  • Publication number: 20250204302
    Abstract: A seed to ground system for a row unit of an agricultural planting implement includes a housing. An impeller-like member is rotated in the housing to move seed from an upper end to a lower end. A series of floors are vertically spaced to control the speed of the seed moved by the rotating impeller as well. The seed is delivered to a rotating wheel at a lower end of the housing. The rotating wheel is rotated at a speed to substantially match the ground speed of the planting implement so that the seed that is delivered to and from the wheel will be dispensed with substantially zero net horizontal velocity into a furrow in the field.

  • Publication number: 20230255132
    Abstract: A predictive path lookahead system is used with an agricultural vehicle and/or agricultural implement. A variety of factors relating to the vehicle and/or implement are input into the system in order to measure and process the vehicle and/or implement's motion. A navigation orientation tool is also input into the system. The system then generates a predicted lookahead trajectory and/or predicted future position of the vehicle and/or implement and can display the predicted lookahead trajectory and/or predicted future position to a user. The system can automatically turn ON and/or turn OFF a row unit or can manually alert a user when to do so based on the predicted trajectory of the implement. The system can engage in auto-steering to operate the vehicle and/or implement autonomously.
