Abstract: A vehicle seat operation feedback and control system with a seat and an electronic display screen and a processor configured to receive a signal from the seat corresponding to an inoperable, almost inoperable, or undesired condition and provide feedback on the display screen of the inoperable, almost inoperable, or undesired condition.

Abstract: A swivel restrictor assembly limits the maximum range an operator seat may be rotated to prevent interference of the seat with other components in a work vehicle cab. The swivel restrictor assembly includes two swivel stops to enable a first range of rotation when the seat is in a forward position of the cab and the second range of rotation when the seat is in a rear position of the cab.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, an instructor seat for the cab of an agricultural vehicle is convertible between a sitting condition when the seat is in a forward position and a non-sitting condition when the seat is in a rearward position. The instructor seat may include a seat base and seat back, a conveyor to move the seat between a forward position and a rearward position, and a latch mechanism to place the seat back in a generally vertical position when the seat is in a forward position and force the seat back into a generally horizontal non-sitting position when the seat is in a rearward position.

Abstract: A disc opener assembly connected to a tool bar linked to a vehicle for movement over the ground for opening a seed trench therein, the assembly comprising a main arm member attached to the tool bar, a disc mounted for rotation on the main arm, a gauge arm member having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end mounted for pivotal motion about a pivot axis to the main arm member, a gauge wheel mounted to the distal end of the gauge arm member, a first coupler mounted to the main arm member, a second coupler linked to the gauge arm member and juxtaposed proximate and for movement with respect to the first coupler along a coupling axis that is substantially parallel to the pivot axis, the second coupler configured to engage the first coupler when biased there against and a retainer for maintaining the first and second couplers engaged.

Abstract: A shank-mounted opener assembly connected to a seed distribution system is provided for both till and no-till operations. The opener assembly includes a spike member that is supported on the shank, a firming point, a seed sensor connected to the seed supply, a seed boot, a seed locking mechanism, and a multi media delivery tube assembly. The seed boot encloses the seed sensor and includes a pair of lateral side walls. The seed boot protects the seed sensor from moving soil and debris. The seed locking mechanism pushes the seed into the soil and forms a shallow layer of soil over the seed dispensed through the seed sensor. If desired, assistive media can be dispensed into the furrow at the same time as seeding. The assistive media are dispensed through the multi-media delivery tube assembly. The assistive media are not dispensed to the furrow until after the seed locking mechanism covers the seed with a shallow layer of soil.

Abstract: A seed planter distribution system for transporting seeds from a source into a plurality of seed metering bins, the system including a manifold duct and a plurality of seed flow diverting structures that extend from the manifold into each metering bin, whereby each metering bin is filled in accordance with the flow of air available thereto.
