A position monitoring system for an agricultural system includes a light emitter configured to output a light, a sensor array having a plurality of sensors configured to receive the light output by the light emitter, and a control system configured to determine at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors of the sensor array that receives the light output by the light emitter to indicate a current parameter associated with a current orientation of an agricultural implement of the agricultural system relative to a work vehicle of the agricultural system, determine a target parameter associated with a desirable orientation of the agricultural implement relative to the work vehicle based on an operation of the agricultural system, and output a control signal in response to determining that the current parameter indicated by the at least one sensor that receives the light does not match the target parameter.

Position monitoring system for agricultural system

A flow splitter for distributing agricultural products includes a splitter body extending between upstream and downstream ends and defining an inlet port and two or more outlet ports. The splitter body includes an inner flow surface defining an interior flow volume and two or more internal grooves extending radially outwardly from the inner flow surface. A divider of the flow splitter extends within the splitter body along a central axis and includes two or more divider walls extending radially outwardly from the central axis to a distal end positioned adjacent to the inner flow surface. The divider divides at least a portion of the interior flow volume into a plurality of internal flow chambers, each being aligned with a respective outlet port. A rib extends radially outwardly from the distal end of each respective divider wall such that each rib is received within a respective internal groove.

Flow splitter for distributing agricultural products and related system

An agricultural tillage implement includes a frame member and at least one rolling basket assembly coupled to the frame member. The rolling basket assembly has at least one bearing hanger, at least one rolling basket and at least one bearing assembly rotationally coupling the rolling basket to the bearing hanger. The bearing assembly has a bearing with an inner ring and a spindle holding the inner ring. The spindle is coupled to the bearing hanger. The spindle being configured to accommodate dynamic misalignment of the bearing.

Agricultural rolling basket bearing assembly

An agricultural tillage implement includes a main frame including a hitch extending in a travel direction, at least one secondary frame, a plurality of rolling basket assemblies and a pressure control system. The secondary frame is coupled with the frame. The plurality of rolling basket assemblies include first and second rolling basket assemblies. Both first and second rolling basket assemblies are coupled to the at least one secondary frame. The first rolling basket assembly has an effective length, and the second rolling basket assembly has a different effective length. The pressure control system is configured to supply different selected pressures to the first and second rolling basket assembly to substantially equalize a down pressure per unit of effective length of the rolling basket assemblies.
