This document relates to an agricultural implement with hydraulic functions and a method of controlling an agricultural implement comprising receiving a speed signal which represents the advancing speed of the agricultural implement, receiving a control signal from a first user interface, allowing, if the speed fulfils a predetermined criterion, the activation of a first actuator function and of a second actuator function based on a control signal, and, if the speed does not fulfil the criterion, restricting the possibility of activating the first actuator function based on a control signal.

An agricultural machine includes a center section having a first aperture, a wheel supporting the center section, a wing section connected to the center section and having a second aperture, and a hinge positioned between the center section and the wing section to permit the wing section to pivot about the center section. The hinge includes a pin having a first end and a second end. The pin extends through the first and second apertures to connect the wing section to the center section. A first fastener engages the center section or the wing section and is adjacent to the first end of the pin to thereby retain the pin in the first and second apertures. A second fastener engages the center section or the wing section and is adjacent to the second end of the pin to thereby retain the pin in the first and second apertures.

The invention relates to an agricultural cultivator having a frame (10), which is designed to be self-propelled in a transport direction (T) or to be pulled by a tractor (5) in the transport direction (T), with a part of the frame (10) extending transversely to the transport direction (T) as a support (11), and with a plurality of individually mountable cultivator elements (20), which can be positioned side by side and spaced from one another on the support (11), wherein the support (11) is constructed from a plurality of support sections (12, 13, 14, 15) and has a folding mechanism (30) which enables the support sections (12, 13, 14, 15) to be folded onto one another about folding axes (31, 32, 33) that extend parallel to the transport direction (T). In addition, one or more mounting rails are provided. The mounting rails can be removably mounted on the support. The cultivator elements can be mounted on the mounting rail or rails.

A farm implement supported by at least one wheeled support mounted on a pivot arm extending from a wing and at least one tracked support on a main carrier. The tracked support can be rotated about a primary rotational axis and the wheeled support being rotatable about a secondary rotational axis. The pivot arm can be rotated to position the wheeled support to elevate or lower the wing. The rotational of the pivot arm also changes the alignment of the secondary rotational axis of the winged support relative to the primary rotational axis of the tracked support to prevent berming when maneuvering the farm implement.

An agricultural tillage implement has a main frame section, a left wing section, and a right wing section. Lift wheels and gauge wheels are actuated by hydraulic cylinders supplied by a hydraulic system. Solenoid valves connect groups of hydraulic cylinders to each other and to bypass circuits. The solenoid valves and the bypass circuits function to selectively allow coordinated control and individual control of the lift wheels and gauge wheels. The hydraulic system has at least one hydraulic flow divider and combiner dividing hydraulic flow and pressure between at least one left hydraulic circuit and at least one right hydraulic circuit. The at least one hydraulic flow divider and combiner functions to coordinate the motion of the left rear lift wheels and gauge wheels, and the right rear lift wheels and gauge wheels, and may be overridden by bypass valves.

A land roller is provided with an over-center locking linkage arrangement to help lock a roller frame of the land roller into a raised transport configuration to reduce the likelihood that a failure of the actuator system could cause the roller frame to inadvertently fall and injure a person or cause damage to property. The land roller may be further provided with actuators that are controlled in temporal series from a single controller to simplify and increase the safety of both converting the land roller between the transport configuration and a working configuration and converting side frame sections of the land roller between folded and unfolded positions.
