  • Patent number: 11297763
    Abstract: A particulate material agitation and leveling system includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a sensor signal indicative of a measured weight distribution of a particulate material within a storage tank of an agricultural system, determine whether a determined variation between the measured weight distribution and a target weight distribution is greater than a threshold variation, and control an agitator to decrease the determined variation in response to determining that the determined variation is greater than the threshold variation.

  • Patent number: 11039568
    Abstract: A particulate material leveling system includes an agitating system disposed within a storage tank for a particulate material. The agitating system includes a drive system and a shaft coupled to the drive system. Further, the drive system drives the shaft to rotate about a central axis. The agitating system also includes a wrapped wire coupled to the shaft. The wrapped wire extends around the shaft along a helical path in an axial direction and a circumferential direction, and the wrapped wire moves the particulate material in the axial direction in response to rotation of the shaft in a first direction about the central axis.

  • Patent number: 11019762
    Abstract: A method of precision depth control for seed planting units of an agricultural implement. The agricultural implement can include a plurality of seed planting units, with each seed planting unit being configured to provide an individually adjustable depth setting and having a visual indicator associated therewith. The method can include receiving a selection of a seed planting unit of the plurality of seed planting units, visually indicating the selected seed planting unit with the visual indicator associated therewith, receiving depth adjustment data for the selected seed planting unit, and adjusting the depth of the selected seed planting unit based on the depth adjustment data.

  • Patent number: 10939609
    Abstract: An agricultural implement system that includes a depth adjustment system that couples to a row unit and adjusts a depth of an opener relative to a soil surface. The depth adjustment system includes a cam that rotates about an axis. A cam follower contacts the cam and adjusts a position of a packer wheel to adjust the depth of the opener.

  • Patent number: 10925207
    Abstract: An agricultural implement system that includes a mount system that couples to a row unit. The mount system supports a depth adjustment system that adjusts a depth of an opener relative to a soil surface. The mount system includes a plate that couples to the row unit in a plurality of positions to change an orientation of the depth adjustment system relative to the row unit.

  • Patent number: 10820469
    Abstract: A seed planting unit of an agricultural implement may include a wheel support arm having an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion defining a depth adjustment slot. A wheel may be rotatably supported by the lower portion of the wheel support arm, the wheel configured to contact the soil surface to define a penetration depth setting for the ground engaging tool relative to the soil surface. A depth adjustment lever is selectively movable relative to the wheel support arm to vary the penetration depth setting for the ground engaging tool. The lever may include a guide pin that is configured to be received within the depth adjustment slot, the guide pin configured to move within the depth adjustment slot as the depth adjustment lever is moved relative to the wheel support arm to adjust a vertical position of the wheel relative to the ground engaging tool.

  • Publication number: 20190230848
    Abstract: A particulate material sensing and agitation control system includes a controller with a memory and a processor, where the controller is configured to receive at least one sensor signal indicative of a measured profile of a particulate material within a storage tank of an agricultural system, determine whether a variation between the measured profile and a target profile is greater than a threshold value, and output a first output signal to a user interface indicative of instructions to inform an operator of a profile variation, output a second signal to an agitating system indicative of activation of the agitating system, or a combination thereof, in response to determining that the variation between the measured profile and the target profile is greater than the threshold value.
