  • Patent number: 11264693
    Abstract: Systems and methods for mounting antennas to a vehicle provide for reducing a height by which the antennas extend from a vehicle while maintaining the antennas as the furthest extending component in a vertical direction from the vehicle. The systems and methods also maintain antennas towards an interior of the vehicle, such as inward of a leading edge of the vehicle, in order to reduce risk of damage, displacement, or both of the antennas.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 5, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 1, 2022
    Assignee: Deere & Company

  • Publication number: 20210175599
    Abstract: Systems and methods for mounting antennas to a vehicle are disclosed. Particularly, systems and methods for mounting geopositioning antennas to work vehicles are disclosed. The systems and methods provide for reducing a height by which the antennas extend from a vehicle while maintaining the antennas as the furthest extending component in a vertical direction from the vehicle. The systems and methods also maintain antennas towards an interior of the vehicle, such as inward of a leading edge of the vehicle, in order to reduce risk of damage, displacement, or both of the antennas.

  • Patent number: 10041226
    Abstract: A work vehicle includes a main frame extending along a longitudinal axis and a pair of actuators mounted to the main frame. The actuators are configured to set an orientation of a tool mounted below the main frame, which in a home position center the tool on the longitudinal axis. An operator cabin mounted to the main frame has a pair of structural posts extending from a floor to a roof at a front side of the operator cabin. An operator seat mounted in the operator cabin faces forward so as to create a forward field of view to the tool for an operator seated in the operator seat. The front structural posts are spaced apart laterally on each side of the main frame at a distance from a longitudinal axis such that they each overlap along a reference line one of the actuators within a forward-looking field of view.

  • Patent number: 9663923
    Abstract: A valve stack assembly includes a first valve assembly having at least one valve and defining a first plurality of fluid passageways. The valve stack assembly also includes a second valve assembly having at least one valve and defining a second plurality of fluid passageways. An end block defines a third plurality of fluid passageways. The end block is mechanically and fluidly coupled to the first valve assembly and the second valve assembly, such that the third plurality of fluid passageways fluidly couples the first plurality of fluid passageways and the second plurality of fluid passageways to one another. The first valve assembly is disposed along a first valve axis and the second valve assembly is disposed along a second valve axis. The first valve axis is offset from the second valve axis.
