Boom for agricultural machine

An agricultural planting machine includes a frame and a planting system supported on the frame and configured to plant seeds in a row. The planting system includes a ground-engaging element movable relative to the frame and configured to engage a ground surface of a field. A field contour detection system is configured to receive in-situ sensor data representing a location of the ground-engaging element, generate field contour data representing a contour of the ground surface based on the in-situ sensor data, and generate a control signal based on the field contour data.

A spray boom assembly includes a first boom frame and a second boom frame pivotally coupled via a hinge assembly to the first boom frame about a pivot axis. The spray boom also includes an actuator assembly for pivoting the second boom frame relative to the first boom frame. The hinge assembly includes a first joint location, a second joint location, a third joint location, a fourth joint location, and a fifth joint location. A first end of the actuator assembly is coupled to the hinge assembly at the fourth joint location and a second end thereof is coupled to the first boom frame at a sixth joint location. A spherical joint is located at at least three of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth joint locations.

Boom truss panel for agricultural machine

A boom segment is provided for a spray boom assembly configured to carry a spray system of a work vehicle. The boom segment includes a truss panel formed as a unitary structure composed of fiber composite material and configured to support components of the spray system. The truss panel includes a panel wall extending along a length of the truss panel and defining an upper beam, a lower beam, and an array of braces spaced apart and extending diagonally and seamlessly between the upper beam and the lower beam to define a series of truss openings therebetween and a plurality of rigidifying ribs formed integrally with and projecting at an angle from the panel wall.

Folding spray implements and agricultural work vehicle equipped with folding spray implements are provided. In embodiments, the folding spray implement includes a centerframe assembly, boom assemblies mounted to opposing sides of the centerframe assembly, and an actuation system coupled to the centerframe and boom assemblies. The boom assemblies include, in turn, inner wings pivotally joined to the centerframe assembly for rotation about frame-to-wing fold joints, as well as outer wings pivotally joined to the inner wings for rotation about wing-to-wing fold joints. The actuation system selectively transitions the folding spray implement: (i) from a stowed position in which axes of wing-to-wing fold joints extend principally in horizontal directions; (ii) through an intermediate unfolded position in which the axes of the wing-to-wing fold joints extend principally in vertical directions; and (iii) to a deployed position in which the axes of the wing-to-wing fold joints extend principally in horizontal directions.

Folding spray implements having low peak fold height-to-wingspan ratios and agricultural work vehicles including the same

A return to neutral control mechanism for a zero turning radius mower is disclosed. The return to neutral control mechanism includes a pair of control levers pivotable between forward, neutral and reverse positions. A brake pedal is moveable between a disengaged position to an engaged position. In response to engagement of the brake pedal, a control pivot attached to each control lever moves each control lever to the neutral position. The return to neutral control mechanism may include a cam that rotates in response to engagement of the brake pedal, and a control pivot that follows the cam during engagement of the brake pedal.

An electric implement lift system for mower cutting units may include an electric motor having a rotatable output shaft with a pivot bracket mounted thereto, a lift link or a pair of lift links, each lift link having a first end connected to the pivot bracket and a second end connected to a lift arm, the output shaft rotatable in a first direction to raise the mower cutting unit and in a second direction to lower the mower cutting unit. The output shaft may be rotatable in the first direction to move the cutting unit to a top/center position and rotatable further in the first direction to move the cutting unit to a raised/transport position.
