A directional vibration control apparatus, which includes a tunable vibration absorber (TVA) for a vibratory compactor machine is provided. The TVA includes a frame mounting structure that is configured to mechanically interface with a frame of the vibratory compactor to provide a fixed attachment of the TVA to the frame of the vibratory compactor, a TVA carrier that extends from the frame mounting structure into an interior portion of a drum of the vibratory compactor machine, a resilient element that includes a first portion that is fixedly attached relative to the TVA carrier and a second portion that includes a degree of freedom of movement relative to the TVA carrier, and a mass that is attached to the second portion of the resilient element and that includes the degree of freedom of movement relative to the TVA carrier.

A work vehicle includes a plurality of traveling devices for driving traveling, a plurality of articulated link mechanisms having at least two or more joints and supporting the plurality of traveling devices to a vehicle body, with allowing the plurality of traveling devices to be elevated/lowered independently of each other, a driving mechanism capable of changing respective postures of the plurality of articulated link mechanisms independently of each other, and a plurality of turning mechanisms configured to support the respective plurality of the articulated link mechanisms, with allowing the link mechanisms to be orientation-changeable about a vertical axis.

A wheel assembly of an agricultural implement includes a wheel and a wheel frame supporting the wheel. The wheel frame is configured to pivotally couple to a toolbar of the agricultural implement, and the wheel frame is configured to rotate between a lowered position and a raised position. The wheel assembly also includes a mount configured to fixedly couple to the toolbar. In addition, the wheel assembly includes a linkage assembly configured to control rotation of the wheel frame between the raised position and the lowered position. The wheel assembly also includes a fastener configured to selectively engage the mount and the linkage assembly while the wheel frame is in the lowered position to block rotation of the wheel frame.

A mobile tower for use with an irrigation system comprises a frame, first and second spindles, a first height adjustment assembly, and a second height adjustment assembly. The frame is configured to support a fluid-carrying conduit of the irrigation system. The first and second spindles each include a generally upright beam. The first height adjustment assembly is rigidly connected to a first side of the frame and movably coupled to the first spindle. The first height adjustment assembly includes a first mechanism configured to raise or lower the first side of the frame relative to the first spindle. The second height adjustment assembly is rigidly connected to a second side of the frame and movably coupled to the second spindle. The second height adjustment assembly includes a second mechanism configured to raise or lower the second side of the frame relative to the second spindle.

A load carrying vehicle including: a chassis; a load carrying container connected to the chassis; a plurality of wheels; a suspension arrangement coupling the wheels to the chassis; wherein the suspension arrangement is configured to controllably lower the container such that the container makes contact with at least two wheels.

A work vehicle including: a first link having one end portion supported by a vehicle body so as to be pivotable; a second link having one end portion pivotally coupled to the other end portion of the first link so as to be pivotable, and another end portion that supports a travel wheel; a first hydraulic cylinder capable of changing a swing posture of the first link; and a second hydraulic cylinder capable of changing a swing posture of the second link relative to the first link. The action of the first hydraulic cylinder is controlled such that a swing position of the first link is located at a target position, based on the result of detection performed by a position detection sensor, and the action of the second hydraulic cylinder is controlled such that thrust has a target value, based on the results of detection performed by pressure sensors.

An agricultural baler includes a hydraulic circuit with a first hydraulic cylinder connected between the first end of the first axle and the chassis, and a second hydraulic cylinder connected between the second end of the first axle and the chassis. At least one sensor senses a position of the chassis relative to the first axle. An electrical processing circuit is coupled with the hydraulic circuit and the at least one sensor. The electrical processing circuit controls operation of the hydraulic circuit, and includes an operator input device for selectively: 1) raising the chassis of the baler relative to the first axle, 2) lowering the chassis of the baler relative to the first axle, or 3) automatically returning the chassis of the baler to a predetermined operating height relative to the first axle, dependent upon an output signal from the at least one sensor.

A vehicle includes a chassis, ground-engaging elements configured to support the chassis, support assemblies supporting the chassis on the ground-engaging elements, adjustable axles configured to change a lateral distance from the chassis to each of the support assemblies, and a controller configured to move the chassis laterally along the axles without changing a track width between ground-engaging elements on opposing sides of the chassis. Disclosed methods may be used to remove and install application systems on the vehicle.
