Abstract: A current supply system of a team vehicle includes a towing vehicle operable in a cable-interconnected manner and an agricultural rear-mounted device coupled to the towing vehicle. The agricultural rear-mounted device has working equipment for performing a ground processing function. A base mast is allocated to the towing vehicle for producing a cable connection to a current supply interface of a first team vehicle that is travelling ahead, and an additional mast includes a further current supply interface allocated to the agricultural rear-mounted device for producing a further cable connection to a second team vehicle that is following. The additional mast is downstream of the working equipment of the agricultural rear-mounted device when viewed in a forward direction of travel of the team vehicle.

Abstract: An agricultural vehicle-trailer combination includes a traction module including a drive element for engaging in a ground, a working appliance coupled to the traction module by a coupling apparatus, and a folding axle supporting the working appliance relative to the ground at least during a transport mode. A slewing mechanism of the coupling apparatus provides a degree of freedom of rotation between the traction module and the working appliance along a longitudinal axis of the working appliance. A pivot joint provides a degree of freedom of pivoting between the traction module and the working appliance along a vertical axis of the traction module. The pivot joint is adjustable relative to its pivot angle by a steering actuator for influencing the direction of travel of the vehicle-trailer combination.

The winding drum is rotatable by an electrical drive for winding and unwinding the cable guide wire. The spring accumulator is operably exerting a resilient tensile force on a wire portion unreeled from the winding drum.

Abstract: A cable drum for supplying power to an electrically powered utility vehicle, with an axially running winding body which can be set in rotation about a rotational axis in order to wind up and unwind an electrical cable, wherein on an inside, the winding body carries a plurality of fans which are configured to generate a cooling air stream directed radially outward with respect to a cylindrical drum wall.

Abstract: A method for assisting a coupling procedure at an agricultural implement interface includes determining via a control unit whether a set-down procedure associated with unhitching the implement is being executed, determining cartographically via the control unit in communication with a position detection unit a set-down location of the implement and a driving trajectory travelled by the agricultural tractor from the set-down location along a defined route, storing via the control unit the set-down location and the driving trajectory as an associated dataset in a memory unit together with type information about the implement provided by an information unit, retrieving via the control unit the associated dataset to re-hitch the implement, and guiding via the control unit the agricultural tractor back from a defined start position along the driving trajectory to the set-down location by issuing associated control commands.

Abstract: A method for electrification of a field chopper comprising the steps of: providing a cable drum and a winding drive on the field chopper, the cable drum and winding drive allowing at least one of the winding and unwinding of an energy supply line about the cable drum; providing a cable arm on the field chopper, the cable arm configured to adjust in at least one of an orientation and extension length to provide guided winding or unwinding of the energy supply line along a field surface; providing a pivotable ejection chute on the field chopper, the ejection chute extending beyond the cable arm and configured to transfer a chopped harvested material onto a transport vehicle driving alongside the field chopper; unwinding the energy supply line while along a first processing strip from the cable drum using the winding drive and cable arm; and winding the energy supply while along a second processing strip about the cable drum using the winding drive and the cable.

Abstract: A plug arrangement for producing a detachable multi-purpose connection, the arrangement comprising: a housing body and a contact element that is connected to the housing body, wherein the contact element is oriented in a rotationally symmetrical manner in relation to a predetermined plugging direction and comprises at least one annular contact zone arranged along the predetermined plugging direction; and at least one code segment disposed on the contact element, said code segment forming an angular code that varies with a rotational position of the contact element.
