A cultivator is provided. The cultivator can have a main frame having a front end and a back end, a hitch assembly connected to the front end of the main frame, a tilling section attached to the back end of the main frame, a pair of main ground wheels, a first wing ground wheel and a second wing ground wheel, a plurality of ground engaging tools connected to and extending below the tilling section.

An agricultural implement includes a toolbar system having a toolbar frame, an elevator assembly, and a first wing on one side of the toolbar frame. The first wing may be coupled to the elevator and pivotable about a first vertical axis of rotation between an extended and a folded position. Tools may be coupled to the first wing and rotatable relative to a longitudinal axis of the first wing from an operating position below the first wing to a transport/shipping position above the first wing. Further, the first wing may be adapted to be moveable to position the first wing higher than a wheel of the agricultural implement on the same side of the toolbar frame in the folded position. Subsequently, the tools may be circularly rotated and the middle wing and tools pushed down to reduce the overall width and height of the implement for transporting or shipping.

An agricultural system that includes a towable agricultural implement. The towable agricultural implement includes a tow bar assembly. A wing tool bar pivotally couples to the tow bar assembly or to a work vehicle. The wing tool bar is configured to transition between a deployed configuration and a retracted configuration. A plurality of row units attach to the wing tool bar. An implement protection system detects an obstruction in a path of the towable agricultural implement. The implement protection system includes a proximity sensor coupled to the towable agricultural implement. The proximity sensor emits a proximity signal indicative of the obstruction. A controller couples to the proximity sensor and receives the proximity signal indicative of the obstruction and emits a warning signal.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for shifting weight between a tractor and toolbar and between sections of the toolbar and for folding a toolbar between a field position and a transport position.

An agricultural harvester includes a chassis and a header carried by the chassis. The header includes: a center section supporting at least one center cutter and having a pair of lateral ends; a wing section linked to one of the lateral ends of the center section and supporting at least one wing cutter, the wing section being vertically moveable relative to the center section between a harvesting position and a transport position, the wing section being pivotable about a generally vertical pivot axis in the transport position and substantially prevented from pivoting about the pivot axis in the harvesting position; and an actuator linked to the wing section and configured to vertically move the wing section from the harvesting position to the transport position.

A multimodal sensing system for agricultural machines may include an agricultural machine operable in a first operating mode and a second operating mode and a sensor which is movable to adjust its field-of-view between a first field-of-view and a second field-of-view depending on the operating mode of the agricultural machine. The sensor may be configured to generate sensor data associated with the first field-of-view when the agricultural machine is operating in the first operating mode and generate sensor data associated with the second field-of-view when the agricultural machine is operating in the second operating mode. A controller may analyze the sensor data generated when the sensor has the first and second field-of-views so as to provide respective first and second output signals associated with the first and second operating modes, respectively, of the agricultural machine.

An agricultural implement can be used to engage a field. Such engagement can be in a number of ways, including, but not limited to, ground engaging, application, drilling, precision agriculture, spreading, spraying, broadcasting, or the like. A number of row units with the engaging tools are positioned along a toolbar extending transversely to the direction of travel. To more easily transport the implement, and to comply with transportation rules and regulations, the toolbar can be folded about wing sections. This can be in multiple directions, including rotationally forward, rotationally vertical, and translationally rearward, which reduces the width of the implement and also minimizes the longitudinal distance between a hitch connecting the implement to a tow vehicle and the transport wheels of the implement.
