Abstract
A method and apparatus for adjusting the working depth of a soil-moving (soil-working, tilling) machine carried by a tractor includes adjusting the position of the machine in relation to the tractor in dependence upon a traction signal and upon a position signal. The traction signal corresponds to the traction produced on the machine in the soil and the position signal corresponds to the position of the machine in relation to the tractor. A portion of the traction signal above a certain cut-off frequency and a portion of the position signal below the same cut-off frequency or below a lower one are utilized in the adjusting control.
