An agricultural support system includes an unmanned aerial vehicle including a sensor, and an agricultural machine to travel in an agricultural field. When an abnormality occurs in the unmanned aerial vehicle while the agricultural machine performs work in the agricultural field in cooperation with the unmanned aerial vehicle, the unmanned aerial vehicle or the agricultural machine performs an operation different from an operation during the work.

Agricultural support system and unmanned aerial vehicle

A working machine includes a vehicle body to which a working device is connectable, a driving estimator to estimate whether the vehicle body is drivable along a road based on a road condition and a device condition, a controller to control a driving operation of the vehicle body based on an estimation result obtained by the driving estimator, and a communicator to transmit to an external device driving information regarding driving the vehicle body under control of the controller. The controller is configured or programmed to drive the vehicle body based on a command received from the external device after transmission of the driving information from the communicator to the external device.

Working machine

An agricultural machine includes a traveling vehicle body, a coupler to couple a working implement with the traveling vehicle body, and a takeoff/landing station to restrict a skid of an unmanned aerial vehicle when the unmanned aerial vehicle takes off or lands. The agricultural machine includes a protector to protect an operator's seat. The takeoff/landing station is provided on the protector. The takeoff/landing station is attached to the protector and includes an arm extending in a horizontal direction when the unmanned aerial vehicle takes off or lands.

Agricultural machine

An agricultural machine includes a swath information acquiring module, a first determining module to determine a traveling path of an automatic operation based on a position of a swath, a setting module to set a work continuation width based on the traveling path, a second determining module to determine, when there is a manual operation by a worker during the automatic operation, whether the agricultural machine during the manual operation is within the work continuation width, and an executing module to execute the automatic operation. The executing module restores the agricultural machine to the traveling path after a termination of the manual operation and continues the automatic operation when the agricultural machine is within the work continuation width, and cancels the automatic operation when the agricultural machine is determined to be not within the work continuation width.

A control system to control a work machine and a traveling vehicle traveling with the work machine, includes a first communication device and a second communication device each of which controls operation of the traveling vehicle and at least one of which includes an authenticator to authenticate the work machine by communicating with a third communication device to control operation of the work machine, and a notifier to notify the other one of the first communication device and the second communication device that the authenticator succeeded in authentication, the first communication device and the second communication device each being prohibited, unless the authenticator succeeds in authentication, from at least controlling operation of the traveling vehicle in accordance with information sent from the third communication device.

Control system and traveling vehicle

A tractor includes a controller configured to make a determination as to whether stopping control is necessary and to start the stopping control, based on a relation between a target bale size and a current bale size and a stopping distance corresponding to a vehicle speed and a surrounding environment.

Traveling vehicle and working vehicle

An agricultural machine includes a baler controller configured or programmed to obtain an ejector inclination value from a positional relation between a tractor inclination sensor and a bale ejector of a baler, the ejector inclination value being a sensor value of the inclination sensor corresponding to the bale ejector, and to allow ejection of the bale when a size of the bale in the baler is larger than a first threshold value and the ejector inclination value is less than a second threshold value.

A controller for a baler, includes an ejecting position acquisition circuit, a prohibited position acquisition circuit, and a control circuit. The ejecting position acquisition circuit is configured to acquire an ejecting position at which an ejecting unit of the baler is configured to eject a bale of grass. The prohibited position acquisition circuit is configured to acquire a prohibited position. The control circuit is configured to control the ejecting unit to eject the bale at the ejecting position if the ejecting position is different from the prohibited position.

Controller for baler and grass management system

A grass management system includes a prohibition determination circuit and a baler. The prohibition determination circuit is configured to determine a prohibition position. The baler is configured to acquire the prohibition position from the prohibition determination circuit, and eject a bale of grass at a position except for the prohibition position.

Grass management system and grass management method

Work vehicle having a coupling member which is switchable between a coupled state where left/right brake operation tools are integrally coupled and a released state releasing the coupling. A coupled state detector is utilized. A controller controls a traveling state and is switchable between a first or normal mode and a second or vehicle speed suppression mode. The second or vehicle speed suppression mode can be switched back to the first or normal mode when the coupled state is detected and a predetermined releasing operation is performed.

Work vehicle with speed control system

In addition to improving security of data communication between a control device and a mobile terminal, to make it possible to easily make the data communication. A working machine of the present invention is provided with a control device that can make wireless communication with a mobile terminalstoring a mobile-use ID code and stores a working machine-use ID code, wherein the control device is provided with: ID code checking meansadapted to check the mobile-use ID code obtained by ID code obtaining meansand the working machine-use ID code with each other; data communication meansadapted, in the case where as a result of the checking by the checking means, matching between the ID codes is established, to allow data communication between the mobile terminaland the control device, and in the case where the matching is not established, not to allow the data communication; and ID code registration means adapted to register the working machine-use ID code in the mobile terminalas the mobile-use ID code.

Working machine and setting change system for working machine

To easily perform setting (connection and non-connection) of a termination resistor. An electronic device configured to be connected to an in-vehicle network of a working machine and to work for the working machine, includes: a termination resistor configured to be connected to the in-vehicle network; a switch part configured to be switched between a connection state where the termination resistor is connected to the in-vehicle network and a non-connection state where the termination resistor is not connected to the in-vehicle network; and a control part configured to control an switching operation of the switch part.

Electronic device, working machine, and management system for termination resistor

A driving support information display device includes a status display area controller, a menu display area controller, and a status information controller. The status display area controller manages a status display area having a plurality of status display sections arranged vertically in one side area of a display screen. The menu display area controller manages an upper menu display area having a plurality of selection button sections arranged side by side in an upper area of the display screen and a lower menu display area having a plurality of selection button sections arranged side by side in a lower area of the display screen. The status information controller displays status information in the status display section by providing to the status display area controller status information relating to a functional module assigned to the selection button section that has been touch input.
