A method and system for planning an optimized soil cultivation process of a field for anf agricultural combination is disclosed. The agricultural combination includes an agricultural production machine and a soil cultivating agricultural attachment. A planning control assembly is used to determine recommended actions for the soil cultivation process with an expert model using soil data of the field, wherein the soil data of the field is location-dependent.

A method and system for determining working heights independent of the type of coupling of a plurality of agricultural attachments using a sensor assembly is disclosed. The sensor assembly includes at least one sensor for recording measured data and a control assembly. The attachments may be coupled to an agricultural production machine by an equipment interface using different types of coupling. The attachments are temporarily coupled to the agricultural production machine using the different types of coupling. The control assembly determines the working heights independent of the type of coupling of the differently coupled attachments when in a coupled state by using the same sensor. The control assembly displays the working heights determined independent of the type of coupling by means of the agricultural production machine, and/or uses them to control and/or regulate the agricultural production machine.

A method and system for measuring a working height, such as an absolute working height, of a plurality of agricultural attachments using a sensor assembly is disclosed. The sensor assembly includes a sensor and at least one sensor holder. The sensor holder is mounted at mounting positions onto different attachments, with the sensor being reversibly mounted in the sensor holder at the mounting position. The sensor, in a mounted state, records measured data relating to a working height of the agricultural attachment and transmits the measured data to the control assembly. In turn, the control assembly determines the working height of the particular attachment from a calibration data set specific to the mounting position.

A system and method for controlling, such as pre-optimizing, agricultural work processes for agricultural combinations is disclosed. Agricultural combinations include an agricultural production machine and different agricultural attachments. A sensor assembly determines an absolute working height of the agricultural attachments using a sensor measuring data regarding the absolute working height. The agricultural combination includes a combination control assembly that controls and/or regulates machine parameters of the particular agricultural combination based on an optimization data set and the measured data obtained during the working process. An optimization control assembly determines the optimization data set from competing optimization goals, optimization data both apart from and relating to the combination. The sensor assembly determines the absolute working height of the different agricultural attachments using the same sensor, and the optimization data set suggests the optimized working height of the agricultural attachment and/or suggestions for optimized settings of other machine parameters of the agricultural combination.

A method and system for collecting agricultural measured data in an agricultural production machine that is combined with at least one agricultural attachment for fieldwork is disclosed. A sensor assembly is provided that has a sensor and a control assembly. The sensor may be integrated in combinations comprising (or consisting of) an agricultural production machine and a plurality of agricultural attachments. The sensor records measured data relating to at least one work quality parameter of the particular attachment and transmits it to the control assembly. In turn, the control assembly generates a common data set in a standardization routine from the measured data relating to the different attachments.

A method for automating an agricultural work task which is performed by a tillage device on an agricultural tractor includes modifying via a control unit at least one process control variable representing a working or operating parameter of the tillage device using feedback data which represent a field state of a field surface before or after tillage, generating via an imaging sensor a ground image of the field surface, and evaluating via a data processing unit the ground image to determine at least some of the feedback data. The data processing unit evaluates the ground image such that the ground image is used to determine the feedback data depending on the result of a monitoring of the field surface for visually covering air dust.

A work vehicle includes a travelling vehicle body; a work machine mounted on a rear portion of the travelling vehicle body to be capable of being lifted and lowered; a control unit for controlling lifting and lowering of the work machine; and a rear sensor provided on the rear portion of the travelling vehicle body and configured to detect an object present behind the travelling vehicle body. The control unit may be configured to set a regulation height based on a height where the rear sensor detects the work machine while the work machine is lifted and then regulate lifting of the work machine during work in such a manner that a height of the work machine is kept less than or equal to the regulation height.

The present disclosure relates to a method for adjusting a working depth of a plough implement, the plough implement comprising a plurality of ground engaging tools for penetrating and moving soil and a depth adjustment apparatus configured to adjust a working depth of at least one of the ground engaging tools, wherein the method comprises receiving control-data indicative of at least one of an operation the plough implement or a field condition of a field across which the plough implement is moved; and automatically controlling an operation of the depth adjustment apparatus in a manner that adjusts a working depth of the at least one ground engaging tool on the basis of the control-data received.

A soil monitoring system for an agricultural tillage implement includes a sensor configured to be coupled to a frame of the agricultural tillage implement. The sensor is configured to be directed toward a region of a soil surface. In addition, the sensor is configured to emit an output signal toward the region of the soil surface and to receive a return signal indicative of a profile of the soil surface within the region. Furthermore, the soil monitoring system includes a controller configured to identify a rough soil profile in response to determining that at least one variation in the profile of the soil surface within the region is greater than a first threshold value, and/or in response to determining that a number of variations in the profile of the soil surface within the region is greater than a second threshold value.

The present invention relates to a plough implement comprising a main frame supporting a plurality of first ground engaging tools, wherein the plough implement comprises a depth adjustment apparatus for moving a first ground engaging tool of the plurality of first ground engaging tools with respect to the main frame to enable adjustment of a working depth of the first ground engaging tool.
