    摘要: A disc blade angle control system for an agricultural implement includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of a side load applied to a disc blade of the agricultural implement. The disc blade is configured to engage soil, and the side load corresponds to a force applied to the disc blade along an axis parallel to a rotational axis of the disc blade. The controller is also configured to control an actuator to adjust an angle of the disc blade based on the side load.

    摘要: A work vehicle includes a chassis, and a work implement movably coupled to the chassis, the work implement configured to perform a field-engaging function. The work vehicle also includes an actuator coupled to the work implement and configured to adjust a position of the work implement relative to a ground surface, and a controller in communication with a communication module. The controller is configured to monitor a location of the work machine via the communication module, and load a field map that identifies spatial information about a corresponding field, and a characteristic of the actuator associated with the spatial information. The controller is further configured to partition the spatial information into at least one pass traversable by the work machine. The controller is also configured to create an adjustment event to adjust the actuator in response to the location of the work machine moving within the at least one pass.

    摘要: A system for controlling the operation of a row cleaning device of a seed-planting implement may include a row cleaning device configured to adjust a surface cleanliness of a portion of a field, at least one row sensor, and a controller. The at least one row sensor may generate data indicative of a first surface cleanliness parameter within a worked area of the field positioned aft of the row cleaning device and a second surface cleanliness parameter within an unworked area of the field, the unworked area being outside of the worked area. The controller may be configured to receive the data indicative of the first and second surface cleanliness parameters from the at least one row sensor, and to determine an efficiency of the row cleaning device based at least in part on the first and second surface cleanliness parameters.

    摘要: A header for a crop harvesting machine includes front and rear wheel arrangements that pivot about respective upright axis between a field orientation and a perpendicular transport orientation, while having respective suspensions arrangements movable between different suspended heights. A biasing spring provides lift assist to carry weight of the wheel arrangement during adjustment of the suspension elevation while being isolated from the suspension once set at any one elevation. The front wheel arrangement includes an anti-rotation latch that locks the front wheel in the field orientation automatically upon disconnection of a hitch arm. A second wheel of the rear wheel arrangement can be held in a raised position relative to a first wheel in a field orientation. Load bearing surfaces between the suspended rear wheels and the header frame abut one another when latching to the header frame to isolate the suspension from the header frame in the transport orientation.

    摘要: A gauge wheel arm assembly equipped to a row unit planter. The gauge wheel arm assembly may include an arm portion and a hub portion operably engaged with the arm portion for receiving at least two bearings. The hub portion may include at least one stop portion configured to operably engaged with a first bearing of the at least two bearings. The hub portion may also include at least another stop portion configured to operably engaged with a second bearing of the at least two bearings. The at least one stop portion of the hub portion and the at least another stop portion of the hub portion are independent and separate from one another.

    摘要: A system for re-calibrating a machine includes an arm having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The arm is configured to be coupled to a frame of the machine and to move within a range of motion during an active state of the machine. The system includes a target element on the first end of the arm, the target element including an outer surface and a projection extending away from the outer surface. A portion of the outer surface defines an eccentric surface along the target element. The system includes a magnetic field sensor coupled to the frame and configured such that the sensor is operable to detect the projection 1) in response to the arm being positioned outside of the range of motion and concurrently 2) when the machine is not in the active state.
