Abstract: A tractor with at least one lifting mechanism that has an upper link and lower links and actuators associated therewith, at least one attachment adapted to the lifting mechanism, and a driver assistance system is disclosed. The driver assistance system optimizes the operation of the tractor and has a computing unit, a memory unit and at least one input interface. The computing unit processes information generated by machine-internal sensor systems, external information, and information that may be saved in the memory unit. The tractor and/or the at least one attachment include a control device for controlling and regulating the tractor and the attachment. The driver assistance system comprises an automatic lifting mechanism that is configured to function based on characteristics, and to optimize adjustment of at least one work parameter of the tractor depending on selectable regulation strategies and/or optimization target variables saved in the memory unit.

Abstract: Agricultural devices, row unit adjustment systems, and methods of adjusting a depth of a furrow. In some aspects, an agricultural device is adapted to plant seeds and includes a frame, a furrow opener coupled to the frame and adapted to cut a furrow including a depth, a sensor adapted to sense a characteristic associated with planting seeds and generate a signal associated with the sensed characteristic, and a processing unit receiving the signal associated with the sensed characteristic. The depth of the furrow is adjustable based on the signal associated with the sensed characteristic. Such characteristic may be a characteristic of the soil, a force applied to the agricultural device, or a position of a portion of the agricultural device.

Abstract: An illustrative modular smart implement for precision agriculture includes a chassis having a hydraulic system, a control system, and articulating tool arms that are adapted to releasably receive one of a tool attachment for working a crop and/or field, including precision planting, cultivating, thinning, spraying, harvesting, and/or data collection. A toolbar fixed to the chassis receives and supports the articulating tools arms. An alignment member and side shift actuator provide movement of a portion of the tool arms along an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the toolbar, and a lift actuator provides movement along a vertical axis.

Abstract: A universal tractor implement frame for attaching to the three point hitch or drawbar of a tractor including two longitudinal beams, two transverse struts arranged between and perpendicular to the two longitudinal beams, and two longitudinal stabilizers. Forward and Rear sets of frame legs are attached to the forward and rear struts, respectively and are configured to connect at their distal ends to the upper link of the tractor's three point hitch or drawbar. Connection plates are attached to the forward strut for connecting to the two lower links of the tractor's three point hitch or stabilizers. Various working tools may be attached to the beams, stabilizers, and/or to the struts of the universal frame for carrying out the work of prior art tractor implements.

Abstract: A method and system for collecting agricultural measured data in an agricultural production machine that is combined with at least one agricultural attachment for fieldwork is disclosed. A sensor assembly is provided that has a sensor and a control assembly. The sensor may be integrated in combinations comprising (or consisting of) an agricultural production machine and a plurality of agricultural attachments. The sensor records measured data relating to at least one work quality parameter of the particular attachment and transmits it to the control assembly. In turn, the control assembly generates a common data set in a standardization routine from the measured data relating to the different attachments.
