Mobile Liquid Dispersion System and Methods of Use Thereof
The present disclosure includes a mobile liquid dispensing system adaptable to be implemented on an arm-bed truck. The disclosure includes an apparatus comprising a spray rig capable of engaging arms of an arm-bed truck, and a carrier operable to be hoisted by an arm-bed truck. A method of mobile liquid dispersion is also presented that be performed from an arm-bed truck. The disclosure offers many advantages in the art, including novel uses of an arm-bed truck and a spray rig that is resistant to damage from impacts.
AGRICULTURAL SPRAYER WITH WARM WATER RINSE SYSTEM
An agricultural crop sprayer includes a product tank for holding a solution of plant protection product, a product dispense system, and a rinse tank for holding a rinse fluid. A plumbing network fluidly connects the product tank, the product dispense system, and the rinse tank. A heat source is provided to heat the rinse fluid. The heat source may be a prime mover or a hydraulic pump, wherein waste heat is scavenged therefrom.
Surface water chemical injection system and method of use
A system for dispersing a chemical in a surface water body includes an aerator device, having an injector positioned at a bottom of the surface water body; and a holding tank to store the chemical adjacent to the surface water body; and a metering pump connected to the holding tank, the metering pump having a computing device to program the metering pump; the metering pump is programed to inject an amount of the chemical to the injector at a rate; and the injector disperses the chemical throughout the surface water body.
SPRAYER BOOM RECIRCULATION AND MIXING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SAME
A product dispensing system includes at least one recirculation network configured for communication with a system pump. The at least one recirculation network includes at least one sprayer boom tube and a plurality of product dispensers distributed along the at least one sprayer boom tube. A network pump is in communication with the at least one sprayer boom tube. The at least one recirculation network includes a dispensing configuration and a recirculation configuration. In the dispensing configuration the recirculation network is configured for communication with a supply tank and an agricultural product reservoir. In the recirculation configuration the recirculation network is isolated from the supply tank and the agricultural product reservoir, and the recirculation network includes a recirculation loop continuously extending through the network pump and the at least one sprayer boom tube.
APPLICATOR FOR PESTICIDES
A product applicator assembly including a housing having a first end and a second end;
a dispensing force; a dispensing device operatively attached to the dispensing force; at least one power source; a dispensing switch operatively attached to the dispensing force; a data operator electrically connected to an electrical power source. Also provided is a bait applicator and a method of using the applicator to apply bait.
Systems and methods for a product system of an agricultural applicator
A product system for an agricultural sprayer includes a product tank configured to store an agricultural product. A reclaim system can be configured to provide the agricultural product within a flow assembly to a product tank. A computing system can be communicatively coupled to the reclaim system. The computing system can be configured to receive information indicative of one or more characteristics of the agricultural product inputted into the fill station during a fill mode; detect termination of the fill mode; and activate a reclaim mode to move the agricultural product from the flow assembly to the product tank through activation of the reclaim system, wherein one or more operating conditions of the reclaim mode are based on the one or more characteristics of the agricultural product.
Agricultural system and method for preventing roll-back of an agricultural vehicle on a sloped surface
An agricultural method for preventing roll-back of an agricultural vehicle may include receiving a roll-back prevention input from a speed setting device indicative of a command to increase the transmission speed of the hydrostatic transmission while a service brake of the agricultural vehicle is engaged. Further, the method may include adjusting a speed mapping for the speed setting device from a predetermined speed mapping to a roll-back speed mapping in response to the roll-back prevention input, with the roll-back speed mapping being associated with a reduced speed range. Additionally, the method may include determining a transmission control command associated with a current position of the speed setting device based on the roll-back speed mapping and controlling an operation of the hydrostatic transmission to adjust the transmission speed based at least in part on the transmission control command.
TRACKED VEHICLE AND SYSTEM FOR SPRAYING
A tracked vehicle for spraying, a mixing platform or both. The tracked vehicle comprises an engine that powers both the propulsion of the tracked vehicle and the spraying of slurry. A mixing platform may be employed with the tracked vehicle and provides a blending tank for mixing ingredients to form a slurry for used by the tracked vehicle.
Intuitive work vehicle vision system for enhanced operator visibility
A work vehicle has display devices and cameras coupled to display feeds at display areas. The cameras include a first set on the first side, second side, and central location relative to the first FOV and a second set on a first side, second side, and central location relative to the second FOV. A control system is configured to: in a first mode, display a first set of feeds from the first side, second side, and central location of the display areas so that the feeds are arranged at the first side, second side, and central location relative to the first FOV; and in a second mode, display a second set of feeds from the first side, second side, and central location of the second set at display areas so that the feeds are arranged at the first side, second side, and central location relative to the second FOV.
Autonomous agricultural treatment system using map based targeting of agricultural objects
Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to an agricultural observation and treatment system and method of operation. The agricultural treatment system may determine a first real-world geo-spatial location of the treatment system. The system can receive captured images depicting real-world agricultural objects of a geographic scene. The system can associate captured images with the determined geo-spatial location of the treatment system. The treatment system can identify, from a group of mapped and indexed images, images having a second real-word geo-spatial location that is proximate with the first real-world geo-spatial location. The treatment system can compare at least a portion of the identified images with at least a portion of the captured images. The treatment system can determine a target object and emit a fluid projectile at the target object using a treatment device.
