  • Publication number: 20250017123
    Abstract: A method for controlling a three-point hitch, having left and right lower linkages with each pivotably linked to a tractor-side support structure in a first end region and each having a coupling element for attaching accessory equipment in a second end region, includes pivoting the lower linkages via a lifting mechanism which lifts and lowers the coupling elements with respect to the ground, and activating the lifting mechanism in a cleaning mode via a control unit such that an acceleration pulse directed towards the ground is produced in the region of the coupling elements by interrupting a short-stroke lowering movement generated at the lower linkages.

  • Patent number: 11913192
    Abstract: A method for tipping out a cargo load from a reception unit includes providing the reception unit on a lifting device of a work machine, performing a tipping out process of a mass of cargo load from the reception unit, detecting a predetermined residual mass of the cargo load remaining in the reception unit, detecting a predetermined loading mass tipped out during the tipping step, and completing the tipping out process as a function of the predetermined residual mass or the predetermined loading mass.
