METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REGULATING A REAR POWER LIFT OF AN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION MACHINE
A method and system for regulating a rear power lift of an agricultural production machine in an agricultural combination is disclosed. The agricultural combination includes an agricultural production machine and an agricultural attachment. The agricultural attachment is connected to the agricultural production machine via a rear power lift of the agricultural production machine. The agricultural production machine includes a driver assistance system that regulates machine parameters of the rear power lift using position regulation and/or traction regulation on which a slip control is superimposed. The driver assistance system determines a target slip for slip regulation optimized for position regulation and/or traction regulation depending on at least one existing soil property and at least one existing tire property, and regulates the rear power lift to the optimized target slip.
System and method for monitoring the operational status of tools of an agricultural implement
A system for monitoring the operational status of ground-engaging tools of an agricultural implement. The system includes a frame and an assembly including an attachment structure configured to be coupled to the frame and a ground-engaging tool pivotably coupled to the attachment structure at a pivot point. The system further includes a shear pin at least partially extending through both the attachment structure and ground-engaging tool to prevent pivoting of the ground-engaging tool about the pivot point. Additionally, the system includes a sensor configured to detect a load applied through a pivot member extending through at least one of the frame or assembly at any pivot point between the frame and the ground engaging tool. The system further includes a controller, communicatively coupled to the sensor, configured to determine a change in the working condition of the shear pin based on the detected load applied through the pivot member.
TRACTOR
A tractor includes a three-point link mechanism to which a work apparatus to be attached so as to be able to move upward and downward, a hydraulic drive to perform a swing operation to swing the three-point link mechanism, a load receiver to swing in response to a tow load being applied from the work apparatus when the work apparatus performs ground work while being towed by the vehicle body, and a link mechanism to transmit an amount of operation for the swing operation to the hydraulic drive according to an amount of swing of the load receiver. The link mechanism includes, at a most upstream position, an interlocking swing arm to swing in conjunction with the swing of the load receiver about a swing axis that is different from a swing axis of the load receiver, the load receiver includes a first portion to press the interlocking swing arm that includes a second portion contactable with the first portion so to be pressed by the first portion, and a contact position of the first and the second portions.
System and method for detecting a plug of a tool of a tillage implement
A system for detecting the operational status of a ground engaging tool of a tillage implement including an agricultural implement including a frame and a tool assembly supported relative to the frame. The ganged tool assembly includes a toolbar coupled to the frame and one or more ground engaging tools coupled to the toolbar. The system further includes a sensor coupled to the tool assembly and configured to capture data indicative of a load acting on the one or more ground engaging tools. Additionally, the system includes a controller configured to monitor the data received from the sensor and compare at least one monitored value associated with the load acting on the ground engaging tool(s). Moreover, the controller is further configured to identify the ground engaging tool(s) as being plugged when the monitored value(s) differs from the predetermined threshold value.

Traveling vehicle
A traveling vehicle includes a controller to control a posture of a work machine via a connector. The controller observes whether a farm field surface on which the traveling vehicle travels and the work machine maintain a predetermined positional relationship therebetween, and controls the posture of the work machine when a positional relationship between the farm field surface and the work machine changes from the predetermined positional relationship, so that the positional relationship thus changed is reset to the predetermined positional relationship.
POWERTRAIN SYSTEM AND MANAGEMENT
An agricultural tractor may include a powertrain configured to drive one or more wheels of the agricultural tractor.
