Abstract: A golf course implement lift system includes a global positioning system for mapping a plurality of obstacles on a golf course, and an electro-hydraulic three point hitch with a towed implement attached thereto. The electro-hydraulic three point hitch is raised when the global positioning system detects the towed implement is approaching one of the plurality of obstacles.

Abstract: Embodiments of an intelligent hinged boom excavation system include a hinged boom assembly terminating in an excavation tool, an electro-hydraulic (EH) actuation subsystem, and boom assembly tracking sensors providing tracking data indicative of excavation tool movement. A controller architecture is operable in an excavation depth limiting mode in which the controller architecture: (i) tracks a current position of the excavation tool relative to a virtual excavation floor utilizing the tracking data provided by the boom assembly tracking sensors; (ii) determines when an operator-commanded movement of the hinged boom assembly will result in breach of the virtual excavation floor by the excavation tool; and (iii) when determining that an operator-commanded movement of the hinged boom assembly will result in breach of the virtual excavation floor, controls the EH actuation subsystem to modify the operator-commanded movement in a manner preventing breach of the virtual excavation floor by the excavation tool.

Abstract: A remote tractor control system with a hand held remote control unit having an enable button that when actuated sends signals from a plurality of command buttons on the hand held remote control unit to a three point hitch controller, a transmission controller and an engine controller on a tractor. When not actuated, a rear switch module may be used to raise and lower the three point hitch or creep in forward or reverse, while the hand held remote control unit may display information about tractor condition from the engine controller.
