A system for controlling the operation of a row cleaning device of a seed-planting implement may include a row cleaning device, at least one row sensor, and a controller. The row cleaning device may move field materials away from a travel path of a component of a seed-planting implement, where the component is positioned aft of the row cleaning device along a direction of travel of the seed-planting implement. The at least one row sensor may generate data indicative of a composition of the field materials moved by the row cleaning device. The controller may be configured to receive the data from the at least one row sensor as the seed planting implement moves across the field, and to monitor the composition of the field materials moved by the row cleaning device based at least in part on the data received from the at least one row sensor.

System and method for controlling the operation of a row cleaning device of a seed-planting implement

An agricultural planting implement includes a first wing toolbar configured to support a first set of row units. The first wing toolbar is configured to pivotally couple to a main frame of the agricultural planting implement. The agricultural planting implement also includes a second wing toolbar configured to support a second set of row units. In addition, the agricultural planting implement includes a connection assembly having at least one arm pivotally coupling the second wing toolbar to the first wing toolbar. The at least one arm is pivotally coupled to the first wing toolbar and non-pivotally coupled to the second wing toolbar. Furthermore, the connection assembly includes an actuator configured to drive the second wing toolbar to rotate relative to the first wing toolbar.

Two row agricultural planting implement

An agricultural implement includes a fertilizer section. The fertilizer section includes a first interface configured to engage a three-point hitch, and a second interface configured to engage an interface of a planter section. Further, the interface of the planter section is configured to engage the three-point hitch. The second interface includes multiple plates, and each of the plates includes at least one opening configured to receive a connector to connect the second interface to the interface of the planter section.

Modular agricultural planter

A monitoring system for an agricultural implement includes a sensor configured to output a sensor signal indicative of a position of at least one scraper of the agricultural implement relative to a surface of at least one respective disc. The at least one scraper is configured to engage the surface of the at least one respective disc to remove accumulated soil from the surface of the at least one respective disc. The monitoring system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor. The controller is configured to determine an amount of wear on the at least one scraper based on the position of the at least one scraper relative to the surface of the at least one respective disc, and the controller is configured to output a wear signal indicative of the amount of wear on the at least one scraper.

Monitoring system for an agricultural implement

A system for controlling the operation of a row cleaning device of a seed-planting implement may include a row cleaning device configured to adjust a surface cleanliness of a portion of a field, at least one row sensor, and a controller. The at least one row sensor may generate data indicative of a first surface cleanliness parameter within a worked area of the field positioned aft of the row cleaning device and a second surface cleanliness parameter within an unworked area of the field, the unworked area being outside of the worked area. The controller may be configured to receive the data indicative of the first and second surface cleanliness parameters from the at least one row sensor, and to determine an efficiency of the row cleaning device based at least in part on the first and second surface cleanliness parameters.

A mounting assembly for an agricultural product meter includes an upper mount configured to support at least a portion of a weight of the agricultural product meter. The upper mount is configured to couple to a support structure. The mounting assembly also includes a pin configured to engage the agricultural product meter via movement of the pin along a longitudinal axis of the pin. In addition, the mounting assembly includes a lower mount configured to selectively receive the pin via movement of the pin along the longitudinal axis of the pin. The lower mount is configured to couple to the support structure, and the pin is configured to block movement of the agricultural product meter away from the support structure while the pin is engaged with the agricultural product meter and the lower mount.

A particle delivery assembly of an agricultural row unit includes a particle tube configured to receive a particle and to deliver the particle toward a trench in soil. The particle tube includes a first body portion, a second body portion, and a hinge coupled to the first body portion and to the second body portion. The hinge is configured to enable the first body portion and the second body portion to pivot relative to one another between an open position of the particle tube and a closed position of the particle tube.

Agricultural planter

A particle delivery system of an agricultural row unit includes a particle belt housing having a particle engagement aperture configured to receive a particle and a particle exit aperture configured to expel the particle toward a trench in soil. The particle delivery system includes a particle belt having a particle engagement section configured to receive the particle via the particle engagement aperture and a particle exit section configured to expel the particle via the particle exit aperture. The particle exit section is positioned adjacent to the particle exit aperture, the particle belt extends generally parallel to the trench at the particle exit section, the particle engagement section is positioned adjacent to the particle engagement aperture, and the particle belt at the particle engagement section extends at an angle between zero degrees and ninety degrees relative to the particle belt at the particle exit section.

Particle delivery system of an agricultural row unit

A particle delivery system of an agricultural row unit includes a particle belt having a particle acceleration section. The particle belt is configured to receive a particle from a particle metering and singulation unit, to accelerate the particle at the particle acceleration section, and to expel the particle toward a trench in soil. The particle delivery system includes a first wheel engaged with the particle belt at a first location and a second wheel engaged with the particle belt at a second location. The particle acceleration section extends between the first location and the second location, a substantially no-slip condition exists between the first wheel and the particle belt at the first location and between the second wheel and the particle belt at the second location, and the second wheel is configured to rotate faster than the first wheel to accelerate the particle at the particle acceleration section.

An agricultural system that includes a planter frame. A track and/or wheel couple to and support the planter frame. A first row unit bracket couples to the planter frame. A first offset bracket couples to the first row unit bracket. A first row unit couples to the first offset bracket. The first offset bracket offsets the first row unit from a path of the track and/or wheel.

Bracket system

A particle delivery system of an agricultural row unit includes an inner particle belt having a base and a plurality of flights extending outwardly from the base. Each pair of opposing flights of the plurality of flights is configured to receive a particle from a particle metering and singulation unit, and each flight is configured to rotate relative to the base. The particle delivery system includes an outer particle belt having a plurality of apertures, where each flight of the plurality of flights extends through a respective aperture of the plurality of apertures, and the outer particle belt is configured to drive rotation of the flight relative to the base as the inner particle belt and the outer particle belt rotate, such that rotation of the flight relative to the base accelerates the particle toward a trench in soil.
