A harvester implement includes a traction unit and a harvester head having a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. A controller determines a first ground speed of the first lateral edge and a second ground speed of the second lateral edge. The controller may then determine if either the first ground speed or the second ground speed is greater than a maximum allowable harvest speed, such as may occur when executing a turn. When one of the first ground speed or the second ground speed of the harvester head is greater than the maximum allowable harvest speed, the controller may then control a drive system of the traction unit to decrease the ground speed from an initial traction unit ground speed to a reduced traction unit ground speed so that both the first and second lateral edges of the harvester head stay below the maximum allowable harvest speed.

A multi-layer segmentation/stalk cutter device for a first season of double-crop rice and a control method, and a combine harvester for a first season of double-crop rice, the multi-layer segmentation/stalk cutter device comprising: a cutting platform, a segmenting cutter and a stalk cutter, at least one segmenting cutter being disposed at a lower rear portion of the cutting platform, the segmenting cutter being hinged on a moving chassis, and a second execution mechanism controlling the cutting height of the segmenting cutter; the stalk cutter being disposed at a lower rear portion of the segmenting cutter, the stalk cutter being hinged on the moving chassis, and a third execution mechanism controlling the cutting height of the stalk cutter.

An assembly and method for sequestrating carbon into a soil by grinding a crop waste into a ground material and converting the ground material into a plurality of pellets. The pellets are passed into the soil with a tine assembly or a trenching assembly. The tine assembly has a hollow, elongated body movable between a retracted position wherein a second end is spaced above the soil and an extended position wherein the second end is positioned a distance below the surface of the soil. A gate is pivotally connected to the second end of the elongated body to be movable between a closed position, wherein the gate retains the pellets in the elongated body, and an open position, wherein the gate is positioned away from the second end of the elongated body to permit passage of the pellets from the bore and into the soil.

A grain tailings elevator for a combine harvester includes a an elevator housing having an interior containing a conveyor arrangement configured to transport grain tailings through the elevator housing to a discharge outlet. The elevator housing has a side wall with a window to the interior of the elevator housing. A camera having a camera housing containing an image sensor is mounted to the side wall of the elevator housing over the window with the image sensor in registration with the window. The image sensor is trained on the conveyor arrangement and configured to image the grain tailings transported by the conveyor arrangement through the elevator housing.

A dual cut header assembly including a header, a chopper suspended from the header, and an actuator system comprising one or more cylinders. The actuator system solely connects the chopper to the header. The dual cut header assembly further includes at least one sensor for measuring a state of the chopper and an actuator steering module connected to the actuator system. The header is configured to be lifted by an agricultural vehicle to cut crop material from a field at a first height. The chopper is configured to cut the crop material at a second height lower than the first height. The actuator steering module is configured to automatically adapt the distance based on the measured state of the chopper.
