System for monitoring the displacement of a ground engaging tool

A system for monitoring the displacement of a ground engaging tool of an agricultural implement includes a controller of the system may be configured to monitor a magnitude of a displacement defined between a current position of a ground engaging tool of the implement and a predetermined ground engaging tool position. The controller may also be configured to initiate a first control action when it is determined that the magnitude of the displacement of the ground engaging tool exceeds a first threshold displacement value. Moreover, the controller may further be configured to initiate a second control action when it is determined that the magnitude of the displacement of the ground engaging tool exceeds a second threshold displacement value, with the second threshold displacement value corresponding to a greater displacement relative to the predetermined ground engaging tool position than the first displacement threshold value.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING THE DISPLACEMENT OF A GROUND ENGAGING TOOL OF AN AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT

In one aspect, a system for monitoring the displacement of a ground engaging tool of an agricultural implement. A controller of the system may be configured to monitor a magnitude of a displacement defined between a current position of a ground engaging tool of the implement and a predetermined ground engaging tool position.

STABLE OPERATION OF A DISC TILLAGE TOOL AT HIGH OPERATIONAL SPEEDS

A tillage tool achieves stability at higher speed ranges by providing stabilization with additional damping through damping elements on the front support wheels and on the constant level linkage and on the rear tool. The tillage tool maintains maximally one longitudinally positioned unsuspended load path to the ground provided by unsuspended depth gauging wheels longitudinally positioned parallel to a front to rear rocking axis to allow for constant settings throughout the depth, speed, and field condition ranges.

Spring guide

An agricultural tillage implement includes: a frame member; and a leveling blade assembly. The leveling blade assembly includes: a leveling blade; an arm coupling the frame member with the leveling blade; and a spring assembly including a spring and a spring guide assembly, the spring and the spring guide assembly being coupled with the arm and the frame member, the spring guide assembly including a sleeve which is slidably related to the spring and which is made of an ultra-high-molecular-weight (UHMW) plastic.
