A self-moving device and a control method for a self-moving device are disclosed. The self-moving device includes a moving module, a control module and an adjusting device. The moving module includes a track, driven by a drive motor to drive the self-moving device to move. The control module controls the adjusting device to adjust a grounding length of the track, such that the grounding length of the track when the self-moving device turns is smaller than that of the track when the self-moving device moves straightly. The control method for a self-moving device includes the steps: controlling to reduce the grounding length of the track before the self-moving device is controlled to turn; and controlling to increase the grounding length of the track after the self-moving device is controlled to finish the turning.

An agricultural device may include an elongate housing having first and second ends and defining a cavity between the first and second ends, and a rotating shaft extending longitudinally through the cavity of the elongate housing and coupled to the first and second ends. The agricultural device may include a mechanical gearbox coupled between the rotating shaft and a tractor, and chain segments coupled to the rotating shaft and being longitudinally spaced on the rotating shaft. The mechanical gearbox may be configured to spin the rotating shaft so that the chain segments extend and impact a ground surface.

A soil-cultivation device includes a frame attachable to a tractor for movement along a direction of travel F and cultivating units mounted on the frame. Each cultivating unit has a tool carrier unit comprising soil-cultivation tools mounted on the tool carrier unit. The tool carrier unit may be detected in a direction A, A transverse to the direction of travel F. The soil-cultivation tool is moved by of the tool carrier unit on an endlessly circulating path. The tool carrier unit can be moved at a speed which is matched to the speed of the tractor in the direction of travel F such that the soil-cultivation tools engage exclusively in areas between two successive cultivated plants of the row of cultivated plants. A direction of movement of the tools, W, forms an angle relative to the direction of travel F, wherein 90<<180.

The invention relates to a mobile analysis and processing device (14) for agriculture for processing the soil and/or manipulating flora and fauna. The device (14) comprises at least one sensor (62), a tool unit (52) having at least one motor-driven tool (58), an actuator (48) for moving at least the tool (58) of the tool unit (52), a motor (50) for driving the tool (58) and/or the actuator (48), a database (78), a first communication unit (60) having an interface (70a), and a first computer (46) for controlling the sensor (62), the tool unit (52) and the actuator (48) by means of generated control commands. The data captured by means of the sensor (62) are continually compared with the data stored in the database (78) in order to generate corresponding control signals for the actuator (48), the tool unit (52) and/or the motor (50). By means of said device, mobility and flexibility are created, in accordance with which flexibility the device (14) forms a unit by means of which all data can be processed in real time, control signals can be generated for the actuator (48), the tool unit (52) and/or the motor (50) and immediate operation in accordance with the control signals is possible. Thus, combination with, for example, different carriers (12), which move the device (14) over the field if necessary, is possible.

The invention provides a mechanical device to assist in weed removal from crops in an organic manner by mechanically pulling weeds by use of a rotating member to grasp and pull weeds from the soil while leaving the desired crop in place. The rotating members may be wheels, metal rollers, and combinations thereof removably attached to a tractor wherein one rotating member is an inflated rubber tire and the second rotating member is a metal roller wrapped with a rubber lagging and may include a posi-pull system.

The invention relates to a carrier system (10) comprising a carrier (12) and a mobile device (14) for tilling the soil and/or for manipulating flora and fauna, the carrier (12) having: a drive (16) for moving the carrier system (10); a control system (12b); an energy source (24), which co-operates with the drive (16) and provides the voltage required for operation; a receptacle (12a) for receiving and connecting to the mobile device (14); a communication unit (30); a first communication interface (36a) that co-operates with the communication unit (30) in order to exchange data with the mobile device (14) which has a dedicated interface (36b); and a second communication interface (32) that co-operates with the communication unit (30) and that at least receives control data and forwards said data to the control system (12b) for the pre-defined movement of the carrier system (10).
