ballast weight until the fulcrum interfaces with the recess. A catch mechanism secures the ballast weight to the fulcrum. A lift mechanism attaches between the ballast weight and the vehicle frame such that the lift mechanism pushes on the corner portion to pivot the ballast weight about the fulcrum. A latch mechanism pins the ballast weight in the operational position.
Ballasting device for a tractor, especially a farming tractor
A main ballasting weight (10) straight from the foundry for a farming tractor, comprising upper faces and lower faces (11, 12), two faces (13, 14) oriented transversely to the direction of movement of the tractor, and two lateral faces (15, 16) parallel to the direction of movement of the tractor, said lower face comprising dovetail type means of connection (121, 122) to provide an anchoring with a secondary weight, said upper face forming an upper plate comprising a means of pre-positioning and centring (110) of a box (20) designed to be mounted on said main weight, said lateral faces (15, 16) being able to cooperate with lateral flanges (22, 23) of said box which are attached bearing against said lateral faces and having fixation orifices (150) able to receive fixation screws cooperating with said lateral flanges for the fixation of said box to said main weight.
ATTACHMENT ASSEMBLY FOR USE WITH A WORK MACHINE
Attachment assembly for use with a work machine. The attachment assembly includes an attachment adapter and an attachment frame. The attachment adapter is coupled to the work machine and fixed relative thereto. The attachment frame includes a member that defines an attachment point. The attachment point engages, into an engaged mode, with the attachment adapter when a front suspension system of the work machine is raised to a raised position. The attachment point disengages, into a disengaged mode, from the attachment adapter when the front suspension system is lowered to a lowered position. The attachment adapter travels with the work machine when in the engaged mode and also in the disengaged mode. The attachment frame travels with the work machine only when in the engaged mode.
Vehicle with three or more wheels provided with an anti-roll stabiliser device and anti-roll control method of a vehicle having at least three wheels
A vehicle with 3 or more wheels includes at least two wheels aligned on the same axis. The vehicle has an intermediate centerline plane between the wheels parallel to a direction of movement, including a mass suspended in relation to the wheels defining a passenger or containment compartment, and two suspension groups kinematically connecting the suspended mass to the two aligned wheels. An anti-roll stabilizer device has at least one compensation mass kinematically connected to the suspended mass via a guide and movable in relation thereto. The anti-roll stabilizer device has a drive of the compensation mass to distance or bring the compensation mass closer to the centerline plane on the side opposite the displacement of a barycenter of the suspended mass with respect to the same centerline plane, to oppose the displacement with respect to the centerline plane of the position of the barycenter of the suspended mass.
WORK VECHILE
A work vehicle capable of accurately obtaining current topography to be worked is provided. A motor grader includes a vehicular body frame, a blade, and a camera. The blade is arranged between a front end of the vehicular body frame and a rear end of the vehicular body frame. The camera is configured to obtain current topography in front of the vehicular body frame. The camera is attached to the vehicular body frame. The camera is arranged in front of the blade.
