A method and apparatus for automating some of the tasks that heretofore required operator action at headland turns or similar events are provided. The present invention automates operation of lift assist wheels and / or gull wings, such as those found on a stack-fold implement, based on the position of the tractor hitch to which the implement is coupled. An operator may control the position of the implement, such as at a headland turn, by raising and lowering the tractor hitch using a remote control. The invention enables the planter to compare the tractor hitch position relative to an implement position and control operation of the implement accordingly without additional user inputs.

The invention discloses a method and device for generating an all-region-covering optimal working path for a farmland plot. The method comprises the following steps of: forming headland turning modes such as a semicircular turning mode, a pear-shaped turning mode, a fish-tail-shaped turning mode and the like by considering the working requirements of tractor units of different types and scales in consistence with the practical requirement of agricultural machinery operating management; putting forward a plurality of working path optimization standards of the tractor units to realize optimization targets such as minimum turning, lowest turning working consumption, a shortest working path, an optimal effective working path ratio and the like; establishing an optimal working direction search method and a working path generating algorithm of the tractor units on the basis of priori information such as a working plot vector, a working unit parameter, a path optimization target and the like to realize all-region-covering of the farmland plot; and integrating embedded hardware devices of functional modules such as a storage module, an input module, an output module, auxiliary equipment and the like to realize planning, calculating, displaying and introducing of the all-region-covering optimal working path for the farmland plot and recording, storing and displaying the practical working path of each tractor unit.

A tractor head land management control system and a control method thereof are disclosed. The control system comprises a record button, a playback button, an A sequence, a B sequence, a seat switch, a head land management indicating lamp, a main sequence processing unit, a CAN bus, a subsequence processing unit and a controller. The main sequence processing unit and the subsequence processing unit are connected and are integrated in the controller. The two units are connected through the CAN bus. The record button, the playback button, the A sequence, the B sequence, the seat switch and the head land management indicating lamp are connected to the controller respectively. The head land management system is designed compactly and operation is convenient. Record and playback of individual functions can be performed and record and playback of a plurality of functions can be performed too. During a playback process, hand-operated interaction operation can be performed. The control method is convenient to operate. Work efficiency and work quality of a tractor are effectively increased, labor intensity of a driver is mitigated and the tractor is guaranteed to possess a good usage state under various kinds of work conditions.
