An agricultural application system can include a nozzle assembly positioned along a boom assembly and can be configured to selectively dispense an agricultural product therefrom. One or more sensors can be operably coupled with the boom assembly and configured to capture data associated with first and second application variables. A controller can be communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors. The controller can include a processor and associated memory. The memory can store instructions that, when implemented by the processor, configure the controller to receive the data associated with the one or more application variables and calculate the spray quality index. The first application variable can have a first scaling factor and a second application variable can have a second scaling factor. The second scaling factor may differ from the first scaling factor.

System and method to quantify spray quality

An agricultural application is provided herein that includes a nozzle assembly positioned along a boom assembly and configured to selectively dispense an agricultural product therefrom. One or more sensors can be operably coupled with the boom assembly and can be configured to capture data associated with one or more application variables. A computing system can be communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors and to a display. The computing system can be configured to receive the data associated with the one or more application variables; convert the one or more application variables to a scaled integer to determine a spray quality index; generate a geo-located application map of the scaled integer; and present the geo-located application map on the display.

System and method for monitoring spray quality

An intelligent, automated system for loading agricultural product application equipment is provided in which a control system can determine a necessary amount of product for completing a field operation and can automatically couple with a tendering system to receive such product at an optimal time and location. The control system can determine a current amount of product, a projected amount of product necessary to complete a field operation and a refill amount of product from the current amount and the projected amount, then transmit the refill amount to the tender. The control system can further determine whether a position of the equipment relative to the tender is within a threshold, and whether an intake coupler of the equipment is connected to a supply coupler of the tender, and can control valve(s) to open and close channel(s) for loading fluid into the storage tank.

Intelligent loading for an agricultural machine

A system for planting multiple types of seed and automatically switching between the varieties during planting in a single planting pass of a planting session of row-crop planting of an agricultural field while controlling seed delivery speed to mitigate seed bounce and/or provide desired seed spacing distances. The system may include a bulk storage system, an on-row storage system, and a charging system that selectively delivers seeds of different varieties from the bulk storage system to the on-row storage system and a seed delivery speed control system that regulates seed delivery speed.

Multiple seed-type planting system with seed delivery speed control

A seed meter drive system includes a clutch having a toolless fastener configured to selectively couple the clutch to a downstream component. The clutch is configured to receive a rotational input via a flexible drive shaft, and to drive the downstream component in rotation while the clutch is engaged.

System for driving a seed meter via a flexible shaft

One row unit for an agricultural implement includes a ground engaging tool configured to penetrate soil and to form a furrow in the soil. The row unit also includes gauge wheels disposed adjacent to the ground engaging tool and configured to enable the ground engaging tool to penetrate the soil at a selectable penetration depth. Each of the gauge wheels extends substantially parallel to a direction of travel of the row unit.
