  • Publication number: 20260307576
    Abstract: Tender trailers for agricultural machines include a chassis, a tender arm assembly, and a coupling system. The tender arm assembly is coupled to the chassis and guides a hose extending from the tender trailer toward the agricultural machine. The coupling system is coupled to the hose and supported by the tender arm assembly.

  • Publication number: 20260305594
    Abstract: A commodity transfer assembly is provided that includes a first connector assembly coupled to one of an agricultural vehicle and a tendering vehicle, and a mating second connector assembly coupled to the other of the agricultural vehicle and the tendering vehicle. The first connector assembly can include a support assembly that couples the first connector assembly to the agricultural or tendering vehicle, and a flipper arm assembly that can include a rock shaft that can be coupled to the support assembly. The flipper arm assembly can include a pair of flipper arms that can be selectively rotated via rotation of the flipper arm assembly about the rock shaft. The flipper arms can generally define an opening having a converging configuration that is configured to accommodate, and correct, lateral misalignment between mating first and second connectors of the first connector assembly and second connector assembly, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20260271909
    Abstract: A link assembly for a wing assembly having an inner wing hinge that is coupled to a first wing, and which has a cam slot that receives a cam pin that is coupled to an inner wing link. A link slot of inner wing link receives an inner link pin that is coupled to the inner wing hinge. As the wing assembly unfolds, the inner link pin is pivotally captured at a location within the link slot, and the cam pin moves toward a transition point. The cam slot is configured to prevent a latch arm coupled to the second wing from contacting the cam pin as the wing assembly unfolds. When the wing assembly is unfolded, and the cam pin moves past the transition point and towards an engagement with the latch arm, the inner wing link is at least slidingly displaced about the inner link pin.

  • Patent number: 11980180
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a suspended center frame attached to boom wings, and coupled to a fixed center frame. A suspended center frame can be suspended from a fixed center frame with a bearing at a pivot point to allow for pivoting in multiple axes. The suspended frame can comprise one or more dampers that are operably, pivotably coupled with the fixed frame to dampen movement of the suspended frame in the roll axis; and one or more connecting links that are operably, pivotably coupled with the fixed frame to control movement of the suspended frame in the yaw and/or pitch axis. The pivot point can be located above the center of gravity of a suspended portion of the system, and proximate a top portion of the fixed frame; and the links and dampers can be disposed at a bottom portion of the suspended frame.
