    摘要: System (100) and corresponding method for controlling harvesting implement position of an agricultural harvester (10) includes a harvesting implement (34) configured to be coupled to the harvester to permit adjustment of a current position of the implement relative to a field surface; a sensor (116) configured to capture data indicative of the current position of the implement relative to the field surface; a display device (126), and a controller (120) communicatively coupled to the sensor and the display device. The controller is configured to monitor the current position of the implement based on the data captured by the sensor. The controller is further configured to initiate display of a graphical user interface on the display device, with the graphical user interface displaying a first interface element (132) associated with the current position of the implement relative to a second interface element (134) associated with a reference position of the implement.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a structure for easily and reliably connecting and disconnecting first and second ends of an agricultural harvester draper belt (220). A u-shaped connecting bar (238) enables connection of adjacent flanges (224, 228) of the first and second ends (222, 226) of the draper belt. A plurality of connecting bar pairs provide connection of adjacent flanges of the first and second ends of the draper belt when the flanges are arranged in an angled, stepped or staggered pattern. Additionally, flat belt splices (234, 236) may be arranged at the leading edges (230a, 230b) and the trailing edge (232a, 232b) of the draper belt free ends. This also improves sealing at the edges of the draper belt to which conventional bulky connecting bars do not extend to.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for controlling the height of a header for use with an agricultural harvester. The header height is controlled by detecting a first height value of the header with respect to ground, detecting a second height value of the header with respect to ground, selecting a representative height value (e.g., the smallest height value) from the first and the second height values, and controlling the position of the header with respect to the agricultural harvester responsive the selected representative height value.

    摘要: A system (500, 600) and method for reversing a rotational direction of an auger (131) of a header (12). The system includes a fluid line (506, 512) for delivering fluid to a motor (508, 510) that drives the auger (131). A directional flow control valve (522) is connected to the fluid line (506, 512) and is movable between a first state in which the valve (522) is configured to deliver the fluid to the motor (508, 510) in a first fluid direction to cause the motor (508, 510) to move the auger (131) in a first rotational direction, and a second state in which the valve (522) is configured to deliver the fluid to the motor (508, 510) in a second fluid direction that is different from the first fluid direction to cause the motor (508, 510) to move the auger (131) in a second rotational direction that is opposite to the first rotational direction.

    摘要: A header (110) for an agricultural vehicle (100) including a frame (112) having lateral ends and an automatic lighting system (200) having at least one light (202) connected to the frame (112) and at least one sensor (204) connected to the frame (112) and configured for sensing a level of light (202) and providing a signal indicative of the level of light. The header (110) also includes an electronic control unit (210) operably connected to the at least one light (202) and the at least one sensor (204). The electronic control unit (210) being configured for automatically operating the at least one light (202) upon receiving the signal of the at least one sensor (204).

    摘要: An illumination system for a harvesting implement including two or more lighting devices, each lighting device coupled to the harvesting implement and configured to illuminate an area of crop engagement, a path of the harvesting implement, or both. The illumination system additionally includes a controller coupled to the harvesting implement and communicatively coupled to the lighting devices. The controller is configured to control an operation of the illumination system to provide a first pre-set illumination pattern based on a first operating state of the harvesting implement. The controller is further configured to receive an input indicative of a change in the operating state of the harvesting implement. Further, the controller is configured to, in response to receipt of the input, control the operation of the illumination array to provide a second pre-set illumination pattern based on the change in the operating state.

    摘要: A control system and method for operating an articulating header of a combine harvester in a failsafe mode. The method includes monitoring the articulating header, alerting a user when a fault condition is detected in the articulating header, and converting the articulating header to a non-articulating header in response to the fault condition so that the combine harvester may be operated in a failsafe mode.

    摘要: A transport system (100) for a harvesting header (120) including at least one dolly wheel (134) being laterally shifted towards the main header frame (122) with an acute angle relative to an elongate tongue (136) where the acute angle allows the centerline (128) of the harvesting header (120) to travel essentially colinear with the centerline (112) of the towing vehicle (110). The transport system (100) may be further provided with gauge wheels being repositionable for use as a trailing wheel assembly (126) and/or the at least one dolly wheel (134).

    摘要: A combine having a feeder housing for receiving harvested crop, a separating system for threshing the harvested crop to separate grain from residue, a grain tank for storing the separated grain, a grain tank level sensor for detecting a level of grain in the grain tank, and a controller that controls the combine. The controller is configured to receive the level of grain from the grain tank level sensors, determine a volume of a grain base from the level of the grain, determine a volume of a grain heap above the grain base, determine a total volume by combining the volume of the grain base with the volume of the grain heap.
