Abstract
A wheel adjustment system for an agricultural implement includes a controller having a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to receive a first signal indicative of a ground speed of the agricultural implement, receive a second signal indicative of a desired position of a wheel of the agricultural implement, receive a third signal indicative of a current position of the wheel of the agricultural implement, and output a control signal to adjust a position of the wheel of the agricultural implement based on the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal, wherein a rate of adjustment of the position of the wheel varies based on the first signal.
Claims20
A wheel adjustment system for an agricultural implement, comprising:
- a controller having a processor and a memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive a first signal indicative of a ground speed of the agricultural implement;
- receive a second signal indicative of a desired position of a wheel of the agricultural implement;
- receive a third signal indicative of a current position of the wheel of the agricultural implement;
- and
- output a control signal to adjust a position of the wheel of the agricultural implement based on the first, second, and third signals, wherein a rate of adjustment of the position of the wheel varies based on the first signal.
A wheel adjustment system for an agricultural implement, comprising:
- a controller having a processor and a memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
- receive a first signal indicative of a ground speed of the agricultural implement;
- receive a second signal indicative of a desired position of a wheel of the agricultural implement;
- receive a third signal indicative of a current position of the wheel of the agricultural implement;
- receive a fourth signal indicative of a weight of the agricultural implement;
- and
- output a control signal to adjust a position of the wheel of the agricultural implement based on the first, second, third, and fourth signals.
A method of operating a wheel adjustment system for an agricultural implement, comprising using a controller having a processor and a memory to:
- receive a first signal indicative of a ground speed of the agricultural implement;
- receive a second signal indicative of a desired position of a wheel of the agricultural implement;
- receive a third signal indicative of a current position of the wheel of the agricultural implement;
- receive a fourth signal indicative of a weight of the agricultural implement;
- and
- output a control signal to adjust a position of the wheel of the agricultural implement based on the first, second, third, and fourth signals.
