Abstract: A track assembly for assisting in moving a farm implement along a ground surface in a line of travel is provided. The track assembly includes a tilt arm comprising front and rear ends. The track assembly includes a camber arm coupled to the tilt arm such that the camber arm permits the tilt arm to pivot about a first axis perpendicular to the line of travel and a second axis parallel to the line of travel. The camber arm is located between the front and rear ends of the tilt arm.

Abstract: A grain cart and foldable auger assembly having an upper auger assembly portion with a discharge portion, a lower auger assembly portion with an intake portion, and a joint that allows the upper auger assembly portion to be moved between operating and transport positions. When in an operating position, the upper auger portion and the lower auger portion are offset from each other by an operating offset angle. The grain cart also has a hitch for allowing the grain cart to be towed. The discharge portion is forward of the hitch when in the operating position. Embodiments of the present invention provide, for example, increased forward and side reach, additional storage capacity of the hopper, increased discharge rate from the hopper, and a more compact transport position.

Abstract: A grain cart and foldable auger assembly having an upper auger assembly portion with a discharge portion, a lower auger assembly portion with an intake portion, and a compound angle joint that allows the upper auger assembly portion to be moved between operating and transport positions. When in an operating position, the upper auger portion and the lower auger portion are offset from each other by an operating offset angle. When in a transport position, the upper auger assembly portion is offset from the lower auger assembly portion by a transport offset angle such that the upper auger assembly portions folded across the front of the grain cart in a non-obstructive and non-protruding manner.

Abstract: According to a first aspect, a grain cart is provided. The grain cart includes a rolling frame; and a bin mounted to the frame and having one or more walls defining a space for storing an agricultural product. The grain cart also includes a folding auger assembly having an upper auger portion with a first longitudinal axis and a lower auger portion with a second longitudinal axis. The upper auger portion further has an upper auger, an upper auger housing, and a discharge spout coupled to a top end of the upper auger housing. The lower auger portion further has a lower auger and lower auger housing. A bottom end of the lower auger housing is coupled to the bin and a top end of the lower auger housing is coupled to a bottom end of the upper auger housing, such that the lower auger and upper auger are operable to convey the agricultural product from the bin to the discharge spout. The auger assembly is foldable about a folding axis between a stored position and an operating position, such that in the stored position, the upper auger portion is folded relative to the lower auger portion so that the upper auger portion extends along a wall of the bin, and in said operating position, the upper auger portion extends upwardly from the lower auger portion. The auger assembly is rotatable in the operating position about the second longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A weigh system for a mobile farm implement including a plurality of sensors and an indicator. The indicator may receive signals directly from each individual sensor related to the weight or load at the location of the sensor. The indicator may then use the information to determine if the mobile farm implement is in danger of hitch overload or rollover.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automated cart operation. The automated cart operation may include determining whether a container is full at a first unloading location and, if so, moving the cart from the first unloading location to a second unloading location. The automated cart operation may include moving the cart to a container, determining whether the cart is near the container, and, if the cart is determined to be near the container, stopping the cart. The automated cart operation may include determining a route from a current location to the location of a farm implement that avoids one or more permanent obstacles and areas of the field that have not been harvested and moving the cart to the farm implement on the determined route.
