TLDR
In this article, an agricultural implement, for working soil across which the agricultural implement travels or is towed, comprises a frame (10), a first depth maintaining unit (12a, 12b), comprising a first hydraulic actuator (13a) for adjusting the height of the first depth-maintaining unit relative to the frame, a second depth-maintenance unit (14, 15a), and at least one soil working tool (16), which is adapted to be connected to means (23) for supplying hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic system.Abstract:
An agricultural implement, for working soil across which the agricultural implement travels or is towed, comprises a frame (10), a first depth maintaining unit (12a, 12b), comprising a first hydraulic actuator (13a) for adjusting the height of the first depth maintaining unit relative to the frame, a second depth maintaining unit (14), comprising a second hydraulic actuator (15a) for adjusting the height of the second depth maintaining unit relative to the frame, at least one soil working tool (16), and a hydraulic system (17) comprising the hydraulic actuators (13a, 15a), which is adapted to be connected to means (23) for supplying hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic system. A first side of the first hydraulic actuator (13a) communicates with a first side of the second hydraulic actuator (15a) and measuring means (18, 19) are arranged to provide a measured value corresponding to a first amount of hydraulic fluid occurring on said first sides.read more

Depth control for a seed planting system
TL;DR: In this article, a planting system including a plurality of seeding row assemblies, each having components maintained at a controlled elevation, is described. But, it is not shown how to adjust the elevation of the tillage unit relative to the seeding unit to a desired set point.
Patent
Agricultural tillage implement wheel control
TL;DR: In this article, an agricultural tillage implement includes a main section including a hitch extending in a travel direction, a plurality of foldable wing sections coupled with the main section, a ground engaging tilling elements, a wheel assembly and a control system.
Patent
Automated leveling and depth control system of a work machine and method thereof
TL;DR: In this paper, a transversely extending frame forming a first, a second, and a third frame section is coupled to sensors to detect a height of the respective frame section relative to an underlying surface, a control unit is disposed in electrical communication with the sensors and operably controls the actuators to adjust the height of each frame section.
Patent
Remote leveling of tillage implements using three way valves
TL;DR: In this article, an agricultural implement has been designed for supporting a plurality of disk blades extending generally laterally relative to a forward travel direction, with carrier frames pivotally connected to wheel assemblies for controlling the height of the carrier frames relative to the ground.
Patent
Agricultural implement and method of controlling an agricultural implement
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for adjusting an agricultural implement's orientation is described, which is based on a series of orientation values corresponding to the orientation of the agricultural implement in at least one vertical plane.

Patent
Automatic depth control system and method
TL;DR: In this article, an automatic depth control system is described, which includes a console and remote controller mounted in the tractor cab, power beyond valving, and depth sensors, either ground contact or non-ground contact, mounted on the frame of the implement.
Patent
Self leveling towed implement
TL;DR: In this article, an implement has a tongue used to tow the implement that can be raised or lowered with respect to the rest of the implement by a hydraulic cylinder, and the raising and lowering ports of the cylinder are connected to two hydraulic accumulators to permit the tongue to flex up or down while the implement is towed through the field.

TL;DR: In this article, a fluid circuit is connected to a fluid actuator for controlling forces exerted between a hitch member and the implement main frame and it is operable in a working mode to exert a resilient biasing force on the hitch member thus enabling pivotal floating motion of the hitch members while simultaneously countering force moments applied to the main frame by the ground-working tool.
