In one aspect, a system for detecting tripping of ground engaging tools on an agricultural implement may include a ground engaging tool coupled to an implement frame. Furthermore, the system may include a motion sensor installed on the implement frame, with the motion sensor configured to capture data indicative of motion of the implement frame. Moreover, the system may include a controller configured to monitor the motion of the implement frame based on the data received from the motion sensor. In addition, the controller may be further configured to determine when the ground engaging tool has tripped based on the monitored motion.

A system for automatically determining a trip magnitude of a ground engaging tool of an agricultural implement includes a ground-engaging system having an attachment structure coupled to a frame of an agricultural implement, a ground-engaging tool rotatably coupled to the attachment structure at a joint, and a biasing element configured to bias the ground-engaging tool towards a predetermined ground-engaging position. The system further includes a trip sensor configured to generate data indicative of a magnitude of rotation of the ground-engaging tool, the trip sensor being at least partially received within the biasing element. Additionally, the system includes a computing system communicatively coupled to the trip sensor, the computing system being configured to determine the magnitude of rotation of the ground-engaging tool based at least in part on the data generated by the trip sensor.

An accessory mount comprises: a lateral bar having a first end and a second end opposite the first end; a first arm connected to the first end of the lateral bar and terminating in a distal end; and a second arm pivotally connected to the second end of the lateral bar and terminating in a distal end. The first and second arms of the accessory mount are configured to engage respective frame portions of a mower or other turf or grounds care equipment, and the pivoting or movement of the second arm relative to the lateral bar adjusts a distance between the distal end of the first arm and the distal end of the second arm. A first clamping assembly may be connected to the first arm, and a second clamping assembly may be connected to the second arm to engage the respective frame portions of the article of turf or grounds care equipment.

The present invention relates to a head for attaching an agricultural tool to a support beam configured to be towed along a longitudinal axis, the support beam extending substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis, said head including a mounting bracket assembly configured to mount to the support beam at a location along a length of the support beam, and enable attachment of the agricultural tool such that the agricultural tool, when attached, suspends from the clamped mounting bracket assembly, the mounting bracket assembly being mountable to the support beam such that a tool attachment portion of the mounting bracket assembly is forwardly disposed, enabling the agricultural tool to be attached at a fore or central position along the longitudinal axis relative to the transverse support beam, or rearwardly disposed, enabling the agricultural tool to be attached at the central or an aft position along the longitudinal axis relative to the transverse support beam.

In the case of a soil cultivation device with multiple harrow tines, the harrow tines are fastened to levers, which are mounted to pivot on tie bars of the supporting frame via carriers. The operating position of the harrow tines is defined by the levers being adjacent to tie bars, and the harrow tines are prestressed into the operating position by springs assigned to them in the form of pneumatic cylinders.

A shank assembly for an agricultural tillage implement including a support arm, a shank connected to the support arm, a point connected to the shank, and a float monitoring system. The float monitoring system includes a first sensor for sensing a home position, a second sensor connected to the support arm and configured for sensing an angular position of the support arm relative to the frame of the agricultural tillage implement, and an electronic control unit operably connected to the first sensor and the second sensor. The electronic control unit is configured for comparing the home position and the angular position of the support arm and determining a float of the shank as the shank is towed in a forward direction of travel.
