Abstract: A method and system for regulating a rear power lift of an agricultural production machine in an agricultural combination is disclosed. The agricultural combination includes an agricultural production machine and an agricultural attachment. The agricultural attachment is connected to the agricultural production machine via a rear power lift of the agricultural production machine. The agricultural production machine includes a driver assistance system that regulates machine parameters of the rear power lift using position regulation and/or traction regulation on which a slip control is superimposed. The driver assistance system determines a target slip for slip regulation optimized for position regulation and/or traction regulation depending on at least one existing soil property and at least one existing tire property, and regulates the rear power lift to the optimized target slip.

Abstract: A method and system for determining working heights independent of the type of coupling of a plurality of agricultural attachments using a sensor assembly is disclosed. The sensor assembly includes at least one sensor for recording measured data and a control assembly. The attachments may be coupled to an agricultural production machine by an equipment interface using different types of coupling. The attachments are temporarily coupled to the agricultural production machine using the different types of coupling. The control assembly determines the working heights independent of the type of coupling of the differently coupled attachments when in a coupled state by using the same sensor. The control assembly displays the working heights determined independent of the type of coupling by means of the agricultural production machine, and/or uses them to control and/or regulate the agricultural production machine.

Abstract: An agricultural work system has an agricultural work machine to which at least one mounted implement can be fitted via at least one implement interface. A work machine configuration is associated with the work machine, and a mounted implement configuration is associated with the mounted implement. A drive unit is provided which acts via a drivetrain on ground engaging elements, particularly on tires. A system control and a control/display unit associated with the work machine are provided. It is proposed that the system control is adapted to determine the mounted implement configuration, to calculate the implement interface load transmitted via the implement interface based on the determined mounted implement configuration, and to evaluate and/or optimize the work machine configuration based on the calculated implement interface load.

Abstract: An agricultural assistance system including a driver assistance system for controlling one or both of a prime mover and an attachment of an agricultural combination is disclosed. The agricultural assistance system generates control parameters for one or both of the prime mover and the attachment, has a rule interpreter that generates the control parameters by processing rules from sets of rules, and has a rule generator that provides a plurality of sets of rules. The agricultural assistance system executes the rule interpreter as needed on control hardware that is part of one or both of the prime mover or the attachment, and on control hardware that is disposed remote from the combination. The agricultural assistance system has a coordination module for this which, independent of the site at which the rule interpreter is run, coordinates the rule interpreter with the control generator and the driver assistance system.

Abstract: An agricultural work machine and a method for operating an agricultural work machine are disclosed. The agricultural work machine includes a driver assistance system, which comprises a memory for storing data, a computing device for processing the data stored in the memory, and a graphical interface. The computing device graphically displays an operating data field via the graphical interface, which represents a display range for a first operating parameter, and the current value for the first operating parameter in the operating data field. The computing device evaluates the first operating parameter over a portion of the display range according to an evaluation criterion that relates to a second operating parameter, evaluates the first operating parameter based on a relationship between the first operating parameter and the second operating parameter contained in a characteristic diagram system, and graphically displays the evaluation data determined in this manner in the operating data field.

Abstract: A method for reducing vehicle oscillations for an agricultural vehicle with a drive engine, a running gear cooperating with the drive engine for driving wheels having pneumatic tires, and a control unit for regulating a tire pressure of at least one tire requires a number of steps. For example, the method includes generating a sensor signal as a function of at least one determined vehicle oscillation and regulating a tire pressure of at least one tire by the control unit as a function of the sensor signal in order to reduce the determined vehicle oscillation.

Abstract: A method and system for measuring a working height, such as an absolute working height, of a plurality of agricultural attachments using a sensor assembly is disclosed. The sensor assembly includes a sensor and at least one sensor holder. The sensor holder is mounted at mounting positions onto different attachments, with the sensor being reversibly mounted in the sensor holder at the mounting position. The sensor, in a mounted state, records measured data relating to a working height of the agricultural attachment and transmits the measured data to the control assembly. In turn, the control assembly determines the working height of the particular attachment from a calibration data set specific to the mounting position.
