    Abstract: A mobile machine such as a tractor has an engine and hydraulic supply system including a pump supply with a pump (MP) driven by the engine to provide a pressurized fluid at a pump supply pressure PSP. The hydraulic supply system has an electronic load sensing system (E-LS) to regulate the pump supply pressure. The E-LS is arranged to increase a stand-by pressure differential of the pump supply once the engine is determined to be running following start-up. This enables the hydraulic supply system to be configured with a reduced hydro-mechanically defined stand-by pressure differential so that it places a reduced load on the engine when it is started. The E-LS may be arranged to inhibit LS control of the pump supply when the engine is started, with LS functionality only commenced once the engine is running. Reduced load on the engine during start-up can improve cold starting.

    Abstract: An agricultural harvester includes a crop processor for reducing crop material to processed crop, an unload conveyor for transferring a stream of processed crop out of the harvester, and a camera for capturing images of an area proximate the harvester and generating image data from the captured images. One or more computing devices are configured for receiving the image data from the camera, identifying, from the image data, a visual marker corresponding to a receiving vehicle, and determining, from the visual marker, a location of the receiving vehicle relative to the agricultural harvester. An electronic device presents, on a graphical user interface of the device, a graphical representation of the relative locations of the unload conveyor and at least a portion of the receiving vehicle, the graphical representation based on the location of the receiving vehicle relative to the agricultural harvester determined by the one or more computing devices.

    Abstract: A cleaning mechanism of a combine harvester, for cleaning threshed and separated crop material, including a grain pan for receiving threshed and separated crop material and transporting the crop material rearwardly; a chaffer installed proximate the grain pan for receiving material from the grain pan where the chaffer includes a plurality of longitudinal channels with non-planar surfaces giving each channel a curved or trapezoidal cross section and at least two of the chaffer channels have an asymmetric non-planar surface with a greater part of the surface area facing the side portions of the chaffer; and a fan that causes an air flow through the chaffer to lift up discardable parts from the crop material and transport the discardable parts out of the combine harvester.

    Abstract: A grain cleaning system for a combine harvester having a transmitter adapted to transmit a base signal at a known frequency and one or more spaced receivers for detecting signals of a different frequency as reflected from airborne grain and other materials within the duct of the grain cleaning system. An Electronic Control Unit modulates the base signal and the reflected signals to obtain Doppler signals or frequencies from which an average particle velocity is determined. The particle velocity is used as an input parameter for the generation of control signals for the adjustment of various working units of the combine harvester including, by way of example, the fan and sieves.
