Gimbal for connecting implements to a tow vehicle
A gimbal is provided for attaching an implement to a three-point hitch. The gimbal has an implement plate comprising a first side and a second side wherein attached to the first side is an upper implement bracket for coupling to an upper implement arm and a lower bracket for coupling to a lower implement arm wherein the second side comprises a retaining cavity. A tow plate is received in the retaining cavity and is rotational relative to the implement plate. The tow plate comprises lower brackets arranged to connect to lift arms of the three point hitch and an upper bracket arranged to connect to a stabilizer arm of the three point hitch.
Multi-functional garden implement
A multi-functional garden implement comprises an underframe, and a power motor is secured to the underframe. The multi-functional garden implement also comprises an adapting tube, inside which a transmitting shaft is rotatably connected. One end of the transmitting shaft connects to a working head. A locking sleeve is secured to the underframe, and the end of the adapting tube movably inserts into the locking sleeve. There is a locking piece designed on the locking sleeve, which allows the locking sleeve to clamp the adapting tube and secure the adapting tube onto the locking sleeve. The present multi-functional garden implement can replace the working head quickly, so that it has functions of cutting, micro tilling, etc.
Livestock bedding groomer
The bedding groomer comprises a frame attachable to an ag vehicle such as a skid loader or tractor for movement down the alley of a free stall barn. Pivotally supported on the frame is an elongate shroud that can be moved from a raised travel position to a lowered, laterally extending working position by a hydraulic cylinder. Rotatably mounted within the shroud is an elongated arbor driven by a hydraulic motor. Along the length of the arbor is a plurality of radially projecting tines. As the ag vehicle travels down the alley, the tines dig into the animal bedding material, churning it, to break up hard packed and compressed areas and to aerate deep within the bedding to aid in aerobic composting any organic material, such as manure, that is present in the bedding.

System and method for controlling the operation of an agricultural implement
An agricultural implement includes a computing system configured to identify a plurality of residue pieces present within the portion of the field based on the image data generated by the imaging device. Furthermore, the computing system is configured to determine a number of residue pieces having a length within a first length range and a number of residue pieces having a length within a second length range. Moreover, the computing system is configured to determine a characteristic length range for the portion of the field, with the characteristic length range corresponding to one of the first length range or the second length range having the greatest number of residue pieces associated therewith. In addition, the computing system is configured to control an operating parameter of the ground-engaging tool based on the determined characteristic length range.
Dual-direction tiller/cultivator
A driveline assembly for equipment, such as a tiller, includes a pair of counter-rotating bevel gears supported on a wheel shaft and rotatable relative to the wheel shaft. The driveline assembly includes a first slider gear movable between a first position in which the first slider gear is engaged with a first bevel gear of the pair of bevel gears, and a second position in which the first slider gear is engaged with a second bevel gear of the pair of bevel gears. When the first slider gear is engaged with the first bevel gear, the first bevel gear becomes operatively connected to a rotatable tine shaft to rotate tines in a first direction. When the first slider gear is engaged with the second bevel gear, the second bevel gear becomes operatively connected to the rotatable tine shaft to rotate the tines in a second direction opposite the first direction.
DISC BLADE ANGLE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AN AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT
A disc blade angle control system for a tillage implement includes a disc blade angle adjustment assembly configured to adjust an angle of a disc blade of the tillage implement relative to a horizontal plane of the tillage implement. The disc blade is configured to engage soil and to break up a top layer of the soil.
DISC BLADE ANGLE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AN AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT
A disc blade angle control system for an agricultural implement includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of a side load applied to a disc blade of the agricultural implement. The disc blade is configured to engage soil, and the side load corresponds to a force applied to the disc blade along an axis parallel to a rotational axis of the disc blade. The controller is also configured to control an actuator to adjust an angle of the disc blade based on the side load.
TOOL AND TOOL HOLDER FOR A ROTARY LAND PREPARATION IMPLEMENT AND VEHICLE THEREOF
A land preparation implement includes a rotatable drum assembly that includes a tool assembly. The tool assembly includes a tool holder and a tool. The tool includes a plurality of cleats. The tool holder includes a plurality of cleat supports. The cleats and the cleat supports cooperate to facilitate releasable coupling of the tool to the tool holder.
Tillage implement with intra-wing gang offset
A tillage implement has a main frame, a hinged wing and a plurality of gangs each having tools along its length. The plurality of gangs includes a main frame gang mounted to the main frame and inner and outer wing gangs mounted to the wing. The inner and outer wing gangs have inner ends that are forward or rearward with respect to the direction of travel of outer ends, and the lengths of the inner and outer wing gangs are offset from each other in the direction of travel.
