Agricultural Implements having Imager Systems and Related Methods and Systems

A system includes an agricultural implement and a tractor for pulling the implement. The implement includes a frame supporting at least one ground-engaging tool and at least one image imager system coupled to a longitudinal end of the frame. The tractor includes a central controller, wherein the at least imager system is operably coupled to the central controller. The central controller is configured to receive image data from an imager system, analyze the image data to identify at least one mark formed in a soil surface, and responsive to identifying the at least one mark, cause feedback regarding a current position and orientation of the implement and an ideal position and orientation of the implement to be output via an input/output device.

Working vehicle

A working vehicle includes a steering handle, a vehicle body to travel with either manual steering by the steering handle or automatic steering of the steering handle based on a traveling reference line, an operator provided to the vehicle body, and a controller to terminate the automatic steering when the operator is operated under the automatic steering.

Windrow merger attachment

A windrower includes a header having a crop cutting and a crop conditioning mechanism for conditioning crop material severed from the field and for discharging the conditioned material in a rearwardly directed stream as the windrower moves across the field. The windrower has a crop merger attachment with a conveyor configured to receive crop material from the crop conditioning mechanism and direct the crop material to a side of the windrower to form a windrow on the ground to the side of the windrower when in an operation position or to direct the crop material to the ground beneath the windrower when in a nonoperational position.

Working vehicle

A working vehicle includes a steering device to steer a vehicle body, a working device connected to the vehicle body, an automatic steering controller to perform automatic steering of the steering device based on a difference between a scheduled traveling line and a position of the vehicle body, and a parameter changer to change a control parameter of the automatic steering depending on the working device connected to the vehicle body.

System for connecting implement to mobile machinery
10455753 · 2019-10-29 ·

An apparatus for connecting an implement to a three point hitch of mobile machinery comprises two frameworks, a first framework and a second framework. The first framework is disposed in a first plane and comprises at least two parallel, vertically-spaced apart, laterally extending rails. There are three attachments supported by the first framework for attachment to the three-point hitch. The second framework is slidable generally in the plane of the first framework and is mounted on the rails to slide laterally along the rails. At least two connectors are supported by the slidable second framework for connecting the second framework to an implement that can be pulled or pushed by the mobile machinery. A driver is connected to the first framework and connected to the second framework for driving the second framework laterally back and forth along the rails of the first framework.
