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.

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.

A system for rotationally driving ground engaging tools of an agricultural implement may include a rotational actuator configured to rotationally drive a ground engaging tool of the implement about a rotational axis. A controller may be configured to determine a current ground speed of the implement based on data received from a sensor. Moreover, the controller may be further configured to determine a rotational output for the rotational actuator based on the current ground speed of the implement such that the tool rotates at a predetermined rotational speed relative to soil within a field. In addition, the controller may be configured to control the operation of the rotational actuator such that the actuator provides the determined rotational output to the tool while the tool is disposed at a working position relative to a soil surface of the field.

A compaction mitigation system for a work area and a method of mitigating compaction in a work area may include 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 driving head of an electric gardening machine includes a base, a driving assembly, a clutch member and a transmission member. The base defines an axial direction. The driving assembly is disposed on the base and includes a motor assembly and a driving rod. The motor assembly and the driving rod are in a rotation-connecting relationship. The clutch member is sleeved with the driving rod and slidable relative to the driving rod in the axial direction to be in a first position or a second position. The transmission member is rotatably connected to the base. The clutch member is in rotational interference with and engaged with the transmission member when the clutch member is located in the first position. The clutch member is free of rotational interference with the transmission member when the clutch member is located in the second position.

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.

A riding hydraulically driven aerator is disclosed herein. The aerator includes a frame, an engine, one or more hydraulic pumps, one or more drive wheels, and one or more tine assemblies. The one or more tine assemblies may be driven by one or more hydraulic tine motors. The one or more hydraulic tine motors may be directly coupled to the one or more tine assemblies. In various embodiments, the one or more drive wheels are driven by one or more hydraulic wheel motors. The one or more hydraulic tine motors and the one or more hydraulic wheel motors may be driven in series by the one or more hydraulic pumps.

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.

The active coulter system includes a pivotable support structure that vertically adjusts the position of an active coulter component to compensate for changes in the contour of a target field. In the preferred embodiment, a proximity sensor and an associated controller are in electronic communication with a linear actuator assembly. Based on data from the proximity sensor, the controller sends electronic instructions to the linear actuator assembly to automatically move the active coulter component vertically. The system also optionally includes a torque/speed sensor that can operate independently to control the torque and/or power supplied to the active coulter component, or the sensor can interface with the controller and anticipate changes in power needs and increase/decrease power before the operation of the active coulter component is affected.

In one aspect, a system for rotationally driving ground engaging tools of an agricultural implement may include a rotational actuator configured to rotationally drive a ground engaging tool of the implement about a rotational axis. A controller may be configured to determine a current ground speed of the implement based on data received from a sensor. Moreover, the controller may be further configured to determine a rotational output for the rotational actuator based on the current ground speed of the implement such that the tool rotates at a predetermined rotational speed relative to soil within a field. In addition, the controller may be configured to control the operation of the rotational actuator such that the actuator provides the determined rotational output to the tool while the tool is disposed at a working position relative to a soil surface of the field.
