  • Patent number: 11912205
    Abstract: A position detector is supported to be movable between a first position and a second position lower than the first position. A mounting stay is below the position detector when the position detector is in the first position, and, when the position detector is rotated together with the mounting stay from a state in which the position detector is in the first position, the position detector is moved to the second position and the mounting stay is positioned above the position detector in the second position and covers over the position detector so as to restrain the automatic steering control.

  • Patent number: 11809188
    Abstract: A traveling work machine includes a position detector capable of obtaining position information of a machine body based on a positioning signal from a navigation satellite, an end determiner capable of determining the end of each of a plurality of instances of work travel, a start position calculator capable of calculating start positions Ls and Ls2, and a display capable of displaying information pertaining to the turning travel. When the end determiner determines the end of the work travel, the start position calculator calculates, based on the position information, the start position Ls2 on one of the left and right with respect to the travel direction of the machine body during the work travel, and the display displays guidance information guiding the turning travel to the start position Ls2.

  • Publication number: 20220030758
    Abstract: An agricultural field work vehicle includes a move-off recorder to record, as move-off information, a move-off position or a move-off travel path, the move-off information being information related to the vehicle body having moved off a target travel path while performing agricultural field work during autonomous travel, the move-off position being a position at which the vehicle body moved off the target travel path, the move-off travel path being the target travel path off which the vehicle body moved, and a work return manager to (i) select a resumption travel path based on the move-off information, the resumption travel path being a travel path on which the agricultural field work vehicle, after the vehicle body moved off the target travel path, resumes performing agricultural field work, and (ii) manage a return of the 1vehicle body to the resumption travel path or the move-off position.
