Work vehicles, such as construction vehicles, include an attachment tool to transport material. The attachment tool is coupled to a lift arm assembly of the construction vehicle via a coupling assembly. The coupling assembly is designed to be coupled to any one of a variety of attachment tools. However, coupling assemblies commonly utilize coupling pins to couple the attachment tool to the lift arm assembly. The coupling pins are onerous to insert/remove and prone to rusting. Furthermore, the coupling assemblies often have too much lateral tolerance. As such, the attachment tools are prone to lateral movement relative to the lift arm during operation. Therefore, an attachment tool coupling assembly for a construction vehicle is needed to easily couple and release the attachment tool from the lift arm assembly and prevent lateral movement of the attachment tool relative to the lift arm assembly.

Agricultural implements often include one or more vision-based or chemical detection-based sensors mounted thereon to monitor various parameters associated with the performance of such agricultural operations. During the performance of agricultural operations, the implement may encounter topographical irregularities or impediments within the field.

Such vibrations are, in turn, transmitted from the implement frame to the sensors, which may result in the data being captured by the sensors having poor quality. Therefore, an agricultural implement may include a support arm coupled thereon and configured to reduce the magnitude of the vibrations transferred to the sensors by dissipating or otherwise absorbing the vibrations being transferred to the sensors.

A tillage implement includes a plurality of disk gangs, with each disk gang including a shaft and a plurality of disks spaced apart from each other along the shaft. Furthermore, the tillage implement includes a plurality of load sensors configured to generate data indicative of loads being applied to the plurality of disk gangs and a computing system communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors. In this respect, the computing system is configured to determine a total load being applied to each disk gang based on the data generated by the plurality of load sensors. Additionally, the computing system is configured to determine an average load per disk being applied to each disk gang based on the determined total loads. Moreover, the computing system is configured to determine a plug status value for each disk gang based on the determined average loads per disk.

Abrégé

An agricultural baler system includes a baler frame; a bale chamber; and a control system operatively coupled with the baler frame. The control system includes at least one first sensor configured for detecting at least one first operative condition associated with a baling operation and outputting at least one first operative condition signal corresponding to the at least one first operative condition. The control system further includes a controller system operatively coupled with the at least one first sensor. The control system is configured for receiving the at least one first operative condition signal and determining at least one operative parameter based at least in part on the at least one first operative condition signal. The at least one first operative parameter is associated with a bale of a crop material one of stalling and being about to stall in the bale chamber of a baler.

Abrégé

A fan assembly for a cleaning system of a combine harvester includes a housing having a plurality of interconnected walls, the interconnected walls defining least one inlet opening through which air is delivered into the housing, and at least one outlet opening through which air is exhausted from the housing. A deflector is positioned either at or adjacent the outlet opening, the deflector being configured to affect a flow of air across a width dimension W of the outlet opening. The deflector may be a single, unitary body or the deflector may include a plurality of independently rotatably panels.
