An agricultural vehicle includes a chassis; a header carried by the chassis and including a cutter mechanism, the header being adjustable in a vertical direction; a swath roller carried by the chassis behind the header; a roller actuator connected to the swath roller and configured to adjust the swath roller in the vertical direction; and a controller coupled to the roller actuator. The controller is configured for: detecting when the header raises in the vertical direction; recording a header raising point where the header raises; determining when the swath roller reaches the header raising point; and signaling the roller actuator to raise the swath roller when the swath roller reaches the header raising point.

The invention relates to a system for adjusting the height of an agricultural implement, including an arm that can be controlled to raise and lower the implement, a height measuring sensor, and a calculator configured to provide a control set point for the height of the arm on the basis of the measurements obtained by the height measuring sensor. The height measuring sensor is an imaging system including at least one camera mounted such that the sensor can form an image of a scene located in front of the agricultural implement in the direction of travel of the vehicle equipped with the arm. A computer processing unit is configured to produce, on the basis of the images delivered by the at least one camera, a 3D reconstruction representative of the depth of the aforementioned scene.

A remotely positionable stabilizer wheel arrangement for a towable agricultural it utilizes an electronic control unit that receives an input signal indicative of a desired position of the stabilizer wheel, and/or a desired depth of penetration of tillage tools operatively attached to the front and rear of the implement frame, to automatically control a hydraulic positioning cylinder of the remotely positionable stabilizer wheel arrangement to position and hold the stabilizer wheel at the desired position of the stabilizer wheel.

An autonomous agricultural system comprising an implement configured to perform an agricultural operation. The system additionally comprises an autonomous power unit for autonomously propelling the implement. The system further comprises a coupling assembly configured to connect the implement to the power unit. The coupling assembly provides at least six degrees of freedom of movement between the implement and the power unit.

The present invention relates to an agricultural system for spraying an area of a cultivated field, including a spraying equipment. The spraying equipment comprises a first and a second supporting structures extending perpendicularly to the travel direction of the agricultural system when operating. The first supporting structure comprises a first array of nozzles separated from each other by a first distance while the second supporting structure comprises a second array of nozzles separated from each other by a second distance smaller than the first distance. The spatial resolution of spot sprays that may be sprayed by the second array of nozzles is higher than the spatial resolution of spot sprays that may be sprayed by the first array of nozzles when the first and second supporting structures are at the same height such that the first and second arrays of nozzles may perform respectively low and high-resolution spot sprays.

An agricultural toolbar employs at least two wing assemblies for following the contour of the land in a working position and foldable to a transport position for transit on public roads. The principal use in working position benefits from having a wide range of movement to accommodate variations in land contours and soil types. The principal use in transport mode benefits from having a compact configuration to better meet road regulations. End-uses that condition cultivatable land at multiple locations will benefit from the toolbar.

A slip control system for an off-road vehicle includes a control system configured to output a signal indicative of a first action if a magnitude of slippage of the off-road vehicle relative to a soil surface is greater than a first threshold value and less than or equal to a second threshold value. Furthermore, the control system is configured to output a signal indicative of a second action, different than the first action, if the magnitude of slippage is greater than the second threshold value.
