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 method of automating unloading for a mobile farm implement is presented. The method includes determining whether the speed of the mobile farm implement is below a first threshold. In response to a determination that the speed of the mobile farm implement is below the first threshold, a conveyor is moved to an operating position, where it is used to unload agricultural material from the mobile farm implement. Upon termination of the unloading of the agricultural material, the controller folds the conveyor to a storage or transport position.

Abstract: A cart having an adjustable elevation auger. A junction box may located within the opening of a sump of a bin of a cart. The junction box may have an open top, closed bottom and sides, and back wall. The back wall of the junction box may be secured to a bin wall by a hinge such that the junction box may pivot about a pivot axis. An auger housing may be connected to and extend from the junction box. An auger may extend through the auger housing and have an intake end disposed within the junction box. The auger housing and auger may pivot with the junction box about a pivot axis between a lowered position and an elevated position. The auger may be a corner auger and may be a folding auger.

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: A farm implement includes an undercarriage including at least a front crossbeam and a rear crossbeam and first and second dual track propulsion systems. Each dual track propulsion system includes a first track assembly and a second track assembly. Each track assembly includes at least a track frame, at least two wheels and a track belt looped around the wheels. Each track assembly also includes a track support beam coupled to the track frames of the first and second track assemblies. The track support beam is pivotably coupled to the front and rear crossbeams such that said track support beam can pivot about a first axis of rotation parallel to a longitudinal axis of the track support beam, thereby allowing the first track assembly to move generally upwardly and downwardly in the opposite direction of the second track assembly. The first track assembly is pivotably coupled to the track support beam such that the first track assembly is pivotable about a second axis of rotation approximately perpendicular to the first axis of rotation and the second track assembly is pivotably coupled to the track support beam such that the second track assembly is pivotable about third axis of rotation approximately perpendicular to the first axis of rotation.
Abstract translation: 农具具包括起落架,至少包括前横梁和后横梁以及第一和第二双轨推进系统。 每个双轨推进系统包括第一轨道组件和第二轨道组件。 每个轨道组件至少包括轨道框架,至少两个轮子和围绕车轮环绕的履带。 每个轨道组件还包括耦合到第一和第二轨道组件的轨道框架的轨道支撑梁。 轨道支撑梁可枢转地联接到前横梁和后横梁,使得所述轨道支撑梁可绕平行于轨道支撑梁的纵向轴线的第一旋转轴线枢转,从而允许第一轨道组件大体向上和向下移动 在第二轨道组件的相反方向上。 第一轨道组件可枢转地联接到轨道支撑梁,使得第一轨道组件可围绕大致垂直于第一旋转轴线的第二旋转轴线枢转,并且第二轨道组件可枢转地联接到轨道支撑梁,使得 第二轨道组件可围绕第三旋转轴线大致垂直于第一旋转轴线枢转。

Abstract: An agricultural implement includes a toolbar system having a toolbar frame, an elevator assembly, and a first wing on one side of the toolbar frame. The first wing may be coupled to the elevator and pivotable about a first vertical axis of rotation between an extended and a folded position. Tools may be coupled to the first wing and rotatable relative to a longitudinal axis of the first wing from an operating position below the first wing to a transport/shipping position above the first wing. Further, the first wing may be adapted to be moveable to position the first wing higher than a wheel of the agricultural implement on the same side of the toolbar frame in the folded position. Subsequently, the tools may be circularly rotated and the middle wing and tools pushed down to reduce the overall width and height of the implement for transporting or shipping.

Abstract: A farm implement having an auger assembly that includes a first auger section with a first auger shaft and a first helical flight array, a second auger section with a second auger shaft and a second helical flight array, and a joint that releasably connects the first auger shaft to the second auger shaft when the auger assembly is in an operating position. When the auger assembly is set in the operating position, a leading edge of the first helical flight array opposes a trailing edge of the second flight array, and the leading edge is spatially separated from the trailing edge by a gap. The auger assembly further includes a first flight extension detachably mounted to the leading edge of the first helical flight array and/or a second flight extension detachably mounted to the trailing edge of the second helical flight array.
