Abstract: A method and system for determining an operating point of an agricultural vehicle is disclosed. The agricultural vehicle includes a ground engaging device for supporting the vehicle on the ground, a propulsion engine for driving the ground engaging device, sensors for generating sensor signals, and an evaluation unit. An input parameter is entered into the evaluation unit. The evaluation unit accesses a characteristic diagram for operating parameters of the agricultural vehicle (either by generating the characteristic diagram or accessing a previously stored characteristic diagram). The evaluation unit then determines the optimal operating point of the agricultural vehicle based on the characteristic diagram. The evaluation unit determines a current operating point based on acquired vehicle parameters, and compares the current operating point with the optimal operating point. Based on the comparison, the evaluation unit may determine the operating point of the agricultural vehicle.

Abstract: An agricultural machine, such as a tractor, includes a driver assistance system that has an input/output unit. The input/output unit carries out settings relating to an agricultural working task by an operator and displays virtual operating elements, allowing the settings and the displaying of information corresponding to the settings to be or have been made. The input/output unit allows for an interactive setting of at least one parameter of the agricultural machine and/or at least one working unit for implementing or supporting the agricultural working task, with the interactive setting being performed in a symbol-based and/or image-based or guided manner. Further, the at settable parameter, its value, or value range is preselected by the driver assistance system based on the agricultural working task selected, the working unit selected, or added on by the operator.

Abstract: A method and system for collecting agricultural measured data in an agricultural production machine that is combined with at least one agricultural attachment for fieldwork is disclosed. A sensor assembly is provided that has a sensor and a control assembly. The sensor may be integrated in combinations comprising (or consisting of) an agricultural production machine and a plurality of agricultural attachments. The sensor records measured data relating to at least one work quality parameter of the particular attachment and transmits it to the control assembly. In turn, the control assembly generates a common data set in a standardization routine from the measured data relating to the different attachments.

Abstract: A combination of a tractive machine and plow, has a driver assistance system having an input/output unit. The plow is adjustable with machine parameters, wherein a portion is manually adjustable and/or automatically adjustable by means of the tractive machine. A plow adjust assistant determines in a dialog with an operator in a plurality of dialog steps, optimized machine parameters of the plow and/or of the tractive machine that are to be adjusted. The plow adjust assistant automatically adjusts a portion of the machine parameters determined in the first dialog step and/or gives the operator a portion for adjusting and determines further optimized machine parameters of the plow based on these machine parameters and gives these further optimized machine parameters of the plow to the operator for adjustment of the plow in a second dialog step and/or automatically adjusts them at the plow.

Abstract: An agricultural work system for the optimization of operating parameters, with at least one agricultural work machine having a work unit for carrying out or supporting agricultural work. The agricultural work machine has a driver assistance system for detecting, processing and outputting data relating to an agricultural work order. The driver assistance system is configured to detect a plurality of operating parameters and to allow the operator to rank the detected operating parameters or operating parameter sets with a plurality of different detected operating parameters. Individual ranked operating parameters or sets of operating parameters or all of the ranked operating parameters or sets of operating parameters are retrievably filed in a data pool, and the operating parameters are submitted based on ranking to an algorithm for generating optimized operating parameters for adjustment of the agricultural work machine and/or of the at least one work unit.
