WORKING MACHINE CONTROL SYSTEM WITH DETECTOR FOR BURIED OBJECTS

摘要

An automatic object responsive control system (10) for a work implement (24) has a ground penetrating device (36) mounted for sensing subsurface objects, an object detecting device (50) for determining the undesirability of the object, and an implement control system (62) for automatically elevationally raising the implement (24) in response to an undesirable object (56) being located elevationally between the implement (24) and the ground penetrating device (36). The automatic object responsive control system (10) is particularly suited for use on a geographic surface altering machine (12).
