Abstract: A control method and system which provides for an automatic quick soil system for an agricultural vehicle. The system monitors the output of a hitch draft sensor to determine if a hitch mounted implement comes into contact with the ground surface, and if so, enables a quick soil engagement module to correctly lower the hitch-mounted implement into the ground.

Abstract: An agricultural system for hydraulic flow control having an adjustable hydraulic fluid valve arranged between a hydraulic reservoir and a hydraulic consumer, pressure is measured at the reservoir-facing side and at the consumer-facing side of the valve, from which the fluid flow through the valve can be determined. The valve can then be easily controlled to provide a desired fluid flow level, regardless of the type of hydraulic circuit used.
