Predictive machine characteristic map generation and control system
One or more information maps are obtained by an agricultural work machine. The one or more information maps map one or more agricultural characteristic values at different geographic locations of a field. An in-situ sensor on the agricultural work machine senses an agricultural characteristic as the agricultural work machine moves through the field. A predictive map generator generates a predictive map that predicts a predictive agricultural characteristic at different locations in the field based on a relationship between the values in the one or more information maps and the agricultural characteristic sensed by the in-situ sensor. The predictive map can be output and used in automated machine control.
Combine harvester control interface for operator and/or remote user
Operating conditions corresponding to a harvesting operation being performed by a mobile harvesting machine are detected along with a priority of a first performance pillar metric relative to a second performance pillar metric. An operating characteristic of the mobile harvesting machine is detected and a performance pillar metric value is identified for the first performance pillar metric based on the detected operating characteristic. A performance limitation corresponding to the first performance pillar metric is identified based on the detected operating conditions and an aggressiveness setting is detected that is indicative of an operating settings change threshold. It is then determined whether a settings change is to be performed based on the first performance pillar metric value, the priority of the first performance pillar metric, the first performance limitation and the settings change threshold and if the settings change is to be performed, a settings change actuator is controlled to execute the settings change.

AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH AN IMPROVED WEIGHING MEANS
An agricultural vehicle including a container, which is mounted on at least one train of wheels, wherein the container rests by way of fixation brackets and load cells or weight sensors, preferably directly, i.e. without use of an intermediate chassis, on one axle or more forming the train of wheels. The vehicle container is mounted on the axle or each of the axles of the train under consideration by way of at least two pairs of load cells, wherein each pair consists of two load cells situated on opposite sides of a vertical plane parallel to the vertical planes containing the axes of the axles of a multi-axle train.
Systems and methods for product system of an agricultural applicator
A product system for an agricultural sprayer includes a product tank configured to store a volume of an agricultural product. A fill station is configured to accept the agricultural product from an off-board source. A flow assembly is fluidly coupled with the fill station and is configured to direct the agricultural product into a product tank from the conduit. A reclaim system is configured to provide the agricultural product within the flow assembly to the product tank. A computing system is communicatively coupled to the reclaim system. The computing system is configured to receive inputs indicative of activation of a fill mode, detect termination of the fill mode, and activate a reclaim mode to move the agricultural product from at least the conduit to the product tank through activation of the reclaim system.
