There are several agricultural vehicles driven by a driver and suitable for carrying out various agricultural operations. In order to carry out agricultural operations (e.g. spraying), tractors requires a trailer and a specific system, such as a spraying one. This configuration makes the vehicle very cluttered and very heavy, making the vehicle difficult to operate on the rows.
The invention regards a lifting system for a processing device for a farm vehicle for precision agriculture in which the processing device is arranged in the area of a front or rear portion of the vehicle and is configured to carry out different farming operations. The processing device is removable to carry out other farming operations (e.g. pruning, etc.). The lifting system of the devices is operated by an electric winch and is equipped with a further electric motor that is characterized by a power able to drive the mechanical parts in rotation.
Applications:
- Agriculture
Advantages:
- Reduced size and weight
- Removable processing devices
