  • Publication number: 20250031618
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for automatically adjusting conditioning rollers of a crimping implement, such as those used to condition hay or other crimped crops, such as cover crops. Adjustments can be made on the fly to rollers, crimpers, or down pressure applicators used to condition the crop based on several factors such as the condition of the crop, the type of crop, and more. Sensors can be used to detect the crops and others' conditions before and after conditioning, and automatic adjustments can be made, such as the distance between conditioning rollers, and/or the pressure applied by the rollers, etc. to meet a desired crop condition for the crimped crop.

  • Publication number: 20240292826
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining image data indicative of plant matter on a field and identifying, based on the image data, one or more areas on the field in a path of an agricultural machine to apply an agricultural product. The agricultural machine includes a product application system having a plurality of actuatable applicator mechanisms, and the one or more areas includes some, but not all, of the field in the path of an agricultural machine. The method includes operating the product application system to apply the agricultural product to the one or more areas, and generating a user interface display that displays a field representation that visually distinguishes the one or more areas, identified based on the image data, from other areas on the field.

  • Patent number: 12010986
    Abstract: An agricultural machine includes a product application system comprising a plurality of actuatable applicator mechanisms. Each actuatable applicator mechanism configured to apply a substance on a field. An imaging system is configured to obtain image data indicative of plant matter on the field. A control system is configured to control one or more of the actuatable applicator mechanisms to apply the substance to a dispersal area on the field based on the image data, and generate a user interface display that displays a field map including a display element that represents the dispersal area on the field.

  • Patent number: 11340092
    Abstract: Work vehicle display systems and methods for generating map displays including automatic section control (ASC) lookahead symbology are disclosed. In embodiments, the work vehicle display system includes a display device on which a map display is generated, a position tracking data source, and a controller architecture. The controller architecture is operable in an ASC lookahead mode in which the controller architecture: (i) projects a future position of the work implement at a future timepoint based, at least in part, on data received from the position tracking data source; (ii) projects future operative states of the implement sections at the future timepoint when the implement sections are controlled by an ASC system; and (iii) generates ASC lookahead symbology on the map display visually indicating the projected future position of the work implement and the projected future operative states of the implement sections.
