  • Patent number: 11732822
    Abstract: A retention mechanism provided for use with a first line and a second line comprises a flexible convoluted web, a first conduit, and a second conduit. The first conduit defines a first passageway through the web, and is configured to receive the first line through the first passageway. The second conduit defines a second passageway through the web, and is configured to receive the second line through the second passageway. The first and second conduits are attached to and surrounded by the web such that the web enables movement of the first and second lines when the first and second lines are fixed respectively to the first and second conduits and extend respectively through the first and second passageways.

  • Publication number: 20220105767
    Abstract: An agricultural machine includes a frame, a ground-engaging element, a suspension system that movably supports the frame relative to the ground-engaging element, wherein the suspension system is configured to apply, for a given displacement of the frame relative to the ground-engaging element, a force based on a force-to-displacement relationship. A control system is configured to receive an input indicative of an operational state of the agricultural machine during operation on a terrain, and automatically control the suspension system to adjust the force-to-displacement relationship of the suspension system based on the operational state.

  • Patent number: 10632594
    Abstract: A clamp fastening device is configured to attach a work line to a work machine. The clamp fastening device includes a clamp structure with a line aperture configured to receive the line. The clamp structure is configured to releasably clamp to and retain a segment of the line within the line aperture. The clamp fastening device also includes a mount structure configured to be supported on an area of the work machine. The mount structure is moveably attached to the clamp structure to support movement of the clamp structure relative to the mount structure along at least one direction. The mount structure is configured to support movement of the clamp structure and the segment of the line relative to the area of the work machine along the at least one direction.
