A counter-rotating twin shaft gardening system is provided herein. The gardening system includes a drive shaft operably coupled to first and second shafts for driving the first shaft in the first direction and the second shaft in the second direction. A first ground manipulation device is attached to the first shaft. A second ground manipulation device is attached to the second shaft. The first and second ground manipulation devices including a plurality of teeth and a plurality of long arms. The plurality arms extend further outward from a planar portion than the plurality of teeth. A release system is disposed within the drive shaft to reduce or reverse the rotation of the first and second shafts when debris is disposed between the first and second ground manipulation devices. The release system is formed from a first portion and a second portion of the drive shaft.

In accordance with an example embodiment, a compaction mitigation system for a work area and a method of mitigating compaction in a work area are provided. The method includes determining a compaction map of the work area having compaction data associated with a plurality of reference points, passing a work tool through the work area at the plurality of reference points, and adjusting the work tool at the plurality of reference points based on the compaction data.

A residue detection and implement control system and method are disclosed for an agricultural implement. The system includes a source of environment data and image data of an imaged area of a crop field containing residue. The system includes a data store containing a plurality of image processing methods and at least one controller that processes the image data according to one or more image processing instruction sets. The controller selects one or more of the image processing methods based on the environment data, and processes the image data using the selected image processing instruction(s) to determine a value corresponding to residue coverage in the imaged area of the field. The controller adjusts the configuration of the agricultural implement to respond to the amount and type of residue detected.

A rotary tiller comprises a frame, a cylindrical drum rotatable relative to the frame, a plurality of tines extending from the cylindrical drum, a motor at least partially disposed within the cylindrical drum, wherein the motor is configured to rotate a motor output member, and a transmission at least partially disposed within the cylindrical drum and configured to engage the motor output member. The transmission is operable to drive rotational movement of the cylindrical drum.

The present disclosure relates to an agricultural operation vehicle comprising a body; a transmission; a clutch pedal; a hand lever; a clutch switch; a clutch link unit connected to the clutch such that the transmission is fastened and unfastened from the clutch; a clutch pedal link unit coupled to the clutch link unit to rotate around the connecting shaft; a pedal link unit connected to the clutch pedal link unit and the clutch pedal so as to rotate the clutch link unit around the connecting shaft responsive to manipulation of the clutch pedal; a clutch switch link unit coupled to the clutch link unit to rotate around the connecting shaft with the clutch link unit; and an operation unit for rotating the clutch switch link unit around the connecting shaft such that the clutch link unit is rotated around the connecting shaft responsive to manipulation of the clutch switch.

A system and method for performing cutting operations with an agricultural implement includes a cutting member capable of cutting plant material supported on the agricultural implement. A vibration source is operatively coupled to the cutting member. The vibration source is configured to generate a vibrational output at an ultrasonic frequency which is transmitted to the cutting member. The vibrational output is propagated through at least a portion of the cutting member to vibrate the cutting member as the plant material is being severed during the performance of the cutting operation.

An engine operating device of a working machine includes a control assembly installed in a body, an operating lever mounted on a handle, and an operating cable. The control assembly includes a base member, a stop switch secured to the base member, and a lever member supported by the base member. The operating cable includes a throttle wire, a stop wire, and a cable tube in which the throttle wire and the stop wire are fitted. As the operating lever is moved to an engine stop position, the lever member moves to a release position, causing an engine to stop.
