A data propagation system stores operator/machine/implement combinations, and corresponding settings data indicative of settings on the machine or implement for the corresponding combination. When a machine is connected to an implement, an identity of an operator is detected, along with an identity of the machine and an identity of the implement. The data propagation system determines whether settings data is available for that operator/machine/implement combination. If so, the settings data is obtained and the machine and implement are automatically controlled based upon the retrieved settings data.

An agricultural system includes a header comprising a gauge wheel and a frame, in which the gauge wheel and the frame are coupled to a hydraulic cylinder that is configured to adjust the gauge wheel relative to the frame. The agricultural system also includes a hydraulic circuit fluidly coupled to the hydraulic cylinder, in which the hydraulic circuit is configured to control a fluid flow into and out of the hydraulic cylinder to adjust the gauge wheel relative to the frame, and the hydraulic circuit includes an accumulator configured to enable an amount of fluid in the hydraulic cylinder to change during a harvesting operation of the agricultural system such that the gauge wheel may oscillate from a set position during the harvesting operation.

In one aspect, the present subject matter is directed to a header-based harvesting system for agricultural harvesters that includes a header configured to be removably coupled to a front end of a harvester. The header includes a header frame and a base cutter assembly coupled to the header frame in a floating arrangement. Additionally, the system includes an actuator coupled between the header frame and the base cutter assembly, and a hydraulic circuit in fluid communication with the actuator. The hydraulic circuit is configured to allow pressurized hydraulic fluid to be supplied to the actuator for regulating the floating movement of the base cutter assembly relative to the header frame.

A header for an agricultural vehicle, and an agricultural vehicle having the header. The header includes a center section extending in a lateral direction, a wing section movably connected at a lateral end of the center section and extending in the lateral direction from the center section, a ground support attached to and extending in a downward direction from the wing section, and a resilient support operatively connected to the wing section and the ground support. The resilient support is configured to generate an adjustable predetermined force to bias the ground support in the downward direction.

A control system for a harvester that harvests crop stalks each having a bottom portion and a top portion. The harvester includes a topper that cuts the stalks between the top and bottom portions and a base cutter that cuts the stalks near a ground surface. The control system includes a sensor that senses a first height between the top of the bottom portion and the ground surface, and senses a second height between the bottom of the bottom portion and the ground surface. The controller receives signals representing the sensed first and second heights from the sensor, determines average first and second heights for the stalks over a set time, sends a first signal to the topper to cause movement of the topper to the average first height, and sends a second signal to the base cutter to cause movement of the base cutter to the average second height.

A header for an agricultural work vehicle including a feeder house is provided, with the header operable to move crop material in a forward feed direction during a crop processing operation and in a reverse feed direction during a declogging operation. The header includes a frame configured to be coupled to the feeder house, a pickup belt assembly coupled to the frame and including a movable pickup belt configured to convey crop material, a transfer belt assembly coupled to the frame and including a movable transfer belt arranged to convey crop material from the pickup belt assembly to the feeder house in the forward feed direction, an actuator coupled to the frame that pivots the pickup belt assembly relative to the frame, and a discharge zone through which crop material is conveyed in the reverse feed direction during the declogging operation.

An agricultural vehicle having a chassis, wheels, a power unit, and a header. The header has a center section, at least one wing section extending laterally from the center section, and a wing section support. The center section is movable relative to the chassis, the wing section is movable relative to the center section, and the wing support is movable relative to the wing section. The combine has a control system that is configured to determine that the combine is configured to drive at a road-driving speed, and in response to such determination: operate a center section actuator to move the center section to a raised center section position, operate a wing section actuator to move the wing section to a raised wing section position, and operate a wing support actuator to move the wing support to a raised wing support position.

A harvester includes a frame and a header coupled to the frame. The header includes a center segment, a wing coupled to the center segment, and an actuator between the wing and the center segment. The wing includes a ground-engaging component configured to bear a first variable portion of the weight of the wing and a wing sensor coupled to the wing. The actuator is configured to transfer a second variable portion of the weight of the wing to the frame. A controller is configured to receive a signal from the wing sensor and to send a signal to the actuator to vary a ratio of the first variable portion of the weight of the wing to the second variable portion of the weight of the wing.

A harvester including a mono-camera having a first field of view, where the camera outputs a first image representative of the first field of view, and where the first image is a two-dimensional representation of the first field of view. The harvester also includes a controller in operable communication with the mono-camera, where the controller establishes a second two-dimensional reference frame fixed relative to the first field of view, where the controller identifies a reference point within the first image, where the controller locates the reference point within the second two-dimensional reference frame, and where the controller calculates the location of the reference point relative to the first, three-dimensional reference frame based on the position of the reference point within the second two-dimensional reference frame.

A sugarcane harvester includes basecutters for cutting sugarcane stalks from sugarcane plants; a chopping section for chopping the sugarcane stalks into billets; a discharge assembly for discharging the billets to a storage vehicle; and a height adjustment system for automatically adjusting a height of the basecutters to avoid unwanted contact between the basecutters and a ground surface.
