Automatic selective control valve (SVC) configuration detection, and operation assignment, directionality confirmation, and calibration for towable implements towable by work vehicles
Systems and methods provide automatic assignment of control of a plurality of hydraulic circuits of an associated work vehicle to a plurality of operation systems of an implement. A hydraulic circuit assignment control unit includes a processor, a memory device, logic stored in the memory device, and a communication circuit operatively coupled with the processor. The processor executes the logic to associate an activation of a first hydraulic circuit of the plurality of hydraulic circuits of the associated work vehicle with a physical exercise of an operation system of the plurality of operation systems of the associated implement, and generates pairing assignment data representative of the association of the activated first hydraulic circuit with the physical exercise of the operation system of the implement. The logic generates directionality confirmation and calibration data that is communicated to the plurality of operation systems with the pairing assignment data.
Soil monitoring system for an agricultural tillage implement
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.
Soil-Working Device for Row Crops
A soil-working device (1) for row crops, comprising: a frame (2) which extends transversely with respect to the direction of travel (F) in a working position and which has a base segment (2A) and at least one boom (2B) which is able to be folded with respect to the base segment (2A); a folding device (3) for moving the at least one foldable boom (2B) between the working position and transport position in which it is folded by at least approximately 90 degrees; and a plurality of tool carriers (6a-6i) which are arranged on the frame via in each case a remotely adjustable height-guiding device (7a-7i), wherein soil-working tools (9a) assigned to individual plant rows (8) are arranged on the tool carriers (6a-6i). To provide a soil-working device which can be moved reliably between the working position and the transport position, there is provision that the folding device (3) and at least the height-guiding devices (7d-7f) of tool carriers (6d-6f) arranged on the base segment (2A) are coupled to one another by means of a, preferably hydraulic, coupling control device in such a way that, for each movement of a boom (2B) from the working position into the transport position, the height-guiding devices (7d-7f) of tool carriers (6d-6f) arranged on the base segment (2A) move the tool carriers (6d-6f) into a position in which they are lowered relative to the frame (2).

TOOLBAR WITH HYDRAULIC HEIGHT CONTROL
An agricultural toolbar has a center section and opposite wings which are horizontally foldable between transport and field positions. The toolbar has a hydraulic system which is very adaptable to many different hydraulically controlled features and options, without sacrificing the primary purpose of the system, which is accurately controlling the operating height of the toolbar, to achieve optimal planting depth of modern precision seed and fertilizer application systems.
