An agricultural work vehicle according to an aspect of the invention that can monitor a state of the agricultural work vehicle when the agricultural work vehicle performs agricultural work using a working machine which is attached thereto includes: a vehicle body; a working machine that is attached to the front or rear of the vehicle body and performs agricultural work; an engine that generates a driving force for movement of the vehicle body and work of the working machine; and a monitoring device that determines at least one of whether there is an abnormality in a temperature of a coolant for cooling the engine, whether there is an abnormality in a pressure of an engine oil supplied to the engine, and whether there is an abnormality in the engine when the working machine performs work using the driving force.

Disclosed are hay bale spikes for tractors used to carry hay bales. A hay bale carrying system includes a frame attachable to a tractor. The frame includes a first spike rigidly connected and a second spike movably attached parallel to the first spike, where the second spike is movable to a position that is not parallel to the first spike. An opening in the frame may position a pin to matingly accept the second spike that includes a lever arm on the opposite side of the pin from the spike. The lever arm may include a connector near its end connectable to a hydraulic cylinder such that expansion and contraction of the hydraulic cylinder provides leverage through the pin to the second spike to move the second spike from a first parallel position relative to the first spike to a second non-parallel position.

A hydraulic or electric de-thatcher power lift assembly attachment that provides control while de-thatching because it is stable and efficient and can be lifted with ease at any time when dealing with difficult terrain. In an example embodiment, the hydraulic version fits hydraulic equipped tractors. In an alternative embodiment, the device may be used with an electric motor from the tractor, or can have its own dedicated battery for power. A hydraulic or electric lift assembly is also provided for a lawn aerator. The various attachments are designed to replace the standard manual lift lever on standard aerators. The attachments can be used on tractors that have hydraulics built into the tractor or on tractors with an electric motor.
