Further, the input/output unit includes a set-up assistant unit, which allows the operator to set up the driver assistance system using the virtual operating elements. Further, the set-up assistant unit may be configured depending on the working task determined by the operator.

A method and apparatus for automatically controlling ground speed of a work vehicle. The apparatus includes a speed sensor generating a vehicle speed signal, the speed sensor operatively connected to a controller. A traction device angle sensor generates an angle signal which represents an angle of the traction device with respect to an axis of the work vehicle, wherein the traction device angle sensor operatively connected to the controller. A vehicle guidance system is configured to generate a vehicle position signal, wherein the controller determines the ground speed of the vehicle based on at least one of: i) a tracking error of the vehicle relative to the vehicle position signal; ii) a planned curved vehicle path; iii) a planned location of the vehicle within a defined portion of a field; and iv) a planned path segment and an associated change in direction of travel of the work vehicle.

In one aspect, a system for monitoring an orientation of an agricultural implement during an agricultural operation is disclosed. The system may include a work vehicle and an agricultural implement coupled to the work vehicle and configured to be towed by the work vehicle. The system may include a vision-based sensor coupled to the work vehicle and a controller communicatively coupled to the vision-based sensor. The controller may include a processor and associated memory. The memory may store instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the controller to receive image data from the vision-based sensor; determine an orientation parameter based on the received image data; and initiate a corrective action based on the orientation parameter of the agricultural implement while the agricultural implement is being towed by the work vehicle. The orientation parameter may describe an orientation of the agricultural implement relative to the work vehicle.

A control system for an agricultural implement includes a controller configured to perform the following steps in response to determining that performance of a ground engaging tool is below a threshold performance. The controller is configured to adjust a speed of the agricultural implement to an adjusted speed. The controller is configured to raise the ground engaging tool to a target raised position in response to the speed of the agricultural implement being substantially equal to a first threshold speed. The controller is configured to adjust the speed of the agricultural implement to an initial speed in response to a position of the ground engaging tool being substantially equal to the target raised position. The controller is configured to lower the ground engaging tool to a target depth in response to the speed of the agricultural implement being substantially equal to a second threshold speed.

A swingarm includes a first swingarm leg oriented along a first horizontal plane, a main body extending upward and outward from a second end of the first swingarm leg, and a second swingarm leg extending from a second end of the main body along a second horizontal plane. The swingarm also includes a first bearing holder coupled to a first end of the first swingarm leg and a second bearing holder coupled to a second end of the second swingarm leg. The first bearing holder includes a cavity oriented horizontally to form a first pivot axis. The second bearing holder includes a cavity oriented vertically to form a second pivot axis. The first and second bearing holders are of the same construction.

Provided is a method of automatically combining a farm vehicle with a work machine including confirming a current position of the work machine, moving a farm vehicle into a range having a predetermined radius around the current position, and controlling the farm vehicle, on the basis of a current position and direction of a first coupling unit included in the work machine, so that the first coupling unit and a second coupling unit included in the farm vehicle are coupled to each other.

A remote tractor control system with a hand held remote control unit having an enable button that when actuated sends signals from a plurality of command buttons on the hand held remote control unit to a three point hitch controller, a transmission controller and an engine controller on a tractor. When not actuated, a rear switch module may be used to raise and lower the three point hitch or creep in forward or reverse, while the hand held remote control unit may display information about tractor condition from the engine controller.

An agricultural vehicle (10) includes at least one geospatial sensor (44) for locating the vehicle (1) within a geographic area (14); at least one event trigger; at least one actuator for actuating a component onboard the vehicle (10); and a headland management system (HMS) (30) for carrying out a headland turn sequence (HTS) at a predetermined location within the geographic area (14). The HMS (30) includes a memory (34) for storing at least a portion of an HTS, and a visual display (46) for displaying at least a portion of an HTS. The vehicle (10) is characterized in that the HMS (30) is configured to display a real-time map on the visual display (46), including a position of the vehicle (10) on the map, and at least one future HTS event forming at least part of an HTS. The HMS (30) is configured to allow an operator to modify at least one HTS event on the real-time map.

The present disclosure relates to a steering system for an agricultural machine. The steering system includes a first and second wheel assembly. Each wheel assembly includes an axle assembly including an axle, wheels rotatably connected to the axle, and a double-action hydraulic cylinder. In some embodiments, the double-action hydraulic cylinder is configured to pivot the wheels in either direction to indicate a direction of turn. In some embodiments, the double-action hydraulic cylinder of the first wheel assembly is hydraulically linked in its operation to an operation of the double-action hydraulic cylinder of the second wheel assembly.

A road transport system of a header of a harvesting machine includes two pairs of wheels and two wheel frames. Each wheel frame is connected to a pair of wheels. The two wheel frames are rotatable between a field operation position and a road transport position. A header of a harvesting machine includes two pairs of wheels and two wheel frames. Each wheel frame is connected to a pair of wheels. The two wheel frames are rotatable between a field operation position and a road transport position.
