A harvesting system includes a header pivotably attached to a combine. The header includes a center section to which a left wing and right wing are pivotably attached. A wing locking system of the harvesting system includes first and second engageable states that enable dynamic wing behavior and reduce structural load. The first state corresponds to a harvesting configuration of the header in which the wings are allowed to pivot to allow the header to follow changes in terrain. The second state corresponds to a configuration in which the header is elevated relative to the ground. In the second state, the ability of the wings to pivot is minimized as compared to the first state, which allows the header to be maintained in a substantially fiat configuration while minimizing the amount of dynamic load imparted by the header on the combine during non-harvesting transport of the header.

A wing locking system for a harvesting header is provided. The wing locking system includes an accumulator, a fluid cylinder operably attached to a wing of the harvesting header, a hose fluidly connecting the accumulator and the fluid cylinder, and a valve operably disposed between the accumulator and the fluid cylinder. The valve includes a first selectable position configured to permit a first fluid flow rate between the accumulator and the fluid cylinder and a second selectable position configured to permit a second fluid flow rate from the accumulator to the fluid cylinder. The first fluid flow rate is greater than the second fluid flow rate.

An agricultural harvesting head for an agricultural harvester has a constant force assembly that changes the mechanical advantage of a spring applied to the mainframe of the agricultural harvesting head. As the mainframe of the agricultural harvesting head moves up and down on the front of the combine feederhouse, compressing and decompressing the spring, the constant force assembly changes the mechanical advantage of the spring such that the spring provides a relatively constant lifting force to the mainframe of the harvesting head as the mainframe moves up and down.

A harvesting system includes a header pivotally attached to a combine. The header includes a center section to which a left wing and right wing are pivotally attached. A suspension system of the harvesting system includes first and second engageable states that enable dynamic wing behavior and reduce structural load. The first state corresponds to a harvesting configuration of the header in which the wings are allowed to pivot to allow the header to follow changes in terrain. The second state corresponds to a configuration in which the header is elevated relative to the ground. In the second state, the ability of the wings to pivot is minimized as compared to the first state, which allows the header to be maintained in a substantially flat configuration while minimizing the amount of dynamic load imparted by the header on the combine during non-harvesting transport of the header.

In a crop harvesting header with a center section and two wings where each wing is pivotal relative to the center section about a pivot axis extending in a generally forward direction which includes a balance system to maintain a balanced ground force distribution across the width of the header there is provided an automatic adjustment system for maintaining proper balance. The system includes angle or other sensors which detect the pivot angle of the wing section. This can be used in a static testing system where the position to set to a detected midpoint and/or in a dynamic system where repeatedly, over a time period during which the header is operating, data is detected relating to the positions of each wing frame portion.

An agricultural vehicle including a chassis and a header carried by the chassis and including a cutter mechanism. The header is adjustable in a vertical direction. The agricultural vehicle also includes a header actuator connected to the header and configured to adjust the header in the vertical direction, and a controller coupled to the header actuator. The controller is configured for receiving an input command for controlling an operation of the header actuator to achieve a lifting height, operating the header actuator in conformance with the input command, and terminating the operating of the header actuator.

A control arm linkage system includes a pair of upper control arms and a pair of lower control arms to attach a crop harvesting header to a harvester frame of an agricultural harvester. The attachment of the header to the harvester via the control arm linkage system allows the header to move relative the harvester, with the header being displaced upward and heeled backwards in response to an upward force being imparted onto a lower surface of the header. The control arm linkage system thus allows the header to automatically adjust and adapt to unexpected raised mound that may be encountered along the path of the header during harvesting.

Relative to a gaming system, a jackpot or game win processing device and server are configured to receive acknowledgement from a player regarding a gaming win award, such as input to the game win processing device of a signature by the player to gaming win forms. In response, the server is configured to generate at least one gaming win reporting form, such as a W2G, to store that form and provide access to the form, such as by emailing the form to the player or allowing the player to access the form via a portal.

A method for calibrating a height control system for an implement of an agricultural work vehicle can include providing an input signal to the height control system to adjust a height of the implement relative to the ground surface; monitoring the height of the implement relative to the ground surface; adjusting at least one gain of the height control system; and determining a maximum stability gain of the height control system based on the at least one gain and the monitored height. The maximum stability gain can correspond with a stability point of the height control system at which the height control system transitions from stable to unstable. The method can include setting gain(s) of the height control system based on the maximum stability gain.

An agricultural machine includes a main frame, a rockshaft pivotably coupled to the main frame, a lift actuator couple between the rock shaft and the main frame, a lift arm pivotably coupled to the main frame below the rockshaft, a lift strap coupled between the rockshaft and the lift arm, and a lift actuator coupled between the main frame and the lift strap to pull the lift arm upwards. The agricultural machine includes header, which is supported by the lift arm and the float actuator above the ground at a desired harvesting height. During harvesting, the lift arm may encounter uneven ground, causing the header to move away from the desired harvesting height. By measuring float actuator pressure or header position and by changing the pressure in the float actuator or lift actuator in response, the header can be rapidly returned to the desired harvesting height.
