The present disclosure relates to an agriculture operation monitoring system comprises at least one implement adapted to be mounted to a work vehicle, a wireless communication element, and a data storage and processing system. The implement comprises one or a plurality of sensors arranged to obtain sensor signals related to at least one hydraulic function of the implement and a local control element. The local control element is arranged to receive sensor signals obtained by the at least one sensor, to determine at least one present setting related to an operational status of the implement based on the received sensor signals and to feed a status message related to the present setting to the wireless communication element. The wireless communication element is arranged to transmit the status message to the data storage and processing system or to at least one electronic user device.

Agriculture operation monitoring system and monitoring method

An implement connectable to a work vehicle includes an arm, a fastening arrangement arranged at a first part of the arm, and an attaching arrangement. The fastening arrangement is connectable to the work vehicle an attaching arrangement is arranged at second part of the arm. The attaching arrangement is attachable to a tool. The implement further includes a second hydraulic circuit configured to carry hydraulic fluid to at least one second hydraulic function. The first hydraulic function comprises a lifting function and a local control element. The implement further includes at least one second sensor arranged to obtain sensor signals at least related to the lifting function, a local control element and a digital interface to the work vehicle. The control element is arranged to receive and process the received sensor signals so as to determine a load weight and to feed the determined load weight to the digital interface.

Implement and a method for obtaining information related to said implement

A control system () for operating a mechanical function is disclosed. The system () includes a lever (), a housing () and at least one control cable (). The lever () is pivotable and includes at least one seat () for receiving a first coupling element () of the at least one control cable (). The control system () further includes at least one adapter element (), and the housing () further includes at least one first recess (). The at least one seat () of the lever and the at least one first recess () of the housing () include first and second open spaces () that are aligned with each other in an assembly direction (). This allows for a simultaneous coupling of the first coupling element () to the at least one seat () and the adapter element () to the at least one first recess () of the housing (), along said assembly direction ().

The present disclosure relates to an agricultural monitoring system and method for monitoring a nutrient flow within an agricultural site. The method comprises the steps of detecting a quantity related to a carried material of a known material type; determining a nutrient content of the captured material based on the detected quantity and based on at least one nutrient content parameter value associated with the carried material; obtaining information related to a source location and a target location for the carried material, and forming information related to the nutrient flow, said information comprising the source location, the target location, information related to the determined nutrient content of the carried material and preferably material type of the carried material.

Agricultural monitoring system and method

The invention relates to an agricultural device for semi-automatic movement of a holding tool, for holding an object, between two positions, said two positions being at different heights. The device comprises said holding tool for holding the object, load sensing means for determining if the holding tool holds an object, driving means () for moving the holding tool up and down, a control unit for controlling the driving means, and a user interface for user input to the control unit. The device can be used in two modes of operations, wherein the holding tool in a first mode of operation is freely movably, and in a second mode of operation is semi-automatically movable between a plurality of determined positions (URP, UPP, LRP, LPP) depending on if the holding tool is holding an object or not, and which command is given to the user interface. The invention further relates to an agricultural vehicle comprising such an agricultural device, a method for an agricultural device, for such semi-automatic movement, and software for obtaining information related to driving means, said software being adapted to perform the method according to the invention.

The present disclosure relates to an implement connectable to a working vehicle. The implement includes an arm, a fastening arrangement arranged at a first part of the arm, and an attaching arrangement connected to a second part of the arm. The fastening arrangement is connectable to the working vehicle. The attaching arrangement is attachable to a working tool. The implement further includes a first hydraulic circuit configured to carry hydraulic fluid to at least one first hydraulic function and a local control element. The implement further includes a digital interface to the working vehicle. The local control element is arranged to receive an operator control signal via said digital interface for operator control of the at least one first hydraulic function.

Implement and method for controlling the implement

The present disclosure relates to an implement connectable to a work vehicle. The implement comprises an arm, a fastening arrangement arranged at a first part of the arm, and an attaching arrangement. The fastening arrangement is connectable to the work vehicle. The attaching arrangement is connected to a second part of the arm. The implement further includes a first hydraulic circuit configured to carry hydraulic fluid to at least one first hydraulic function, at least one first sensor arranged to obtain sensor signals at least related to the at least one first function, a local control element, and a digital interface. The local control element is arranged to receive the obtained sensor signals, to calculate at least one state parameter related to the implement based on the obtained sensor signals, and to feed the calculated state parameter to the digital interface.
