An agricultural product application system such as an air seeder or a sprayer includes a controller, a product source, and a plurality of product dispensing sections. Each of the dispensing sections include a metering module and a product sensor arranged to detect product passing through one or more product dispensing devices. The controller determines a dispense activation delay (d) for each product dispensing section by measuring a delay between activation of the metering module and the product sensor detecting product arriving. The delay is optionally used for automatic control of the product dispensing sections and/or for logging georeferenced application data.

Agricultural product application system and method of controlling such

An agricultural product application system includes a controller and product dispensing apparatus. The product dispensing apparatus includes a metering module in communication with the controller and is configured to control a flow rate of product from a product source to product dispensing units. A display device is in communication with the controller. The controller receives operating limits and an application rate of the product dispensing apparatus. The controller determines a forward speed range based upon the operating limits and on the application rate. Display information is generated for providing a visual representation on the display device of the forward speed range.

Operator speed guidance for an agricultural product application system

An apparatus includes a hinge mount top plate, a hinge mount bottom plate, and a pin connecting the top plate and bottom plate. A cam adjuster element includes a top aperture, a middle aperture, and a bottom aperture. A first fastener passes through the top aperture to connect the cam adjuster element to the hinge mount top plate. The first fastener may be disposed in different positions in the top aperture. A second fastener passes through the middle aperture to connect the cam adjuster element to the hinge mount top plate. The cam adjuster element may pivot about a longitudinal axis of the second fastener. The pin is retained in the bottom aperture. An assembly includes a disc, a seed boot, and a mounting mechanism that allows for movement between the seed boot and the disc about first pivot axis and second pivot axis.

In one aspect, the disclosure describes an apparatus that harvests crops as the apparatus moves in a direction of travel across a field. The apparatus includes a crop harvesting assembly configured as a line of implements, the line being transverse to the direction of travel. First and second devices for adjusting a vertical position of left and right sides of the apparatus, respectively, are independently operable. Adjustment of a vertical position of at least one of the left and right sides of the apparatus results in tilting the line of implements relative to a horizontal plane defined at a ground surface under left and right ground contacting elements. In other aspects, a method and system are disclosed for automatically positioning a line of implements of an apparatus to follow a ground surface proximate the line of implements.
