An intelligent control system for the tractor implement has been constituted on the basis of the fuzzy control system reported in the Part 3, with the addition of an on-line learning adaptive mechanism, an experience learning adaptive mechanism, and an adaptive mechanism for tilling reaction force. The on-line learning adaptive mechanism adjust the fuzzy controller depending on the transient response; the adaptive mechanism for tilling reaction force is constituted for the purpose of improving the response of driving down the implement; and the experience learning adaptive mechanism can adapt to the variety of tilling environment quickly by utilizing the past experience. Through the experiments, the capability of adaptation to the variety of tilling environment of this system was confirmed by obtaining the response of each adaptive mechanism under the actual tilling condition. The special characteristics and the practical application of this system have also been investigated.
