Abstract: An orchard harvesting cart with a receptacle, a position determining system, a load sensor, and at least one camera. As a plurality of harvested fruit items are collected and placed within a receptacle of the harvesting cart, image data from at least one camera is processed to evaluate at least one characteristic of the fruit items within the field of view of the camera including, for example, determining whether a harvested fruit item was ready for harvesting. The orchard harvesting cart also includes a position determining system and a load cell allowing the cart to monitor and detect when new fruit items are added to the receptacle and to correlate information determined by image analysis with geospatial locations in the orchard.

Abstract: A controller communicates with a user interface and sends a first signal to a first actuator to unlock a first lock, sends a second signal to move a first ground-engaging implement into a stowed position, sends a third signal to the first actuator to lock first lock to retain the first ground-engaging implement in the stowed position, sends a fourth signal to inhibit flow through a first hose with a flow blocking element, sends a fifth signal to a second actuator to unlock a second lock, sends a sixth signal to move a second ground-engaging implement into a deployed position, sends a seventh signal to the second actuator to lock the second lock to retain the second ground-engaging implement in the deployed position, and sends an eighth signal to a second flow blocking element to permit flow through a second hose around the flow blocking element.
