At first total pump was designed by SolidWorks 2012 software. Then the total relationship of rotor, roller, internal cam ring, pole shoe and plunger in injector pump in MF285 tractor and their performance w...

Researchers around the world have focused on autonomous agriculture with systems encompassing greenhouse, orchard, field, and other applications. Research has shown the potential and ability of the technology to allow a vehicle or selection of vehicles to follow a specified task. In this study, one aspect of the problem, that of operating a tractor−cart combination in conjunction with a small−g...

Agricultural vehicle navigation includes both on-road and on-field operations. The objective for on-road navigation is to guide the vehicle traveling on paved or prepared road according to a scheduled path plan, and for on-field guidance is to guide the vehicle following crop rows without overrun on crops. In this paper, the authors have presented an on-field navigation system with redundant se...
