  • Publication number: 20190378354
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an agriculture operation monitoring system comprises at least one implement adapted to be mounted to a work vehicle, a wireless communication element, and a data storage and processing system. The implement comprises one or a plurality of sensors arranged to obtain sensor signals related to at least one hydraulic function of the implement and a local control element. The local control element is arranged to receive sensor signals obtained by the at least one sensor, to determine at least one present setting related to an operational status of the implement based on the received sensor signals and to feed a status message related to the present setting to the wireless communication element. The wireless communication element is arranged to transmit the status message to the data storage and processing system or to at least one electronic user device.

  • Publication number: 20190230865
    Abstract: The invention relates to an agricultural device for semi-automatic movement of a holding tool, for holding an object, between two positions, said two positions being at different heights. The device comprises said holding tool for holding the object, load sensing means for determining if the holding tool holds an object, driving means (9) for moving the holding tool up and down, a control unit for controlling the driving means, and a user interface for user input to the control unit. The device can be used in two modes of operations, wherein the holding tool in a first mode of operation is freely movably, and in a second mode of operation is semi-automatically movable between a plurality of determined positions (URP, UPP, LRP, LPP) depending on if the holding tool is holding an object or not, and which command is given to the user interface.

  • Patent number: 7674085
    Abstract: An arrangement for a loader makes it possible to attach a tool to the loader. The arrangement comprises a locking arrangement for determining the position of the tool and locking it to the arrangement in this position, and a safety arrangement that ensures that the locking arrangement takes up its locking position only when a tool is correctly arranged at the attachment arrangement. The arrangement includes a part that functions independently of the locking arrangement and that can retain the locking arrangement in an open position that does not perform the locking function, and a releasing part that releases the locking arrangement from the retaining part.
