Abstract: Disclosed is an autonomous agricultural carrier vehicle including a frame construction with mounting devices configured to carry and guide at least one agricultural implement; at least two chassis constructions which are mounted on the frame construction; a drive apparatus having a drive train which is coupled to the least two chassis constructions and is configured to specify a driving speed; and a control apparatus and an environment sensor system which is signal-connected and/or signal-connectable to the control apparatus. The chassis constructions are preferably mounted rotatably about at least 90° about vertically oriented axes. Also disclosed is an autonomous agricultural machine in combination with the autonomous agricultural carrier vehicle.

Abstract: An autonomous agricultural carrier vehicle, for carrying an agricultural implement includes a chassis with steerable wheels or tracks attached to a frame, wherein the frame includes a mounting apparatus for connection to the agricultural implement. The vehicle further includes an environmental sensor system for determining obstacles or elements present in the vicinity of the carrier vehicle and a control device for controlling the carrier vehicle or the at least one implement, wherein the control device is connected to a position determination system that captures and issues a position to create an autonomous agricultural carrier vehicle with which the impact force is not reduced. No additional tractor vehicle is needed for the implement and no operator is necessary during field work, wherein it is provided that position-dependent working instructions for the carrier vehicle are preferably stored in the control device.

Abstract: A towed agricultural implement comprising a central frame to which laterally extending side frames are connected for supporting a plurality of ground working tools and in which each side frame is supported above the ground by a swiveling wheel which freely pivots when moving forward but which can be locked in perpendicular alignment to the side frame when moving in reverse.

Abstract: Disclosed is an independent wheel suspension (1) for a steerable wheel (37) having a motor (3). The motor is connected via a linear guide (5), which is movable in an approximately vertical direction (A), to a revolute joint (7) which produces a steering connection, pivotable about an at least approximately vertically running axis of rotation (B), to a vehicle frame (39). The linear guide (5) is coupled to a fluidic spring and/or damping element (9) which forms a load-bearing constituent part of the revolute joint (7).

Abstract: A towed agricultural machine for tillage purposes and/or for sowing seeds is disclosed. The machine comprises a running gear, tillage tools, and a packer unit, the latter being coupled to the running gear and forming a constructional and/or functional unit therewith. In a first operating position, the running gear is in an active position for road traffic and the packer tools are brought outside the engagement range with the ground. In a second operating position, the running gear, or at least parts thereof, are in an inactive position out of contact range with the ground, while the packer tools are in an active mode in engagement with the ground.

Abstract: An agricultural machine has a movable rack (10) having at least one main wheel (16, 18), a hitch (12) which is arranged on the rack (10), a reservoir container (14) which is carried by the rack (10) and/or the hitch (12), and an agricultural implement (20) which is attached to the rack (10) at the rear in the direction of travel and has a plurality of rear support wheels (28). The machine is developed to the effect that the at least one main wheel (16, 18) is positively steered as a function of the pulling direction of a traction force which is exerted on the hitch (12). Such a machine is particularly compact and maneuverable even when the reservoir container is large.

Abstract: A sowing device for discharging metered quantities of seed, fertilizer or the like grains is characterized in that the metering device is provided with one or more exchangeable cellular wheels (17), that the housing (16) of the metering device, which accommodates the cellular wheel (17) is designed axially symmetrical at both opposing faces in relation to the driving unit, the bearing and the assembly of the metering device and the fastening thereof, and has a removable shaft (18), that the housing (16) is designed without bearing, and at least one driving unit (22) with bearing and/or at least one bearing unit (24) is coupled thereto, that the shaft (18) in the form of a plug-on or slip-on shaft is supported in the driving and/or bearing unit(s), and that the driving and/or the bearing unit can be plugged, screwed or similarly attached to the housing (16).

Abstract: An agricultural machine with a loading area above the rear axle assembly, a driver's cabin between front axle and rear axle assembly, an engine within the front area of the vehicle and a front frame associated to the front axle assembly as well a rear frame associated to the rear axle assembly is structured in such a manner that the rear axle assembly is provided with a travelling mechanism or alternatively a crawler unit preferably a crawler belt unit, with low loading area and with a swinging axle; the front axle assembly is provided with single tires or with a travelling mechanism resp.
