An agricultural vehicle is operable in a first state for transport and in a second state for field work and includes a frame supported by a plurality of tires. A processor is operable to receive a signal generated as a result of the agricultural vehicle transitioning from the first state to the second state or from the second state to the first state. A gas system is operable to modify the tire pressure of the plurality of tires of the agricultural vehicle in response to the signal.

System and method for modifying tire pressure in agricultural equipment

A mechanism for attaching a harvesting assembly to a combine having a multicoupler which connects hydraulic lines on the combine with hydraulic lines on the harvesting assembly as two halves of the multicoupler are brought together, and a latching mechanism which mechanically couples the harvesting assembly to the combine, the latching mechanism being operatively connected with the multicoupler to shift between latched and unlatched modes as the multicoupler is shifted between connected and unconnected modes.

Multifunction latch for a combine

A combine harvester hydraulic system having a valve which automatically routes hydraulic fluid from a combine fluid supply line to a combine fluid return line when the combine fluid supply line is not coupled to a hydraulic line of a harvesting assembly.

Combine hydraulic reel drive shunt

A hydraulic system for a combine and harvesting assembly having a valve mechanism that automatically routes fluid from a combine hydraulic line to a harvesting assembly hydraulic line when the harvesting assembly line is coupled with the combine hydraulic line, and automatically routes fluid from the combine hydraulic line to a hydraulic cylinder that controls the speed of a variable speed sheave of a conveyor drive system when the harvesting assembly hydraulic line is detached from the combine hydraulic line. The valve mechanism also includes a relief valve that allows pressurized fluid from the hydraulic cylinder to flow back to the combine's hydraulic system when the valve is routing fluid from the combine hydraulic line to the harvesting assembly.
