A wheel suspension unit for a motor vehicle having a longitudinal link, having a first end for pivotable vehicle-side connection, a second end for connection to a wheel carrier, and a blade-like link portion resilient in the direction of the transverse axis (Y) and rigid transversely relative thereto. The wheel suspension reduces the number of components by providing a longitudinal link having a resilient portion resilient toward the longitudinal axis (X), wherein the longitudinal link is at least partially produced from a fiber-reinforced plastics material.

A leaf spring assembly for a wheel suspension of a motor vehicle including a leaf spring resiliently supporting of a wheel carrier on a vehicle body of the motor vehicle. The leaf spring has a first end portion, and a diametrically or longitudinally, opposite second end portion fastened, pivotably mounted, to the vehicle. The leaf spring includes a suspension portion extending between the two end portions. The leaf spring includes two spring leaves held pressed one against the other by a first clamp in the suspension portion and are held pressed one against the other by a second clamp distanced or longitudinally spaced from the first clamp. The position of the second clamp, its position on the leaf spring, is variable in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the leaf spring.

There is disclosed a mobile autonomous agricultural system comprising a powered mobile unit for carrying agricultural equipment, and configured to move along rows of crops. The powered mobile unit comprises a chassis extending along a longitudinal axis defining an inner zone to receive the row of crops, and an actuator which is moveable between a fully extended position and a fully retracted position to respectively raise or lower the height of the chassis above the ground. At least one distance sensor is disposed on the powered mobile unit and configured output respective distance signals relating to the distance of objects from the respective distance sensor. A controller is configured to receive the distance signals, and to control extension of each of the actuators to control the height of the powered mobile unit based on the distance signals.
