    摘要: An agricultural facility arranged in a plot of farmland includes: a supply and/or maintenance station; an autonomous agricultural device performing an agricultural task in the plot of farmland; a control unit for moving the autonomous agricultural device and the station, which unit is configured to control movement of the autonomous agricultural device within the plot of farmland including a work area in which an agricultural task is performed by the autonomous agricultural device and an area to be worked in which an agricultural task is to be performed by the autonomous agricultural device. The control unit is configured to control movement of the station from the work area to the area to be worked if the autonomous agricultural device moves to perform an agricultural task in the area to be worked, movement of the station being independent from movement of the autonomous agricultural device.

    摘要: A three-point hitch for an agricultural tractor includes a hydraulically actuatable lifting arm, a vertically pivotable lower link, and a lifting strut arranged between the lifting arm and the lower link. The lifting strut transmits to the lower link a pivoting movement on the lifting arm. The lifting strut includes a first fastening portion articulated to the lifting arm and a second fastening portion articulated to the lower link. The second fastening portion includes first and second fastening segments which encompass the lower link in a fork-shaped manner. A bearing pin disposed between the two fastening segments extends through a slot formed in the lower link. By pivoting the lower link, the bearing pin is displaced inside the slot between a first working position and a second working position. In each position, the bearing pin is secured inside the slot by a blocking arrangement.

    摘要: A coupling mechanism controls the location of the central primary draft load transmitting fixed-length link independently of the coupler. The coupling mechanism allows for translation in at least three orthogonal directions and for rotation of two distinct planes between coupled components, thereby providing a means for lateral shifting and articulation. The coupling mechanism mitigates unexpected rotation by restricting rotation along a longitudinal axis of the fixed-length link. Rotation of the coupling mechanism is furthermore controlled by means of a indexing turntable. The orientation and the position of the coupling mechanism is therefore determinant and predictable.

    摘要: A hitch device for an implement, suitable for being mounted on an agricultural vehicle, including a chassis transverse to the direction of travel of the hitch, a system for coupling an agricultural implement to the chassis, the coupling system being designed to pivot freely relative to the chassis, about a vertical axis, an attachment device for attaching the chassis to the agricultural vehicle, the attachment device including at least two arms intended to link the chassis to the agricultural vehicle, and each carrying two pivot links that together define a deformable parallelogram.

    摘要: An upper link for a three-point power lift of an agricultural tractor including a cylindrical connecting sleeve, a first fastening element rotated into a first open end of the cylindrical connecting sleeve and configured to be attached to the agricultural tractor, a second fastening element rotated into a second open end of the cylindrical connecting sleeve and configured to produce a releasable connection to an attachment, and a retaining bar attached to the first fastening element. The retaining bar includes a bar portion having a locking region for receiving a retaining catch and runs spaced apart along the cylindrical connecting sleeve. The retaining bar includes a support element encompassing the cylindrical connecting sleeve such that the connecting sleeve is rotationally displaceable, and the length of the upper link is varied by rotating the cylindrical connecting sleeve.

    摘要: A routing system for an agricultural sprayer includes a support configured to operably couple with the sprayer. An adaptor is configured to transfer a flow therethrough. The adaptor is at least partially positioned within an envelope defined between a wheel assembly and laterally offset components of the sprayer. A conduit has a first section operably coupled with a first portion of the adaptor and a second section operably coupled with an opposing second portion of the adaptor. The first section and the second section of the conduit are configured to transfer the flow therethrough such that the flow is serially transferred through each of the first section of the conduit, the adaptor, and the second section of the conduit.
