Abstract[English]
A system includes a tractor comprising a chassis and a lifting hitch coupled to the chassis. The lifting hitch includes an upper link and lower links. An agricultural implement is coupled to the lifting hitch and comprises a frame, a toolbar coupled to the frame, the toolbar carrying a plurality of row units, and least one toolbar lifting actuator configured to lift or lower the at least one toolbar. The system further includes a control system configured to determine a percentage of travel of the lifting hitch, and based on the percentage of travel of the lifting hitch, move the at least one wing toolbar lifting actuator by a proportional percentage of travel to lift or lower the at least one wing toolbar. Related agricultural implements and methods are also disclosed.[French]
L'invention concerne un système comprenant un tracteur comprenant un châssis et un attelage de levage accouplé au châssis. L'attelage de levage comprend une liaison supérieure et des liaisons inférieures. Un outil agricole est accouplé à l'attelage de levage et comprend un cadre, une barre d'outils accouplée au cadre, la barre d'outils supportant une pluralité de rayonneurs, et au moins un actionneur de levage de barre d'outils conçu pour soulever ou abaisser ladite barre d'outils. Le système comprend en outre un système de commande conçu pour déterminer un pourcentage de déplacement de l'attelage de levage, et sur la base du pourcentage de déplacement de l'attelage de levage, déplacer ledit actionneur de levage de barre d'outils latéral d'un pourcentage proportionnel de déplacement pour soulever ou abaisser ladite barre d'outils latérale. Des outils agricoles et des procédés associés sont également divulgués.
