A power take-off PTO connection mechanism (100) for mid mounted tools (101) of a utility vehicle (1000 includes three main assembly members: a frame attachment mechanism (108), a vertical moving frame (or cradle) (106), and a PTO assembly (128). The frame attachment mechanism (108) is fixed to the frame of the vehicle or tractor (1000). The PTO connection mechanism (100) of the present invention helps is easy and quick connection of the PTO shaft to a variety of tools (101) with the tractor. The PTO shaft remains in continuous contact with the tool power input once it is moved in an engaged position.

According to the invention, PTO connecting apparatus is provided. According to the invention, this comprises a vehicle PTO connecting device from which an accessory equipment PTO connecting device according to the invention is releasable and nonpositively connectable and couplable.

A working vehicle comprises a vehicle body, a quick hitch, a working implement connected to the vehicle body via the quick hitch, and a linkage interposed between the quick hitch and the vehicle body. The linkage is movable to raise and lower the quick hitch so as to locate the quick hitch at an optional height. The quick hitch can be inclined to a certain degree in a pitching direction of the vehicle body at the optional height defined by the linkage.

A coupling part of a vehicle coupling system has a positioning device for guiding a counter-coupling part into a fixing position during a coupling operation, and a fixing device is arranged moveably between a release position and a fixing setting, wherein, in the fixing setting, the fixing device can fix a counter-coupling part in the fixing position in a positionally secure manner.

A working device connected to a traveling vehicle having a prime mover and configured to perform an agricultural work, includes: a working portion to perform an agricultural work; an electric motor to be driven by electric power; a power transmission mechanism to which power generated by the electric motor is inputted, configured to transmit the power to the working portion; a regeneration resistor to consume a regenerative power generated in the electric motor; a switch portion to switch, between a connecting state and a shut-off state, a state established between the electric motor and the regeneration resistor; and a controller portion to control driving of the electric motor and switching of the switch portion.

A vehicle connection guidance system may include a sensor and a controller. The sensor is configured to be supported by a vehicle having a first width and a connection interface, the connection interface having a second width different than the first width and along which multiple connection points lie, wherein the sensor is to output steering angle signals. The Controller is configured to output presentation signals based upon the steering angle signals The presentation signals are to generate a visual presentation of a projected path of the width of the connection interface to an operator of the vehicle.

According to the present disclosure, a coupling plate is provided to form electrical, electronic, hydraulic and/or pneumatic connections. The coupling plate comprises an approximately flat base plate, at least two hydraulic connecting devices formed in the base plate, at least one electronic connecting device to provide an electronic connection between a control device of a vehicle and a control device of an accessory device, at least one electrical connecting device, a centring device with at least two coupling and/or counter coupling elements for the relative alignment of the connecting devices of the coupling plate and, if necessary, corresponding connections.

An adaptive operating device (1) for agricultural tractors includes two or more operating regions (2), each of which includes at least one manually operable operating element (3). The operating device (1) includes a detecting device (4) to detect the type of working apparatus (5) coupled to the tractor during use, a configuration device (6) cooperating with the detecting device (4) for configuring the functionality of an operating element (3) or operating region (2) for the type of coupled-on working apparatus (5), and at least one indicating element (7) of indicating a configuration of an operating region (2). Depending on the configuration, at least one operating element (3) can be changed with regard to its spatial position or can be configured with regard to direction or extent of movement.

A system for coupling an implement to a work vehicle includes a controller comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the controller is configured to receive a first signal indicative of a distance between a protrusion of a connector assembly of an arm of the work vehicle and a receiver assembly of the implement. While the first signal is less than a first threshold, the controller is configured to instruct a first actuator to rotate the connector assembly of the work vehicle, instruct a drive system to move the work vehicle toward the implement, instruct a second actuator to lift the arm of the work vehicle, or a combination thereof, such that the protrusion of the connector assembly engages a recess in the receiver assembly.

A vehicle connection guidance system may include a sensor and a controller. The sensor is configured to be supported by a vehicle having a first width and a connection interface, the connection interface having a second width different than the first width and along which multiple connection points lie, wherein the sensor is to output steering angle signals. The Controller is configured to output presentation signals based upon the steering angle signals The presentation signals are to generate a visual presentation of a projected path of the width of the connection interface to an operator of the vehicle.
