DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING THE ANGLE FOR DISCK SECTIONS FOR AGRICULTURAL HARROWS, AND AGRICULTURAL HARROW
Presently described is a device (1) for adjusting the angle of disc sections for agricultural harrows which comprises at least one articulation element (10) configured to be pivotally attached to a beam (200) of an agricultural harrow (2), the articulation element (10) being configured to be pivotally attached to an adjustment shaft (20), thus allowing the angular adjustment of the beams of the agricultural harrow sections in both a horizontal plane and a vertical/transverse plane, comprising simple construction when compared to solutions existing in the prior art, making use of few components to allow both adjustments, and providing simple, practical and fast operation, requiring few manipulation steps.
AGRICULTURAL TILLING SYSTEM AND COMPONENTS
An agricultural tilling assembly has an elongate structure, and at least one ground engaging tool sub-assembly. The sub-assembly includes a hub having a mounting portion, a ground engaging tool securable to the hub or integrally formed therewith, and a weight having a body with an open aperture having a mouth, the mouth configured for enabling the weight plate to be threaded over the elongate structure so that the elongate structure extends through the aperture, and the open aperture configured so that the weight plate is maneuverable over a portion of a length of the hub whilst in situ on the elongate structure and to be beatable on the mounting portion. The ground engaging tool is connectable to a respective one of the hubs of the tilling assembly whilst that hub is retained interconnected in situ on the tilling assembly, and without removing another ground engaging tool from the tilling assembly.

Agricultural ground engaging chain and link system
A link assembly (3) and system (203) including a first link portion (7, 207) and a second link portion (9, 209). The first link portion (7, 207) includes a bulbous end (13). The second link portion (9, 209 a socket (15). To link adjacent link assemblies (3) or the first link portion (7, 207) to the second link portion (9, 209), the bulbous end (13) is received in the socket (15). In one example, the link assembly (3) is part of an agricultural ground engaging chain (1) having harrow member portions (5). In other examples, the link assembly and system (203) are used to link first element (204) and second elements (206) to one another. This may be used to join or anchor vehicles, structures and the like.

TILLAGE IMPLEMENT WITH VISION SENSORS
A control system for a tillage implement broadly includes front and rear sensors, a leveling assembly, and a controller. The front sensor is positioned on a front of a central section, wherein the front sensor is configured to obtain height information indicative of a height of the front of the central section above a ground. The rear sensor is positioned on a rear of the central section, wherein the rear sensor is configured to obtain height information indicative of a height of the rear of the central section above the ground. The leveling assembly is configured to adjust a front to rear orientation of the central section. The controller is configured to receive the height information from the front sensor and the height information from the rear sensor, and to provide instructions to the leveling assembly to adjust the front to rear orientation of the central section based on the received height information.
System and method for detecting tool plugging of an agricultural implement based on residue differential
A system for detecting plugging of ground-engaging tools of agricultural implements includes an aft sensor(s) configured to capture data indicative of a post-worked residue coverage of a portion of a field aft of a ground-engaging tool(s). The system includes a controller configured to monitor the data received from the aft sensor(s) and determine the post-worked residue coverage for the portion of the field. The controller is configured to identify when the ground-engaging tool(s) is experiencing a plugged condition based at least in part on the determined post-worked residue coverage for the field.
Hybrid tillage implement for vertical tillage and aeration of soil with deposit of soil additive
An agricultural tillage implement has a vertical tillage section and an aerating section behind the vertical tillage section, each extending substantially perpendicular to the pull direction of the implement. Individual vertical tillage elements, such as disc blades, can be indexed with individual rotary tine assemblies of the aerator section so that discrete holes formed by the aerator section are positioned between substantially continuous slits formed by the vertical tillage section. A ground deposit system deposits a component on the ground and may be configured for conducting and depositing a granular component, such as seeds, fertilizers, minerals or the like, or liquid components, such as liquid manure.

Ground engaging tool positioning system
An agricultural system includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The controller is configured to determine a steering angle of a work vehicle of the agricultural system, determine a target height of a ground engaging tool of the agricultural system based on the steering angle, and output a signal to control a height of the ground engaging tool relative to a soil surface based on the target height.
