An agricultural harvester has a frame and a spout that is movably mounted relative to the frame. A spout actuator drives movement of the spout relative to the frame based on a spout actuator control signal. Harvesting functionality engages material from a field and delivers the material through an outlet end of the spout as the agricultural harvester moves through the field in a direction of travel. A turn identifier identifies a location of a turn forward of the agricultural harvester in the direction of travel and generates a turn location indicator indicative of the location of the turn. A speed detector detects a speed of the agricultural harvester and generates a speed indicator indicative of the detected speed. A position compensation control system generates spout position compensation information for controlling the spout actuator based on the turn location indicator and the speed indicator, and a spout position controller generates the spout actuator control signal to control the spout actuator based on the spout position compensation information.

A harvesting system or device formed with an agricultural harvesting machine having a crop transfer device that that swivels about a swivel angle (?) for transferring crop and allows for setting a setpoint swivel angle (? .sub.soll) for discharging the crop, and a hauling vehicle that receives the crop. The crop that is discharged from the agricultural harvesting machine impacts the hauling vehicle at an adjustable impact point. If the deflection of the transfer device deviates from the setpoint swivel angle (? .sub.soll), a return of the transfer device to the setpoint swivel angle (? .sub.soll) is regulated by changing the ground speed (V.sub.E) of the agricultural harvesting machine, the ground speed (V.sub.T) of the hauling vehicle or bother while maintaining a position of the impact point substantially unchanged.

An apparatus and method for controlling material transfer from a harvesting machine. More specifically, an apparatus and method for transfer of an agricultural crop from a harvesting machine having a crop discharging device to a transport vehicle comprising a crop loading container while the harvesting machine and the transport vehicle travel on a field.

An intelligent fill level system includes a material unloading container having an interior and a material entryway and a plurality of perception sensors mounted along a rim of the entryway, each sensor configured to generate perception data representative of a profile of unloaded material in at least a portion of the interior. A data processing unit, which may for example be onboard the material unloading container, determines one or more multidimensional profile characteristics, such as for example a fill level, of the unloaded material within the material unloading container at least via fusion of the perception data from the plurality of perception sensors, and a communications unit, which may also for example be onboard the container, transmits output signals representative of the determined one or more multidimensional profile characteristics to one or more remote data processing units associated with respective material loading work machines.

A method of controlling a mobile agricultural machine that includes performing an agricultural operation during a given pass in a field using a first set of machine settings, obtaining in situ data representing the agricultural operation during the given pass, generating a performance metric based on the in situ data, identifying a second set of machine settings based on the performance metric, and outputting a control instruction that controls the mobile agricultural machine during a subsequent pass in the field based on the second set of machine settings.

An agricultural harvester has a frame and a spout that is mounted to the frame. A target landing point indicates a position in a receiving vehicle where material is intended to land. A control system detects an actual landing point and automatically controls the spout based on a difference between the actual landing point and the target landing point.

First imaging device collects first image data, whereas second imaging device collects second image data of a storage portion. An image processing module identifies a rim of a container in either the first image data or the second image data. The image processing module then overlays an outline of the rim in an image presented on a display to an operator of a transferring vehicle. The image processing module further identifies the fill level of material in a receiving vehicle container and overlays this information in the image presented on the display.
