    摘要: An agricultural system includes a header (200) that includes a frame (201) and first and second lateral conveyors coupled to the frame. The first and second lateral conveyors are configured to laterally transport crop material towards a central crop-receiving aperture. The header (200) also includes actuators configured to adjust a speed and a direction of the first and second lateral conveyors. The agricultural system includes a controller (302) configured to receive an input from an input device that causes the controller (302) to automatically link the speed and the direction of the first and second lateral conveyors to a vehicle speed and a vehicle direction of an agricultural vehicle that the header (200) is coupled to. The controller (302) is configured to provide a control signal to the actuators (308,310) that alters the speed and the direction of the first and second lateral conveyors in response to changes in the vehicle speed and the vehicle direction.

    摘要: A system for monitoring the operational status of ground-engaging tools of an agricultural implement. The system includes a frame and an assembly including an attachment structure configured to be coupled to the frame and a ground-engaging tool pivotably coupled to the attachment structure at a pivot point. The system further includes a shear pin at least partially extending through both the attachment structure and ground-engaging tool to prevent pivoting of the ground-engaging tool about the pivot point. Additionally, the system includes a sensor configured to detect a load applied through a pivot member extending through at least one of the frame or assembly at any pivot point between the frame and the ground engaging tool. The system further includes a controller, communicatively coupled to the sensor, configured to determine a change in the working condition of the shear pin based on the detected load applied through the pivot member.

    摘要: A lift control apparatus includes a height sensor that outputs a height detection signal after a height of a ground work apparatus is detected. The ground work apparatus is coupled to a traveling work vehicle via a lift mechanism. An upper limit manager sets an upper limit position of the ground work apparatus based on an operation input signal from an input operation device for an upper limit setting USD. A setting prohibitor prohibits, when the upper limit position being set by the operation input signal is lower than the height of the ground work apparatus based on the height detection signal, the setting of the upper limit position from the operation input signal, and setting the upper limit position to the height of the ground work apparatus based on the height detection signal.
