Publication number: 20240049614Abstract: An agricultural system for monitoring operating conditions associated with disks of an agricultural implement may include a support mount supported relative to a frame member, with the support mount having a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion at least partially spaced apart from each other. Further, the system may include a support member supported relative to the frame member by the support mount, with the support member being positioned between the first and second mounting portions. Moreover, the system may include a shaft supported relative to the frame member by the support member and a ground engaging disk supported on the shaft. Additionally, the system may include a load sensor supported by one of the first mounting portion or the second mounting portion, with the load sensor being configured to generate data indicative of a load on the support member.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2022Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Scott Glovier, Sven N.

Patent number: 10743462Abstract: A flow splitter for distributing agricultural products includes a splitter body extending between upstream and downstream ends and defining an inlet port and two or more outlet ports. The splitter body includes an inner flow surface defining an interior flow volume and two or more internal grooves extending radially outwardly from the inner flow surface. A divider of the flow splitter extends within the splitter body along a central axis and includes two or more divider walls extending radially outwardly from the central axis to a distal end positioned adjacent to the inner flow surface. The divider divides at least a portion of the interior flow volume into a plurality of internal flow chambers, each being aligned with a respective outlet port. A rib extends radially outwardly from the distal end of each respective divider wall such that each rib is received within a respective internal groove.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2019Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Sven N. Setterdahl, Joseph W. Knott

Patent number: 9521798Abstract: An agricultural tillage implement includes a main frame including a hitch extending in a travel direction, at least one secondary frame, a plurality of rolling basket assemblies and a pressure control system. The secondary frame is coupled with the frame. The plurality of rolling basket assemblies include first and second rolling basket assemblies. Both first and second rolling basket assemblies are coupled to the at least one secondary frame. The first rolling basket assembly has an effective length, and the second rolling basket assembly has a different effective length. The pressure control system is configured to supply different selected pressures to the first and second rolling basket assembly to substantially equalize a down pressure per unit of effective length of the rolling basket assemblies.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2014Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: CNH Industrial America LLCInventors: Michael G. Kovach, Sven N. Setterdahl, Dean A. Knobloch, Timothy R. Blunier
