Patent number 12026940 is assigned to Deere & Company (Moline, Ill inois, United States).The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied bythe inventors: “Operators of a farming vehicle conventionally m onitor the implements such as plows orsprayers pulled by farming vehicle by per iodically checking the implement by looking at the implementfrom the cabin of t he farming vehicle. An implement naturally wears over time as operations are performed, and operators conventionally monitor the implement for wear during opera tion. An implementmay be worn out to a point where a component of the implement falls from the implement while thevehicle operates. In addition to monitoring the wear of the implement, the operator of a conventionallyoperated farming veh icle may monitor the state of the implement. Some implements are not designed tobe in a certain state in combination with operating the farming vehicle in a pa rticular way. For example,a tractor operator may check if the shanks of a plow are raised before putting the tractor in reverse. Theshanks can be attached to the plow such that their rotational motion is limited to a fixed range. If the shanks are not raised when the vehicle travels in reverse, they may break or disl odge from the vehicle.
