    摘要: A debris removal system for an agricultural harvester can include an extractor housing defining a housing inlet, a housing outlet, and a passage. The extractor housing can further define an airflow channel for directing debris through the extractor housing from the housing inlet to the housing outlet. An airflow device can be configured to generate an airflow from the housing inlet towards the airflow device. The airflow can be configured to separate the debris billets of a crop material. A drum can be positioned at least partially within the airflow channel and between the housing inlet and the passage. The debris within the airflow channel can be directed by the drum toward the housing outlet.

    摘要: A near-plug monitoring system includes particle flow rate sensors coupled to or downstream of a distribution header, wherein the distribution header is coupled to a primary distribution line and a plurality of secondary distribution lines, the distribution header is configured to receive a flow of a granular product from the primary distribution line and to divert the flow of the granular product among the secondary distribution lines. The system includes a controller configured to receive feedback from the particle flow rate sensors, to determine a real-time flow rate of the granular product in the secondary distribution lines, to determine if a near-plug condition is occurring in at least one secondary distribution line based on the real-time flow rate, and to automatically provide a control signal to alter one or more operating parameters of the pneumatic conveyance system when the near-plug condition is occurring to resolve the near-plug condition.

    摘要: A system for an agricultural seeding implement includes processing circuitry configured to, while the agricultural seeding implement is in a lowered position work state to distribute seeds during each pass through a seeding portion of a field, provide control signals to a downforce actuator to drive one or more row units toward a surface of the field. The processing circuitry is also configured to, while the agricultural seeding implement is in a raised position work state with the one or more row units lifted off of the surface of the field to turn within a headlands portions of the field, perform a calibration check for one or more load cell sensors that are configured to measure a downforce applied by the one or more row units to the field.

    摘要: A system for determining field plantability during performance of a seed-planting operation with a seed-planting implement includes a soil moisture sensor configured to generate data indicative of a soil moisture content of a portion of the field. In this respect, a computing system is configured to determine a soil moisture content value of the portion of the field based on the data generated by the soil moisture sensor. Additionally, the computing system is configured to receive an input indicative of a soil composition parameter of the portion of the field and determine a soil composition parameter value of the portion of the field based on the received input. Moreover, the computing system is configured to determine a plantability index value for the portion of the field based on the determined soil moisture content value and the determined soil composition parameter value.

    摘要: An agricultural implement includes a frame including a center section and a first wing section and a second wing section flanking the center section. The first wing section and the second wing section are configured to move relative to the center section during transitions between a folded position and an unfolded position. The agricultural implement includes a first rigid tube assembly disposed on the center section having a first set of rigid tubes and a second set of rigid tubes, a second rigid tube assembly disposed on the first wing section, and a third rigid tube assembly disposed on the second wing section. The agricultural implement includes a structural support configured to enable movement of the first set of rigid tubes and the second set of rigid tubes relative to the center section and each other during the transitions between the folded position and the unfolded position.

    摘要: A row unit closing wheel assembly includes a closing wheel, a closing wheel arm, and a closing wheel shaft having a first end and a second end. The closing wheel is coupled to the first end and the closing wheel arm is coupled to the second end via a pivot joint. The row unit closing wheel assembly also includes an adjustable wedge assembly including a wedge coupled to the pivot joint. The adjustable wedge assembly is configured to adjust an angle of the closing wheel shaft relative to the closing wheel arm along a horizontal plane via movement of the closing wheel shaft about the pivot joint. The horizontal plane is orthogonal to a rotational axis of the pivot joint.
