Crumbler basket down pressure adjustment system

摘要

An agricultural tillage implement includes a main frame including a hitch extending in a travel direction, at least one secondary frame, a plurality of rolling basket assemblies and a pressure control system. The secondary frame is coupled with the frame. The plurality of rolling basket assemblies include first and second rolling basket assemblies. Both first and second rolling basket assemblies are coupled to the at least one secondary frame. The first rolling basket assembly has an effective length, and the second rolling basket assembly has a different effective length. The pressure control system is configured to supply different selected pressures to the first and second rolling basket assembly to substantially equalize a down pressure per unit of effective length of the rolling basket assemblies.

1. An agricultural tillage implement, comprising:
a frame section including a pull hitch extending in a travel direction; at least one secondary frame coupled with said frame; a plurality of rolling basket assemblies including a first rolling basket assembly and a second rolling basket assembly, both said first rolling basket assembly and said second rolling basket assembly being coupled to said at least one secondary frame, said first rolling basket assembly having a first effective length, said second rolling basket assembly having a second effective length, said first effective length and said second effective length being different; at least one actuator associated with said first rolling basket assembly and at least one actuator associated with said second rolling basket assembly; and a pressure control system coupled to said plurality of rolling basket assemblies, said pressure control system being configured to:
determine a first effective actuator surface area of the at least one actuator associated with said first rolling basket assembly and a second effective actuator surface area of the at least one actuator associated with said second rolling basket assembly; andadjusting a down pressure associated with said first rolling basket assembly and a down pressure associated with said second rolling basket assembly to substantially equalize the down pressure associated with said first rolling basket assembly with the down pressure associated with said second rolling basket assembly per unit of effective length of the first and second rolling basket assemblies.
