    Abstract: A working machine coupler device includes a top linkage, a lower linkage, a detachable frame including a second upper coupler to be coupled to a first upper coupler, and a second lower coupler to be coupled to a first lower coupler, and a top linkage controller. The second upper coupler is coupled to the first upper coupler when the lower linkage is pivoted upward, and the first lower coupler moves toward and be coupled to the second lower coupler when a front portion of the working machine is moved upward, and the top linkage controller regulates the stretching and shortening of the top linkage to hold the detachable frame inclining backward, and allows the top linkage to be shortened until the working machine takes a working posture after the lower linkage is pivoted downward from a state where the front portion of the working machine is lifted.

    Abstract: An apparatus for connecting an implement to a three point hitch of mobile machinery comprises two frameworks, a first framework and a second framework. The first framework is disposed in a first plane and comprises at least two parallel, vertically-spaced apart, laterally extending rails. There are three attachments supported by the first framework for attachment to the three-point hitch. The second framework is slidable generally in the plane of the first framework and is mounted on the rails to slide laterally along the rails. At least two connectors are supported by the slidable second framework for connecting the second framework to an implement that can be pulled or pushed by the mobile machinery. A driver is connected to the first framework and connected to the second framework for driving the second framework laterally back and forth along the rails of the first framework.

    Abstract: An implement coupler including an electrical generator configured to generate electric power in response to a mechanical force provided by a power takeoff of a work vehicle. The implement coupler includes a support frame and an adjustment mechanism operatively connected to the support frame, wherein the adjustment mechanism is configured to adjust the position of the support frame with respect to the work vehicle. The generator is located on the support frame and is operatively connected to the power takeoff. The implement coupler further includes a drive shaft connected to the power takeoff and to the generator, an electrical coupler electrically coupled to the generator to provide access to the generated electrical power wherein the electrical coupler includes an output configured to provide the generated electrical power, and a line coupler including a connector configured to couple to source of material and to deliver the material.

    Abstract: Coupling apparatus (80) for coupling a mower (3) to a front three-point linkage of a tractor comprises a mounting element (17) for coupling to the three-point linkage and a carrier element (19) to which the mower (3) is coupled. A linkage mechanism (20) comprising upper link members (81) and a lower link member (23) couples the carrier element (19) to the mounting element (17). The lower link member (23) is pivotally coupled to the mounting element (17) about a first lower pivot axis (30). A pair of take-up springs (45) act between the lower link member (23) and the mounting element (17) to take up a portion of the weight of the mower (3). The take-up springs (45) are coupled between corresponding anchor elements (60) and corresponding anchor brackets (49) on the lower link member (23). The anchor elements (60) are carried on respective compensating arms (88), which in turn are pivotal on pivot shafts (53) carried on the mounting element (17). Actuator arms (89) acting between the lower link member (23) and the compensating arms (88) urge the anchor element (60) upwardly and downwardly as the carrier element (19) moves upwardly and downwardly for controlling the turning moment induced by the take-up springs (45) in the linkage mechanism (20), in order to maintain the effective weight of the mower (3) bearing on the ground substantially constant.

    Abstract: A working vehicle comprises a vehicle body, a quick hitch, a working implement connected to the vehicle body via the quick hitch, and a linkage interposed between the quick hitch and the vehicle body. The linkage is movable to raise and lower the quick hitch so as to locate the quick hitch at an optional height. The quick hitch can be inclined to a certain degree in a pitching direction of the vehicle body at the optional height defined by the linkage.
