A combination flex and rigid control system for a header of an agricultural harvester includes ground proximity detection arrangements for both rigid mode and flex mode operation of the header. The ground proximity detection arrangements are each coupled to the same sensor shaft by way of a sensor arm that is moved by either of the ground proximity detection arrangements.

An electric mower includes: a body; a battery on the body; a cover including: a back wall backward of the battery; and a left side wall and a right side wall each extending forward from the back wall, the cover covering at least a portion of the battery; at least one motor drivable by the battery; and at least one controller disposed between the battery and at least one of the left and right side walls and configured to control the at least one motor.

Systems and methods for automatically configuring a cutterbar between a flexible configuration and a rigid configuration in response to actuation of a gauge wheel are disclosed. The cutterbar is coupled to the gauge wheel such that extension of the gauge wheel causes the cutterbar to move into the rigid configuration and retraction of the gauge wheel causes the cutterbar to move into the flexible configuration.

An adjustable link for a flex wing cutter includes a first end portion, a second end portion, and a shaft. The first end portion provides first rotation about a first pin of the first end portion and second rotation about a second pin of the first end portion. The second end portion provides third rotation about a third pin of the second end portion and fourth rotation about a fourth pin of the second end portion. The shaft extends between the first end portion and the second end portion and is selectively repositionable relative to the first end portion to adjust a distance between the first end portion and the second end portion. The second end portion is configured to rotate about the shaft to provide a fifth rotation without adjusting the distance between the first end portion and the second end portion.

An adjustable skid shoe enabling a flexible cutter bar of an agricultural combine harvester to follow the ground at a higher cut height during the flex cutter bar mode. The adjustable skid shoe is hinged and can be fixed so the curved aft end lowers the ground contact surface beneath the header, raising the cut height in flex mode. The adjusted skid shoe contacts the ground further back from the cutter bar, allowing the cutter bar to reach close to the ground by a front pivot of the header on the adjusted skid shoe. Also, an agricultural vehicle header and an agricultural combine harvester comprising the skid shoe.

A rigid height control system configured to be coupled to a header includes a rigid arm pivotally coupled to a shaft. The rigid arm includes an upper end and a lower end, wherein the lower end is configured to engage a ground surface. The rigid height control system includes a metal channel guide coupled to the shaft and a magnet embedded within the rigid arm adjacent the upper end. The magnet is configured to keep the rigid arm attached to the metal channel guide via a magnetic force so that the lower end engages the ground surface when the agricultural harvester travels in a forward direction. The magnet is configured, when the agricultural harvester travels in a reverse direction causing a force exerted by the ground surface on the rigid arm to exceed the magnetic force, to allow a release of the rigid arm from the metal channel guide.

An electric mower includes: a body; a battery on the body; a cover including: a back wall backward of the battery; and a left side wall and a right side wall each extending forward from the back wall, the cover covering at least a portion of the battery; at least one motor drivable by the battery; and at least one controller disposed between the battery and at least one of the left and right side walls and configured to control the at least one motor.
