Abstract:
1. A device for controlling the position of a mountable implement relative to an implement carrier vehicle comprising: at least one mountable implement movable by the implement carrier vehicle in a working direction following the ground at a predetermined height above the ground, a support element to be coupled to the mountable implement and to be attached to the implement carrier; a coupling device coupled with the mountable implement and the support element, said at least one mountable implement being freely vertically adjustable dependent upon the height path of the ground in its corresponding lifting position relative to the support element; an attachment device coupled to the support element and to be attached to the implement carrier vehicle; a lifting device for lifting and lowering the support element; a sensor determining the respective actual lifting position of the mountable implement relative to the support element; and a control device determining the deviation of the actual lifting position from a predetermined desired lifting position of the mountable implement relative to the support element said lifting device guiding the support element to a height position where the mountable implement takes up the desired lifting position.
