  • Publication number: 20240206364
    Abstract: An agricultural implement includes a main frame, a first frame member assembly coupled to the main frame, and a first plurality of discs coupled to the first frame member assembly. The agricultural implement also includes a first linkage assembly coupled to the first frame member assembly. The agricultural implement further includes a first lateral adjustment mechanism coupled to the first frame member assembly and configured to actuate the first linkage assembly to change a first lateral position of the first plurality of discs relative to at least one other plurality of discs coupled to the main frame or relative to a center line of the main frame, the center line being parallel to a direction of travel of the agricultural implement.

  • Publication number: 20240196783
    Abstract: A position monitoring system for an agricultural system includes a light emitter configured to output a light, a sensor array having a plurality of sensors configured to receive the light output by the light emitter, and a control system configured to determine at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors of the sensor array that receives the light output by the light emitter to indicate a current parameter associated with a current orientation of an agricultural implement of the agricultural system relative to a work vehicle of the agricultural system, determine a target parameter associated with a desirable orientation of the agricultural implement relative to the work vehicle based on an operation of the agricultural system, and output a control signal in response to determining that the current parameter indicated by the at least one sensor that receives the light does not match the target parameter.

  • Publication number: 20240188473
    Abstract: An agricultural implement includes a main frame. The agricultural implement also includes at least one disc gang including a plurality of disc blades, wherein the at least one disc gang is coupled to the main frame. The agricultural implement further includes a hitch system coupled to the main frame, wherein the hitch system is configured to couple the agricultural implement to a work vehicle and to transfer weight between the work vehicle and the agricultural implement to adjust a downward force applied on each disc blade of the plurality of disc blades in engaging soil.

  • Publication number: 20240065130
    Abstract: A disc blade angle adjustment system for a tillage implement includes a first actuator having a cylinder, a piston disposed within the cylinder, and a single rod extending from the piston. The first actuator is configured to couple to a frame of the tillage implement and to a first disc blade support. The disc blade angle adjustment system also includes a second actuator having a cylinder, a piston disposed within the cylinder, and a single rod extending from the piston. The second actuator is configured to couple to the frame of the tillage implement and to a second disc blade support. In addition, the disc blade angle adjustment system includes a conduit extending between a cap end of the first actuator and a cap end of the second actuator or between a rod end of the first actuator and a rod end of the second actuator.

  • Publication number: 20240065126
    Abstract: A disc blade angle adjustment assembly for a tillage implement includes a base structure configured to couple to a frame of the tillage implement. The disc blade angle adjustment assembly also includes a vertical guide plate coupled to the base structure, in which the vertical guide plate has an elongated opening. Furthermore, the disc blade angle adjustment assembly includes a vertical support configured to couple to a disc blade support of the tillage implement. The disc blade support is configured to pivotally couple to the frame at a pivot point. The disc blade angle adjustment assembly also includes multiple rollers rotatably coupled to the vertical support and disposed within the elongated opening of the vertical guide plate. The rollers are configured to block rotation of the disc blade support about a longitudinal axis of the disc blade support via engagement with the vertical guide plate.
