  • Patent number: 7756623
    Abstract: An agricultural vehicle with a plurality of controlled implements, is provided with a programmable computer having input devices for receiving data and instructions from the vehicle operator and connected to send control signals to the implements, and a display screen connected to the computer to display information regarding the operation of the vehicle and the implements. The computer is programmed to enable the operator to record the prevailing values of the settings of the different implements in a memory.

  • Patent number: 7723628
    Abstract: A remotely configurable control lever is disclosed for operating an electrical switch on the control panel of an agricultural vehicle. A cam plate 22 rotatable with the control lever has a cam track 23 defining at least one notch, which is selectively engaged by a resiliently biased detent 24 to latch the control lever in a predetermined position. A solenoid 32 is provided for retracting the detent to allow the control lever 10 to return to a neutral position. A second cam track 123 is provided which is rotatable with the control lever 10 and defines at least one stop cooperating with a further retractable detent 124 to limit the range of angular displacement of the control lever 10.
