Disclosed is a small-scale land prep and maintenance equipment system that includes a universal frame configured for use with multiple implements. The universal frame includes a tongue element that includes an implement connection point (such as a through-hole or threaded hole) configured for receiving a saddle and bolt aspect of an implement. Advantageously, the implement connection point of the universal frame and the saddle of the implement provide for a robust and rigid connection between the universal frame and an implement while also enabling quick changeover of landscaping implements. Moreover, because the universal frame may be used on any number of implements, the cost of an integrated frame in each implement is avoided.

A more robust attachment member or pin is provided for use with farm implements that are attached to a farm vehicle by a quick hitch adapter. The attachment member includes an elongated member having a length and extending between a first end and a second end; and at least three surfaces extending longitudinally along a substantial portion of the elongated member between the first and second ends, the at least three surfaces having at least two different radii. Two of the surfaces are either generally flat or have a very large radius. Two other surfaces, disposed between the generally flat surfaces, have a smaller radius and the two other surfaces may have the same or different radii.

A ground engagement tool, such as a universal coulter, with an integrated offset to facilitate multiple mounting configurations. In some embodiments, the ground engagement tool includes a polygonal shank, defining, for example, an octagonal or hexagonal cross-section. The polygonal shank enables rotational offset to be secured in discrete rotational orientations. A lower bracket is mounted to a spindle, providing an angular displacement range for angular deflection of the ground engagement tool. The spindle includes a key structure that complements the angular orientations of the polygonal shank so that the lower bracket can be compensated for the rotational offset. A rotational indexing plate enables selection of one of a plurality of angular displacement ranges. Retention rods may be implemented for setting a depth of the tool. A dirt deflector may also be provided, dimensioned to prevent spewing dirt from landing on adjacent plant rows and to prevent fouling in muddy conditions.

An agricultural sprayer includes a purge tank, a nozzle configured to dispense an agricultural fluid onto an underlying field, and a downstream valve configured to selectively permit the air from the main fluid conduit to flow to the nozzle. A computing system is configured to initiate a purging operation to purge the agricultural fluid present within the nozzle and, upon receipt of the input, control an operation of a main valve such that the main valve is moved to an opened position to allow the air to flow through a main fluid conduit. In addition, the computing system is configured to monitor a first air pressure associated with the purge tank and a second air pressure associated with the nozzle. Furthermore, the computing system is configured to control an operation of the downstream valve during the purging operation based on the monitored first and second air pressures.

A conversion unit is used for indirect attachment of a mounted implement to a working machine. The mounted implement features a single-point connector, while the conversion unit features both a multi-point mounting arrangement configured for removable coupling to a multi-point attachment arrangement on the working machine, and a single-point coupler configured for removable coupling to the single-point connector of the mounted implement. With the conversion unit in an operating position attached to the attachment arrangement of the working machine, coupling of the mounted implement to the conversion unit via engagement of the single-point coupler with the single-point connector indirectly attaches the mounted implement to the working machine in a mounted position thereon. A shared upright axis of the single-point coupler and single-point connector allows angular adjustment or free-swiveling of the implement about the shared axis when a corresponding lock pin is withdrawn from locking position that blocks such movement.

A forward folding agricultural implement frame has a center frame with pivotally connected wings that fold forward for storage and laterally for use. A pair of draft links connects the wings to a telescopic hitch that extends forward from the center frame. A pivot pin operably mounted to a forward portion of the telescopic hitch defines a generally vertical pivot axis. A pivot link is connected to the pivot pin to pivot about the generally vertical pivot axis. The pivot link having a first portion on one side of the pivot pin and a second portion on an opposite of the pivot pin from the first portion. The draft links are pivotally connected to the first and second portions of the pivot link. When the wings are flexed in opposite directions (or when one wing is neutral and the other wing is flexed), the pivot link will permit opposite relative movement of the draft link ends relative to the inner hitch, which reduces internal stress and prevents permanent strain of the components.

A header is removably attached to lift arms of an agricultural harvester and by a tilt cylinder pivotable about an axis A between an elevated installation position and a lower operational position. A perch assembly including a perch is positioned adjacent axis A to remotely pivot the tilt cylinder between the installation and operating positions and a downwardly facing hook shaped latching device is mounted on the tilt cylinder to engage and attach to a mounting pin on the header.

An agricultural trailed implement includes a chassis with tongue for hitching to a tractor. A housing is integrated into a loadbearing section of the tongue. A pump or generator is mounted inside the housing and is driven by a PTO shaft connected to an attached tractor. The pump housing may define a sump which provides a fluid reservoir to supply the pump in a hydraulic circuit.

A shifting module for releasable securement on the lower two arms of a conventional three-point hitch of a tractor and for laterally shifting a pull-type implement mounted on the shifting module. The shifting module includes a lateral support having a pin on either end section for grasping and securement by the lower two arms of the three-point hitch. A traveler is mounted on the lateral support and a linear actuator operates to shift the traveler along the lateral support to any desired position along the lateral support. A hitch on the traveler is used for mounting of the pull-type implement so that the implement can be reliably and accurately positioned along a desired path.

The present invention introduces a tractor drawbar adapter designed to enhance hitching compatibility between tractors and vehicles. The adapter features a first end that effortlessly slides over the tractor drawbar and securely locks in position using a lock pin or drop pin. At the opposite end, a second end with different dimensions is provided to accommodate a receiver hitch commonly found in vehicles. The first end measures 1 inch, while the second end measures 2 inches, ensuring versatility and compatibility with various drawbars and receiver hitches. The receiver hitch, when attached, includes a ball mount on its opposing end, enabling seamless connection with implements or trailers. Additionally, the adapter incorporates a locking mechanism to firmly secure the receiver hitch, providing stability during towing operations. This innovative solution streamlines the process of connecting tractors to vehicles, offering improved efficiency and safety in agricultural tasks.
