Abstract: Geotagged information about a crop harvest is captured while harvesting. The geotagged information may be communicated to a management system or other work machines. The geotagged information may be utilized by a tractor or other work vehicle during collection of the harvested crop. For instance, the vehicle may automatically control a speed or output information on a display to aid an operator to control the speed.

Abstract: An auger slip can be monitored to determine when an auger slip condition indicative of possible plugging of a harvesting work vehicle is present.

The implements may include a cutter bar, an auger, a roll gap, a swath flap, and/or a shield former. Further, an engine speed or vehicle speed of the harvesting work vehicle can be adjusted to mitigate plugging.

The row unit may be coupled to a frame of an agricultural planter by engagement between mounting features of the planter row unit to one or more rails formed on a frame of the agricultural planter.

Abstract: An agricultural row unit for planting seeds in a furrow includes an opening tool that cuts a furrow in the soil to be planted, and a gauge wheel that engages the soil to control elevation. A depth control actuator applies a controllable down force to the gauge wheel, and a sidewall compaction sensor extends into sidewalls of the furrow and produces a signal representing the compaction of the soil. A controller supplies the depth control actuator with a control signal representing a down pressure set point to form a furrow having a desired depth. The controller uses the signal representing the compaction of the soil in the sidewalls to determine whether the down pressure set point should be increased or decreased, and supplies the depth control actuator with a control signal when it is determined that the down pressure set point should be increased or decreased.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for controlling the level relative to ground of moveable wings in a spray system that includes the moveable wings mounted to a common center frame support structure attached to an associated work vehicle to form a pair of opposed independently moveable wings extending laterally from the associated work vehicle. An initial control signal is determined for moving the moveable wings based on positions of the moveable wings relative to the ground. A compensating signal is determined for compensating the initial control signal, wherein the compensating signal is derived independent from the position of the moveable wings relative to the ground and includes a flexure component dependent upon one or more flexural properties of the associated work vehicle. A level control output signal is generated for controlling the level of the moveable wings based on a combination of the initial control signal and the compensating signal.

Abstract: An information map is obtained by an agricultural system. The information map maps values of a characteristic at different geographic locations in a worksite. An in-situ sensor detects tractive characteristic values as a mobile agricultural machine operates at the worksite. A predictive map generator generates a predictive map that maps predictive tractive characteristic values at different geographic locations in the worksite based on a relationship between values of the characteristic in the information map and tractive characteristic values detected by the in-situ sensor. The predictive map can be output and used in automated machine control.

The first roller rotates either with an axle, or about an axle, and rotatably supports a track in opposition to a surface over which the track is traveling. A sensor is disposed relative to the first roller so that, as the first roller rotates, the sensor moves through a load bearing position in which the sensor is positioned between the axle and the track, bearing at least a portion of a load imposed by the track vehicle. The sensor illustratively senses pressure on the track, when in the load bearing position.

Abstract: Implementations are directed to generating a stream of agricultural annotations with respect to area(s) of interest of an agricultural field, and providing the stream of agricultural annotations for presentation to the user in an augmented reality manner with respect to the area(s) of interest. In some implementations, a stream of vision data may be received at a first computing device of the user and from a second computing device of the user. Further, the first computing device may process the stream of vision data to generate the stream of agricultural annotations. Moreover, the first computing device may transmit the stream of agricultural annotations to the second computing device to cause the stream of agricultural annotations to be provided for presentation to the user. In other implementations, the first computing device may be omitted, and the second computing device may be utilized to generate the stream of agricultural annotations.
