Abstract: A system and method for spray boom cleanout. A spray boom cleanout assembly is provided over a fluid pipe of an agricultural sprayer. The spray boom cleanout assembly includes an end cap body having a vent configured to release trapped air from the fluid pipe through a spray nozzle as the fluid pipe is filled with a fluid. The end cap body is coupled by an adapter to a fluid flush valve allowing for improved cleanout of fluid from the end of the fluid pipe after a spraying operation.

Abstract: A system for planting cover crop seeds in fields with standing row crops. A high-clearance agricultural vehicle is provided with a high-clearance toolbar. The system is provided with soil sealers. A seeder with a reciprocating seeder is provided above the soil sealers to deliver various types of seeds onto the disrupted soil, after which the soil sealers cover the seeds with soil.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for rotating a boom assembly relative to an agricultural vehicle. The system is arranged with a fixed transom and rotating transom wherein the rotating transom has a pivot point positioned below both fixed and rotating transoms. The system is provided with a plurality of rotors and tracks to allow the pivot point to be positioned lower than that of prior art systems to allow the boom assembly to more accurately track the contours of row crops in undulating landscapes.

Abstract: A system for maintaining a wiper blade generally perpendicular to a curved windshield as the wiper moves throughout its stroke. A four bar linkage system is coupled to a first bevel gear causing it to drive a second bevel gear coupled to the wiper, thereby maintaining the wiper in a generally perpendicular orientation relative to the curved windshield. The windshield wiper system may be used as a single blade or may be used in tandem with blades running either independently or in a synchronized manner.

Abstract: A system for planting cover crop seeds in fields with standing row crops. A high-clearance agricultural vehicle is provided with a high-clearance toolbar. A plurality of ground-engaging arm assemblies depend from the toolbar. The toolbar is provided with a plurality of seeders that may be provided on the arm assemblies. The arm assemblies are provided with trailing portions to which are attached soil sealers. The system travels through the field, delivering seeds between rows of standing crops. The soil sealers cover the seeds with soil.

Abstract: A system and method for varying the tread width of a vehicle. The system includes extensible shafts coupled to the wheels of the vehicle. Eccentric cylinders rotate out of frictional locking engagement with the extensible shafts to allow the extensible shafts to be extended or refracted to adjust the tread width of the vehicle. The eccentric cylinders rotate into frictional locking engagement with the extensible shafts to reduce undesired travel of the extensible shafts during vehicle operation.

Abstract: For low height row crops, the system is a toolbar provided with a plurality of depending legs coupled to discs. Provided behind the discs are nitrogen dispensing systems coupled to a large fluid tank provided on a vehicle. By using medium height legs, the system is able to provide material to the soil after crops have emerged, while still allowing a large number of rows of crops to be treated with each application pass.

Abstract: A system and method for raising and lowering a vehicle. The system includes a four-bar linkage provided for each wheel. The four-bar linkage includes a first three linkage assembly and a second three linkages assembly. The first three linkage assembly maintains the orientation of the vehicle relative to the wheel during the lifting and lowering while the second linkage assembly provides the power to lift and lower the vehicle. Power provided by a hydraulic cylinder is pivotably coupled to the second linkage assembly. A steering assembly is provided between the four-bar linkage assembly and the wheel. The four-bar linkage vehicle lifting assembly may be provided on agricultural vehicles, construction vehicles, or any desired vehicle.

Abstract: A boom sprayer and method of adjusting a boom assembly. A camera is attached to the boom assembly and aimed forward of the boom sprayer. The camera collects information associated with the dimensions and location of oncoming structures, such as crops, hills, fences and the like, and relays the information to a controller. The controller uses various actuators to lift, tilt and/or pivot the boom assembly to position the boom assembly at a desired height when the boom assembly passes over the structures.
