Embodiment Construction

[0029]While the present invention may be embodied in many different forms, a number of illustrative embodiments are described herein with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as providing examples and not intended to limit the invention to the preferred embodiments described and / or illustrated herein.

[0030]FIGS. 1-4 illustrate an environment in which a handheld control device or controller 100 interacts with mobile farm implements, such as a grain cart 300 or a tractor 200 towing the grain cart, according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to one aspect of the invention, the system provides a handheld control device that may automate at least part of an unloading of agricultural material from a mobile farm implement. The automation may include issuing commands to the mobile farm implement in a desired order and may include automatically monitoring unloading conditions. According to another aspect of the invention, the system provides a ...

Abstract

A method for tracking the accumulated load and any load events that exceed a maximum threshold in a mobile farm implement. The mobile farm implement includes a plurality of load sensors which provide a weight of the material in a bin to an indicator, and a memory that stores the accumulated load and the highest load events.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 799,957, filed on Mar. 15, 2013, and U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 821,542, filed on May 9, 2013, the entire disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates generally to systems and methods for measuring loads on mobile farm implements, and, more particularly, to a system and method for tracking an accumulative load and the highest load events in a mobile farm implement.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Mobile farm implements, such as grain carts and seed tenders, may include a weigh system that generally provides an overall weight to an indicator. Mobile farm implements may have maximum weight capacities. Exceeding the maximum weight may increase the risk of mechanical failure in the mobile farm implement or other dangerous conditi...
