Abstract: A system is provided for measuring soil properties. The system includes at least one sensor coupled to a row unit of an agricultural implement and a camera coupled to the row unit of the agricultural implement. The at least one sensor is configured to measure at least one soil property of soil worked by the row unit and/or of soil in a trench opened by an opening assembly of the row unit. And, the camera is arranged, on the row unit, to capture images of the soil worked by the row unit and/or the trench opened by the opening assembly of the row unit.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, implements, and methods for seed orientation during planting operations of agricultural plants of agricultural fields. In one embodiment, a system for seed orientation includes a seed disk capable of rotation in operation and having at least one singulator to adjust an orientation of seed to a desired seed orientation for placement within a furrow during planting. A vision system in proximity to the seed disk determines seed orientation data for seed on the seed disk.

Abstract: A carrier adjustment assembly for coupling to a frame member of an implement includes a laterally adjustable carrier configured to be coupled to an opener and a first outlet providing at least one nutrient. The assembly further includes a plurality of lateral spacers positioned adjacent to the carrier to laterally adjust the carrier and provide a plurality of adjustment positions. The carrier adjustment assembly facilitates lateral adjustment of the carrier by removal of at least one captively held lateral spacer that sets the lateral adjustment of the carrier, a lateral adjustment of the first outlet, and an adjustment of a lateral separation between a seed row provided by a second outlet and a nutrient row provided by the first outlet.

Abstract: A data processor determines whether a draft force on the implement is unbalanced based on an error between the observed implement angle and a target implement heading exceeding a threshold deviation. The data processor is adapted to generate a control signal to compensate for the imbalance in the draft force by adjusting the first lateral position via the first actuator, or by adjusting the second lateral position via the second actuator, the first actuator and the second actuator being positioned on opposite lateral sides of the implement.

Abstract: A fastening arrangement is provided for attaching a row unit to the tool bar of an agricultural implement. The fastening arrangement includes an elongated flat operatively connected to the tool bar. The elongated fiat has a leading surface lying in a first plane nonadjacent to a second plane which includes a trailing surface of the tool bar. A head bracket is adapted to receive a row unit. The head bracket has an aperture therethough and is supportable on the elongated flat. A clamping nut and bolt combination is configured to fasten the head bracket to the elongated flat. The clamping nut and bolt combination including a bolt adapted to pass through the aperture of the head bracket engage the clamping nut in a mating relationship.

Abstract: A sowing unit for a sowing machine that comprises a coupling device, a joint device provided between the coupling device and a support device with separate fastening points for functional components, and a sowing heart which meters a work product is disclosed. The support device has a proximal support arm, which couples to the joint device, and a distal support arm, which, on a side of the proximal support arm facing away from the joint device, extends away from said proximal support arm, and on which the sowing heart is arranged laterally in the area of an assembly section in such a way that a rear side of the sowing heart is arranged so as to be located opposite to the assembly section of the distal support arm and a front side of the sowing heart is arranged so as to be unobstructed by the support device.

Abstract: The selective positioning of row units along a planter tool bar is facilitated by introducing an elongated channel of generally C-shaped cross-sectional configuration intermediate the tool bar and a plurality of row unit head brackets. The channel is welded or otherwise fixed to the tool bar with the open edge of the “C” facing away from the tool bar and the head brackets are fixed to the channel by clamping nut and bolt assemblies. The bolts extend through the clamping brackets and engage corresponding clamping nuts. The clamping nuts are positioned within the “C” and may be slid along the inner edge of the channel to any preferred position. The bolts are then and tightened fixing the head bracket at the selected at location.
