Abstract: An agricultural system includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The controller is configured to determine a steering angle of a work vehicle of the agricultural system, determine a target height of a ground engaging tool of the agricultural system based on the steering angle, and output a signal to control a height of the ground engaging tool relative to a soil surface based on the target height.

Abstract: A system for performing a grading operation relative to a worksite may include a plurality of site markers positioned at a different site marker locations spaced apart along the worksite. Each site marker may be associated with grading information related to one or more grading parameters to be applied at or adjacent to its respective site marker location within the worksite during the performance of the grading operation. The system may also include a grading vehicle having a marker sensor configured to capture data providing an indication of the grading information from each site marker. In addition, the system may include a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor. The controller may be configured to identify the grading information based on the data received from the marker sensor and control the operation of a component of the grading vehicle during the performance of the grading operation based on the grading parameter(s).

Abstract: In one aspect, a method for creating a final graded soil surface may include controlling an operation of a grading implement of a work vehicle such that the grading implement removes a layer of soil from a current soil surface as the work vehicle is moved in a forward direction. The method may also include receiving an input indicative of the current soil surface being at an offset soil depth relative to the initial ungraded soil surface, with the offset soil depth differing from the final soil depth. When the current soil surface is at the offset soil depth, the method may further include adjusting a position of the grading implement to add or remove soil based on a depth differential defined between the offset soil depth and the final soil depth to create the final graded soil surface as the work vehicle is moved in the reverse direction.

Abstract: A method for automatically grading a worksite using a grading vehicle may include receiving sensor data associated with detecting a light beam emitted from a light-emitting device positioned at the worksite, wherein the sensor data is received from at least one sensor installed on the grading vehicle. In addition, the method may include determining a relative horizontal distance between the grading vehicle and the light-emitting device based on the sensor data and determining a relative worksite position of the grading vehicle at the worksite based on the relative horizontal distance. Moreover, the method may include actively adjusting a position of a grading implement of the grading vehicle based on the relative worksite position of the grading vehicle to allow the worksite to be graded as the grading vehicle is moved relative to the light-emitting device across the worksite.

Abstract: An agricultural implement arrangement includes a container of seed having an ID tag associated therewith; an implement for applying a product to a geographic area; an electrical reader configured for reading the ID tag and providing an output signal; and an electrical processing circuit coupled with the reader and the implement. The ID tag has data representing at least one attribute associated with the seed. The electrical processing circuit receives the output signal and controls the implement, dependent upon the output signal.

Abstract: A method of operating an agricultural implement in a geographic area using data representing at least one attribute associated with seed, includes the steps of: transferring data including at least one attribute associated with seed to a remote computer which is located remote from the geographic area; editing the data at the remote computer; uploading the analyzed data to an electrical processing circuit associated with the implement; and operating the implement under control of the electrical processing circuit within the geographic area, using the uploaded data.
