    摘要: A method is provided for calculating characteristic geometrical or control variables of a three-point hitch for an agricultural tractor in which the hitch includes a lifting strut having a mounting position which is adjustable by means of a lifting arm in one of a plurality of receiving holes formed in a lower link and the hitch is pivotable by the lifting strut. The method includes moving the lower link initially into a horizontal angle position α=0 and capturing the corresponding angular position Px, Pz of the lifting arm and a corresponding angular position γ of the lifting strut relative to the vertical. The method further includes determining which of the receiving holes satisfies a geometrical constraint condition and determining the mounting position of the lifting strut on the lower link.

    摘要: An agricultural machine for performing a cultivation operation on a field with plants in a regular, non-square pattern, in parallel, linear rows with a first transverse distance between adjacent rows in a first direction being smaller than a second transverse distance between adjacent rows in a second direction different from the first direction. The agricultural machine is connected to a first set of work units with lateral distances between adjacent work units of the first set of work units corresponding to the first distance, and to a second set of work units which are adapted to be inoperative during operation of the agricultural machine in the first direction and adapted to be operative during operation of the agricultural machine in the second direction to cover the areas between adjacent rows which cannot be treated with the work units of the first set of the work units.

    摘要: A method for storing information corresponding to a baled crop during a baling process includes providing a harvesting machine including a control unit, a sensor, and a bale tag reader. The method also includes forming the baled crop with a bale tag by the harvesting machine, identifying the baled crop by the control unit with a bale identifier, and sensing a characteristic of the baled crop by the sensor. The method further includes detecting a bale tag identifier associated with the bale tag by the bale tag reader, communicating the characteristic and bale tag identifier to the control unit, corresponding the characteristic, bale tag identifier and bale identifier of the baled crop to one another, and storing the characteristic, bale tag identifier and bale identifier in an electronic storage unit that is in electrical communication with the control unit.
