    摘要: A soil monitoring system for an agricultural tillage implement includes a sensor configured to be coupled to a frame of the agricultural tillage implement. The sensor is configured to be directed toward a region of a soil surface. In addition, the sensor is configured to emit an output signal toward the region of the soil surface and to receive a return signal indicative of a profile of the soil surface within the region. Furthermore, the soil monitoring system includes a controller configured to identify a rough soil profile in response to determining that at least one variation in the profile of the soil surface within the region is greater than a first threshold value, and/or in response to determining that a number of variations in the profile of the soil surface within the region is greater than a second threshold value.

    摘要: A locking mechanism for an agricultural header includes a rod configured to extend laterally along the agricultural header and a cam coupled to the rod and configured to engage a respective arm of the agricultural header. The arm is configured to support a cutter bar assembly of the agricultural header, and the arm is configured to rotate relative to a frame of the agricultural header. The rod is configured to rotate in a first direction to a first orientation to engage the cam with the arm to block rotation of the arm relative to the frame, and the rod is configured to rotate in a second direction, opposite the first direction, to a second orientation to disengage the cam from the arm to enable rotation of the arm relative to the frame.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a towing hitch for a work vehicle. The towing hitch includes a retaining element. A coupling member coupled to the retaining element. A guide element having at least one guide channel formed therein; wherein the guide channel is sized to receive a portion of the retaining element. An actuator coupled to at least one surface of the retaining element, wherein the actuator is arranged such that lateral displacement of the actuator moves the retaining element between a first position and a second position within the guide channel of the guide element.

    摘要: A system for detecting a connector failure associated with an agricultural apparatus is disclosed. The system comprises a first supply source that is configured to supply a quantity of air at a first pressure into the hydraulic fluid line arranged on the agricultural apparatus. A second supply source is configured to supply a quantity hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic fluid line at a second pressure that is less than the first pressure. A protection device is coupled to the hydraulic fluid line and is configured to inhibit flow of the hydraulic fluid supplied by the second supply source when a pressure differential across an inlet of the protection device exceeds a predetermined threshold.

    摘要: An offset arm for a tractor is provided. The offset arm includes a front hitch, a rear hitch, and a rigid connecting structure coupling the front hitch to the rear hitch. The offset arm also includes a front pivot point pivotally connecting the connecting structure to the front hitch about a vertical pivot axis and a rear pivot point pivotally connecting the connecting structure to the rear hitch about a vertical pivot axis. The offset arm also includes a rear pivot lock that selectively locks the rear pivot point to lock the orientation of the rear hitch relative to the connecting structure. The rear pivot lock can selectively lock the rear hitch in any of multiple orientations.

    摘要: An agricultural tractor having a component storage system. The storage system including a storage bracket which is attached to the pick-up hitch of the tractor. The storage bracket allows for the storage of components of the pick-up hitch when not in use, e.g. a pick-up hitch hook, a drawbar. As the bracket is attached to the pick-up hitch itself, the components are stored in a convenient location for the tractor operator, to allow for hitch components to be changed in a relatively fast manner.
