UNIVERSAL TRACTOR IMPLEMENT
A universal tractor implement frame for attaching to the three point hitch or drawbar of a tractor including two longitudinal beams, two transverse struts arranged between and perpendicular to the two longitudinal beams, and two longitudinal stabilizers. Forward and Rear sets of frame legs are attached to the forward and rear struts, respectively and are configured to connect at their distal ends to the upper link of the tractor's three point hitch or drawbar. Connection plates are attached to the forward strut for connecting to the two lower links of the tractor's three point hitch or stabilizers. Various working tools may be attached to the beams, stabilizers, and/or to the struts of the universal frame for carrying out the work of prior art tractor implements.

CUSTOMIZABLE EQUIPMENT LIBRARY FOR COMMAND AND CONTROL SOFTWARE
An agricultural system includes agricultural equipment and a user interface. The agricultural equipment includes a command and control system and an equipment configuration code file. The command and control system, in operation, configures and controls the agricultural equipment based at least in part on the equipment configuration code file. The agricultural equipment comprises a work vehicle or an implement to be carried or towed by a work vehicle. The user interface displays information to, and receive inputs from a user for one or more data fields in the equipment configuration code file for the agricultural equipment. The data fields comprise a user-given name and at least one of a compatible implement, an accessory, or a task for which the agricultural equipment may be configured.

AGRICULTURAL PLANTER INCLUDING ADJUSTABLE ROW CLEANERS
An agricultural planter is operable in a travel direction and a travel velocity and configured to dispense seeds into a furrow formed within an agricultural surface. An adjustment assembly is for the agricultural planter and includes a bracket configured to be coupled to a frame of the agricultural planter and a debris cleaner coupled to the bracket. The debris cleaner is configured such that during operation of the agricultural planter the debris cleaner has, relative to the travel direction, a leading edge and a trailing edge. The debris cleaner is movable such that a distance between the leading and trailing edges in the travel direction is adjustable.

TRACTION MACHINE AND EQUIPMENT COMBINATION WITH DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
An agricultural machine arrangement includes at least one traction machine and at least one attachment device adapted to the traction machine with a driver assistance system optimizing the operation of the traction machine and/or of the respective attachment device. The drive assistance system includes a computing unit and at least one display unit, wherein the computing unit processes information generated by machine-internal sensor systems, external information and information storable in the computing unit. The driver assistance system is structured so that it forms an automatic traction machine adjusting unit and/or an automatic attachment device adjusting unit, wherein the respective automatic adjusting units independently of one another or as a function of one another bring about an “optimization” of the mode of operation of the traction machine and/or of the at least one attachment device.
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE SUPPLY SYSTEM
A method of operating a variable displacement pump in a pressurized fluid supply system for an agricultural vehicle, including maintaining a constant displacement of the pump as rotational speed of the input drive to the pump increases to a first value of 1500 rpm and thereafter adjusting the displacement of the pump to maintain a constant output fluid flow 230 L/min or reduced flow as rotational speed of the input drive to the pump increases beyond the first value to a maximum value of 2100 rpm.
ARRANGEMENT FOR DETERMINING THE PLUGGING POSITION OF A HOSE COUPLING ON A CONNECTION FIELD
An arrangement for determining a plugging position of a hose coupling on a connection field includes the connection field including a plurality of coupling sockets and a plurality of hose couplings in which each of the plurality of hose couplings is coupled to a corresponding one of the plurality of coupling sockets. The at least one hose coupling includes a receiving coil and each of the plurality of coupling sockets includes a transmitting coil. A data interface is disposed in communication with the receiving coil, and an evaluation unit is disposed in communication with the data interface. The receiving coil is configured to analyze an individual identifier retrievable at the transmitting coil during connection of the at least one hose coupling to one of the coupling sockets, and the identifier is transmitted via the data interface to the evaluation unit to determine the plugging position of the hose coupling.
REMOTE ADJUSTMENT OF A ROW UNIT OF AN AGRICULTURAL DEVICE
Agricultural devices, row unit adjustment systems, and methods of adjusting a depth of a furrow are provided. In some aspects, an agricultural device is adapted to plant seeds and includes a frame, a furrow opener coupled to the frame and adapted to cut a furrow including a depth, a sensor adapted to sense a characteristic associated with planting seeds and generate a signal associated with the sensed characteristic, and a processing unit receiving the signal associated with the sensed characteristic. The depth of the furrow is adjustable based on the signal associated with the sensed characteristic. Such characteristic may be a characteristic of the soil, a force applied to the agricultural device, or a position of a portion of the agricultural device.
