  • Patent number: 11937525
    Abstract: A combination of a tractive machine and plow, has a driver assistance system having an input/output unit. The plow is adjustable with machine parameters, wherein a portion is manually adjustable and/or automatically adjustable by means of the tractive machine. A plow adjust assistant determines in a dialog with an operator in a plurality of dialog steps, optimized machine parameters of the plow and/or of the tractive machine that are to be adjusted. The plow adjust assistant automatically adjusts a portion of the machine parameters determined in the first dialog step and/or gives the operator a portion for adjusting and determines further optimized machine parameters of the plow based on these machine parameters and gives these further optimized machine parameters of the plow to the operator for adjustment of the plow in a second dialog step and/or automatically adjusts them at the plow.

  • Publication number: 20180329618
    Abstract: An agricultural machine, such as a tractor, includes a driver assistance system that has an input/output unit. The input/output unit carries out settings relating to an agricultural working task by an operator and displays virtual operating elements, allowing the settings and the displaying of information corresponding to the settings to be or have been made. The input/output unit allows for an interactive setting of at least one parameter of the agricultural machine and/or at least one working unit for implementing or supporting the agricultural working task, with the interactive setting being performed in a symbol-based and/or image-based or guided manner. Further, the at settable parameter, its value, or value range is preselected by the driver assistance system based on the agricultural working task selected, the working unit selected, or added on by the operator.
