An agricultural implement towable by an agricultural vehicle. The agricultural implement includes a frame with a front portion and a rear portion, a plurality of ground engaging tools connected to the rear portion, and a stabilization system. The stabilization system includes at least one stabilizer connected to the rear portion. The at least one stabilizer is remotely operated for selectively supporting the rear portion relative to the front portion and leveling the frame.

An agricultural vehicle includes a chassis; a storage tank carried by the chassis; and a row unit carried by the chassis. The row unit includes: a row body; an opening blade carried by the row body and configured to open a trench as the row body is carried in a direction of travel; and a closing tandem carried by the row body behind the opening blade that is pivotally movable relative to the row body. The closing tandem includes a closing disc and a press wheel carried behind the closing disc, the closing disc and the press wheel being configured to rotate as the row body is carried in the direction of travel, the closing disc defining a projection path as it rotates, and the press wheel having a treaded surface in the projection path.

In one aspect, a system for reducing variations in the penetration depths between ground-engaging tools of an agricultural implement may include an implement having tires spaced apart from each other. The system may also include pressure sensors provided in operative association with the tires, each pressure sensor being configured for detecting an air pressure within the associated tire. Additionally, the system may include a controller communicatively coupled to the pressure sensors. The controller may be configured to monitor an air pressure differential between a pair of tires based on measurement signals received from the pressure sensors. The air pressure differential may be indicative of variability in the penetration depths of the ground-engaging tools. Furthermore, the controller may be configured initiate a control action associated with reducing the variability in the penetration depths of ground-engaging tools when the air pressure differential exceeds or falls below a predetermined tire pressure differential threshold.

A row unit assembly may generally include a clamp mount configured to be coupled to a frame member of an agricultural implement. The clamp mount may include a first clamp member and a second clamp member pivotally coupled to the first clamp member. The first clamp member may include a first clamp wall spaced apart from a second clamp wall of the second clamp member such that the frame member is clamped between the first and second clamp walls. In addition, the second clamp member may include a flange extending outwardly relative to the second clamp wall such that the flange overlaps the frame member along at least a portion of a top side of the frame member. Moreover, the row unit assembly may include an agricultural row unit including at least one support arm pivotally coupled to the clamp mount.

An agricultural tillage implement with a hydraulic system coupled to actuators of foldable wing sections and to actuators of wheel assemblies associated with each wing section. The hydraulic system having a wing sensor detecting an inner wing section being folded and at least one valve coupled to the wing sensor. The valve being activated by the wing sensor enabling a hydraulic fluid flow to the actuators associated with the wheel assemblies of the wing sections causing the wheel assemblies associated with the wing sections to thereby retract.
