An agricultural header includes: a header frame; at least one cutting unit carried by the header frame and including a cutting element and a driveshaft coupled to the cutting element; and a gearbox configured to drive the cutting element. The gearbox includes a gearbox output rotatably coupled to the driveshaft; and a clutch including an intermediate shaft and at least one clutch shoe rotatably coupled to the intermediate shaft and displaceable between a non-engaging position where the at least one clutch shoe does not engage the gearbox output and an engaging position where the at least one clutch shoe engages the gearbox output. The clutch is configured such that the at least one clutch shoe displaces to the engaging position when a rotational speed of the intermediate shaft reaches a threshold value.

An apparatus for damping a pitching oscillation of a working vehicle comprising: a first actuator for adjusting a position of an implement couple to the working vehicle; a second actuator for adjusting a propulsion rate of the working vehicle; and a control device in communication with the first and second actuators, the control device configured to receive an operating mode signal corresponding to an operating mode of at least one of the working vehicle and implement, and to generate control signals to the first actuator and the second actuator as a function of the operating mode signal.

A method for controlling and documenting a working operation of an agricultural working machine with an device, the method comprising: providing a first device data for identification of the design of the device; collecting second device data relating to the operation of the device; determining one or more physical dimensions of the device using the second device data obtained during operation of the device; storing first device data together with the physical dimensions in a database; retrieving from the database the physical dimension for the device with the agricultural working machine based on the first device data; and controlling a working process of the agricultural working machine based on the retrieved physical dimensions of the device.

A roller is connected to a harvesting platform for movement with a combine over a ground surface in a direction of travel. The roller includes a first portion defining a first diameter and including a first material, and a second portion defining a second diameter and including a second material. The second diameter is greater than the first diameter. The second portion substantially surrounds the first portion, the second material has different material properties than the first material. The roller extends in the direction of travel and rotates about a second axis which extends generally parallel to the direction of travel.

A track system for traction of a vehicle, such as an all-terrain vehicle (ATV), an agricultural vehicle, etc. The track system comprises a track and a track-engaging assembly for driving and guiding the track around the track-engaging assembly. The track system may be configured to facilitate adjustment of certain aspects of its operation, including, for example, how it is positioned and/or can move relative to a frame of the vehicle, based on one or more factors, such as, for instance, a user's preferences (e.g., riding style, desire to “feel” the ground, etc.), an environment of the track system (e.g., a profile of the ground, such as a slope or steepness or a levelness of the ground; a compliance of the ground, such as a softness or hardness of the ground, etc.), a state of the track system (e.g., a speed and/or a direction of motion of the track, etc.), a state of the vehicle (e.g., a speed and/or direction of the vehicle, etc.), and/or any other suitable factor. For instance, the track system may comprise a control mechanism configured to adjust an anti-rotation device that is configured to restrict movement of the track system relative to the frame of the vehicle. The control mechanism may be configured to adjust the anti-rotation device in response to a command, which may be input via a user interface or automatically generated by a controller.

A method for the evaluation of signals of a rangefinder having at least one sensor point involves carrying out measurements cyclically, wherein the rangefinder emits a plurality of measurement points that indicate a distance from the sensor point. The rangefinder measures distances in a plurality of directions, and a horizontal angle is associated with each measurement point. The measurement points are differentiated into useful signals and interfering signals based on the distance. Measurement points with a distance below a first limiting value are identified as interfering signals, and measurement points above the first limiting value are identified as useful signals. Useful signals are associated with a first measurement area when they satisfy a predetermined condition for distance and horizontal angle. The quantity of useful signals in the first measurement area is determined, and a warning signal is emitted when the quantity of useful signals lies below a first threshold value.

A combine is a combine in which an engine is arranged at a front portion of a traveling machine body. The combine includes a cooling device that cools the engine, and an electric controller that controls operation of the combine is arranged on one side surface of the cooling device.

A feederhouse assembly for an agricultural harvester includes a feederhouse comprising an inlet end, a rotational shaft coupled to the feederhouse and defining a plurality of fluid passages therethrough, and a frame adjacent the inlet end and arranged to pivot about the rotational shaft relative to the feederhouse. The frame defines a crop opening therethrough and is configured to carry a harvesting header. An agricultural harvester includes a chassis, the feederhouse assembly mounted to the chassis, and a processing system carried by the chassis and structured to receive crop material from the feederhouse.
