Orientation signals from a ground surface orientation sensor are received at a control system. The signals are indicative of a side tilt angle of a sideways sloped ground surface. Based on the signals the control system, the control system causes a side tilt counteracting mechanism to operate to counteract the sideways acting force acting an agricultural apparatus associated with the side tilt angle. A steerable wheel of an agricultural apparatus is pivotable about a steering axis, and an actuation system is operable to adjust a steering angle of the steerable wheel about the steering axis. The steering angle of the steerable wheel may produce a steering direction that counteracts the side force acting on the tillage apparatus.
An agricultural implement comprises: a main frame, an operational unit interconnected to the main frame, and a height adjustment apparatus interconnected to the main frame and the operational unit. The height adjustment apparatus comprises a terrain contact element that can be positioned to contact a terrain surface such that the contact element supports the operational unit at a vertical separation distance of the operational unit above the terrain surface. The height adjustment apparatus can adjust the vertical separation distance of the operational unit above the terrain surface. A shock absorbing assembly is operationally positioned between the main frame and the terrain contact element and provides for resilient deformation in response to forces transmitted during operation to the terrain contact element, from contact with the terrain surface. The shock absorbing assembly may absorb and/or cushion forces imparted to a component of the height adjustment apparatus.

The quick-release finger is provided with projections configured for mating with flanges at the channel opening, enabling the finger to be inserted into the channel in a first orientation and then rotated into a second orientation to engage the flanges and releasably lock the finger in place. The spacers are also configured to engage the flanges of the channel and may be provided in different lengths where a particular harvesting header application requires a certain distance between fingers on the bat.
A method for conditioning at least one control signal transmitted by a controller is disclosed. The method involves intercepting the control signal and producing at least one output signal for receipt by the positioning system instead of the control signal in response to the control signal. The output signal represents a plurality of active times during which the positioning system is instructed to move the agricultural implement towards the at least one desired position and a plurality of inactive times during which the positioning system is instructed not to move, each active time being followed by a respective one of the plurality of inactive times. Each of the plurality of inactive times is sufficiently long to permit the agricultural implement to settle into a fixed position due to a positioning response time of the positioning system. Other methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
A farm implement is provided. A support frame of the farm implement is adapted for being coupled to a hitch of a tractor. A plurality of rows of tines is disposed successively in a direction of operation of the farm implement. Each row of the tines is mounted to a respective tine support structure with each tine support structure being pivotally movable mounted to the support frame. An actuating mechanism is connected to each tine support structure for moving the tines between a transport position and an operating position.

A crop flow assistance device for a harvesting header comprises a curved member mounted in relation to the rear wall of the header, with a top edge positioned within the draper table area of the header and a concave-curved shield surface. The shield will deflect or roll crop material during operation back into the draper area, so that crop material is not thrown up over the back of the header and is directed to the discharge. This will be particularly advantageous in the harvesting of peas and other dense or tangling crop material which have a tendency to bind or ball in harvest with traditional headers.

The cam has at least one operating position, and a transport position in which the engaged reel bats will be pivoted into transport mode that substantially reduces the risk of damage to the fingers.
An apparatus is disclosed.
