Abstract: A combination is made up of a tractor and a seeder suitable for direct drilling mounted on a three-point hitch of the tractor. The seeder has a crossbeam that is connected to the three-point hitch and on which a plurality of sowing units are arranged laterally in succession. The sowing units, each equipped with at least one furrow opener, are respectively prestressed downward in relation to the crossbeam by an actuator, and the three-point hitch can be self-locked in relation to a chassis of the tractor. During the sowing operation, the pressing forces for the furrow openers are therefore introduced via the sowing units, the actuator, the crossbeam and the three-point hitch into the chassis of the tractor.

Abstract: An arrangement for monitoring and or controlling the driving state of a self-propelled agricultural working machine comprising a variable-position interface for attaching an implement that is provided with a control device. Vehicle-specific data, a position signal regarding the position of the interface, and implement data regarding physical properties of an implement mounted on the interface can be supplied to the control device. The control device is operated to evaluate at least one the driving state of the working machine, taking into consideration the above-mentioned signals and data to control the working machine.

Abstract: A method for storing information corresponding to a baled crop during a baling process includes providing a harvesting machine including a control unit, a sensor, and a bale tag reader. The method also includes forming the baled crop with a bale tag by the harvesting machine, identifying the baled crop by the control unit with a bale identifier, and sensing a characteristic of the baled crop by the sensor. The method further includes detecting a bale tag identifier associated with the bale tag by the bale tag reader, communicating the characteristic and bale tag identifier to the control unit, corresponding the characteristic, bale tag identifier and bale identifier of the baled crop to one another, and storing the characteristic, bale tag identifier and bale identifier in an electronic storage unit that is in electrical communication with the control unit.

Abstract: An arrangement for monitoring functions of a work machine comprises an electronically readable identification means that is assigned to identifier associated with an operator of the work machine; a user interface; a processor; and at least one control device, wherein the at least one control device is configured to control operations of the work machine or an implement coupled to the work machine in response to receipt of an output signal generated by the processor. The processor is configured to execute a set of instructions stored on a memory such that when executed the processor is programmed to: read out the electronically readable identifier and obtain, via the user interface, an input selection of a desired device function assigned in an authorization database to the electronically readable identifier and to activate a desired function for a limited time.

Abstract: In accordance with an example embodiment, an arrangement for controlling a lighting device of a working vehicle where the lighting device is directed toward an adjustable operating element of the working vehicle. A control device is connected to the lighting device. The control device is operated to switch the lighting device on according to a detected adjustment of the operating element.

Abstract: An agricultural machine is equipped with a frame, on which a discharging device for granular material and a supply container for granular material are fastened, which can be supplied to the discharging device. The supply container can be removed and thus connected with the frame and the discharging device without the use of tools.
