A header support for supporting a header during road transport of an agricultural harvester. The header support has a header mounted to it in order to reduce a front axle load of the agricultural harvester. During harvesting, a support wheel of the header support is folded upwardly so it does not touch the ground during harvesting. The rotation axis of the support wheel extends in a substantially vertical plane during harvesting. This allows for a simple construction of the header support and reduces the vibration loads on the bearing of the support wheel during harvesting.

The invention relates to an agricultural implement having an auxiliary chassis, which implement is supported by the three-point hydraulics of a towing vehicle and has an additional support wheel, on which a spring force acts, to improve the steerability of the vehicle. A dead center mechanism resiliently lifts the support wheel when the implement is in the working position.

A method of real-time plant selection and removal from a plant field including capturing a first image of a first section of the plant field, segmenting the first image into regions indicative of individual plants within the first section, selecting the optimal plants for retention from the first image based on the first image and the previously thinned plant field sections, sending instructions to the plant removal mechanism for removal of the plants corresponding to the unselected regions of the first image from the second section before the machine passes the unselected regions, and repeating the aforementioned steps for a second section of the plant field adjacent the first section in the direction of machine travel.

An arrangement for triggering an actuator for adjusting an adjustable element of an agricultural working machine comprises: a specifying device for generating adjustment commands for the adjustable element; a control arrangement for the actuator; and a signal-shaping unit which, upon receipt of an adjustment command, initially applies a first signal dependent on the adjustment command to the control arrangement, and then applies a second signal, which is dependent on the adjustment command and delayed in time relative to the first signal, the second signal leading to a reduction or cancellation of a natural oscillation generated by the first signal in the system consisting of working machine and element.

A graphical user interface is disclosed for controlling a harvesting system, the harvesting system driving each of two shaking actuator frequencies individually, the user interface setting or displaying the frequencies of the two actuators as a single point on a display—a Frequency-Frequency User Interface (FFUI). The FFUI abstracts the tuning process of shaking with independent frequency control, allowing a user to choose the parameters for shaking the tree, e.g., frequencies, duration at a given frequency, etc., all while observing the effects of the shake taking place on the tree. The FFUI employs user gestures to map the shaker eccentric speeds and directions to the x and y coordinates of a graph, with the length of time a user gesture remains at any given coordinate pair determining the time that the first and second eccentric frequencies are driven according to the values of the given coordinate pair.
