Guidance systems and automation of work vehicles with complex turns are disclosed. An example work vehicle guidance system includes a visual sensor, a non-visual sensor, and a control system including a controller having a processor and a memory, wherein the control system is configured to determine a location of a work vehicle in a work area based on non-vision data from the non-visual sensor, determine an end-of-row turn path for the work vehicle from a first turn profile and a second turn profile, wherein the first turn profile and the second turn profile are multi-point turn profiles, based on the location of the work vehicle and the vision data, and output a guidance signal including the end-of-row turn path for the work vehicle to display.

A power management system and power management method for a work machine (10). The power management system and method include a real time data interface configured to receive real time work machine data. A processor (308) is configured to compute current machine operating conditions based on work machine data. The processor (308) is further configured to compute an optimized engine speed or an optimized maximum power based on the current machine operating requirements, and to adjust one of the engine speed or the maximum power based on a status of one of a ground speed automation selector, a power mode selector (326), or an economy mode selector (328).

A set of candidate representation vectors stored in a search-optimized database is identified based on input data for a reference agronomic entity, with each candidate representation vector representing a similar entity candidate. Agronomic entities may include fields, machines, customers, among others. The set of candidate representation vectors is filtered using filter parameters to generate a filtered subset. Results data associated with the filtered subset is output, wherein the results data enable at least one agronomic management operation such as machine settings adjustments or technology adoption opportunities, among others.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Halterung (42) für einen Seitenstabilisator (28) eines Dreipunkt-Krafthebers (10), wie er bei landwirtschaftlichen Traktoren (12) zur Anbringung landwirtschaftlicher Anbau- oder Zusatzgeräte Verwendung findet. Die Halterung (42) weist entlang einer Halterungslängsachse (44) einen gabelförmigen Befestigungsbereich (48) mit gegenüberliegenden Gabelenden (50) auf, die von miteinander fluchtenden Querbohrungen (52) zur Aufnahme eines Befestigungsbolzens (54) durchsetzt sind, der der Lagerung eines von dem Seitenstabilisator (28) umfassten Kugelgelenks (40) dient, wobei die miteinander fluchtenden Querbohrungen (52) eine senkrecht zur Halterungslängsachse (44) verlaufende Gelenkachse (54) vorgeben. Ferner weist die Halterung (42) entlang der Halterungslängsachse (46) eine an einem dem gabelförmigen Befestigungsbereich (48) gegenüberliegenden abgeflachten Befestigungsbereich (58) ausgebildete Montagefläche (60) zur Anlage an einem komplementär ausgebildeten Befestigungsflansch (62) eines Achstrichters (44) auf, deren Verlauf mit demjenigen der Gelenkachse (56) zusammenfällt, wobei der abgeflachte Befestigungsbereich (58) von einer Vielzahl von senkrecht zur Montagefläche (60) verlaufenden Befestigungsbohrungen (64) durchsetzt ist, die spiegelsymmetrisch in Bezug auf die Halterungslängsachse (46) angeordnet sind.

An autonomy enablement system for a vehicle (100) comprises at least one controller configured to determine the vehicle (100) is conditioned for autonomy, the vehicle (100) being conditioned for autonomy when at least a manual brake is engaged, enable autonomy in response to the determination that the vehicle (100) is conditioned for autonomy, and engage a redundant brake in response to the enablement of autonomy.

A round baler implement includes a housing and a gate rotatably attached to the housing for rotation about a gate rotation axis, between a closed position and an open position. An object detection sensor is positioned to detect data related to an object positioned vertically below the gate when the gate is disposed in the open position, and communicate a data signal indicative of the detected data. A baler controller determines the presence of an object positioned below the gate that may interfere with movement of the gate from the open position into the closed position, and then communicates a control signal when the object is determined to be positioned to interfere with movement of the gate to prevent the gate from closing onto the object.

A mechanism (26) for movably mounting an upper structure of an off-road vehicle (10) with respect to a chassis (12) of the off-road vehicle (10) comprises: a first part (22) connectable or connected to the chassis (12) or to the upper structure, a second part (24) connectable or connected to the upper structure or to the chassis (12), a first linear actuator (82) connected by spherical joints 74, 76) to the first part (22) and the second part (24), respectively and a second linear actuator (80) connected by spherical joints (74, 76) to the first part (22) and the second part (24), respectively, the first and second actuator (82, 80) spaced in a first direction (32), a third linear actuator (78) connected by spherical joints (74, 76) to the first part (22) and the second part (24), respectively, spaced from the first and second actuator (82, 80) in a second direction (30) transverse to the first direction (32), a first link (64) with a fixed length, connected between the first part (22) and the second part (24), configured to pivot on a first end (70) only around an axis extending parallel to the first direction (32) and connected with its second end by a spherical joint (68), and a second link (86) connected to the first part (22) and the second part (24), the second link (86) restricting rotation of the second part (24) against the first part (22) within the plane spanned by the first and second direction (32, 30).

An agricultural field sprayer (10) has a tank (20) for receiving a liquid (28) containing active ingredient dissolved in water that may be object to foaming. The tank (20) comprises an electronic camera (56) with a field of view directed towards the surface of the liquid (28) in the tank (20).

Rutting data associated with a rut in a ground surface at a worksite is used to determine rut characteristics associated with the rut. Location data indicative of a current location of a work machine relative to the rut is acquired. Control data is generated to cause an actuator of the work machine to perform a mitigation operation based on the rut characteristics and the current location of the work machine.
