US 12,389,818 B2 · Agricultural vehicle with implement-specific operational profiles

Abstract

An agricultural vehicle includes a driveline, an interface, and a control system. The driveline includes an engine, a transmission, and a power take off (PTO). The interface is configured to removably couple an implement with the agricultural vehicle. The implement configured to perform an agricultural function. The control system includes processing circuitry configured to obtain an indication of a type of the implement that is removably coupled with the agricultural vehicle. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine a profile for at least the transmission based on the type of the implement that is removably coupled with the agricultural vehicle. The profile defines an operating parameter for at least the transmission such that the transmission operates in a specific manner for the type of the implement. The processing circuitry is also configured to operate at least the transmission according to the operating parameter of the profile.
