Abstract
A combination is provided of an agricultural implement and vehicle. The implement includes components that can be driven that are connected to a power take-off shaft of the vehicle, the components being covered by at least one manually opened cover. A sensor is also provided to detect the open status of the cover, that is coupled to an electronic control unit of the implement. The electronic control unit, is connected with an electronic control unit of the vehicle. The electronic control unit of the implement instructs the electronic control unit of the vehicle in case of an opening of the cover detected by the sensor and advises an actuator to disengage a clutch of the power take-off shaft and/or to prevent the actuator from engaging the clutch.
