Abstract: A particulate material leveling system includes an agitating system disposed within a storage tank for a particulate material. The agitating system includes a drive system and a shaft coupled to the drive system. Further, the drive system drives the shaft to rotate about a central axis. The agitating system also includes a wrapped wire coupled to the shaft. The wrapped wire extends around the shaft along a helical path in an axial direction and a circumferential direction, and the wrapped wire moves the particulate material in the axial direction in response to rotation of the shaft in a first direction about the central axis.

Abstract: An agricultural product delivery system having a controller with a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions. The instructions may include instructions to determine a first time-to-target of a first metering section of an agricultural implement in a field, determine a second time-to-target of a second metering section of the agricultural implement in the field, control a first motor coupled to the first metering section to an ON state when the first time-to-target is less than or equal to a first delivery delay of the first metering section, and control a second motor coupled to the second metering section to the ON state when the second time-to-target is less than or equal to a second delivery delay of the second metering section.

Abstract: A particulate material sensing and agitation control system includes a controller with a memory and a processor, where the controller is configured to receive at least one sensor signal indicative of a measured profile of a particulate material within a storage tank of an agricultural system, determine whether a variation between the measured profile and a target profile is greater than a threshold value, and output a first output signal to a user interface indicative of instructions to inform an operator of a profile variation, output a second signal to an agitating system indicative of activation of the agitating system, or a combination thereof, in response to determining that the variation between the measured profile and the target profile is greater than the threshold value.
