A map is obtained by an agricultural system. The map maps values of a characteristic to different geographic locations in a field. A control system generates a control signal to control operation of one or more end dividers on an agricultural harvester based on the map.

An agricultural system includes a head configured to be mounted to an agricultural harvester, an end divider, and an actuator configured to actuate the end divider. The agricultural system further includes an actuator controller that identifies a control action, corresponding to the end divider, to take based on an end divider action criterion detected by an input mechanism. The agricultural system also includes a control signal generation system that automatically generates a control signal to control the actuator to actuate the end divider based on the identified control action.

A header for an agricultural vehicle including a frame and at least one row unit supported by the frame. The at least one row unit including has at least one deck assembly. The at least one deck assembly has a plurality of plates defining an outer periphery for contacting a crop material. Adjacent ones of the plurality of plates at least partially overlap and are movable with respect to one another.

A stalk roll may be configured to be mounted upon a stalk roll drive shaft of a corn harvesting header, wherein the stalk roll drive shaft has a generally square cross-sectional shape. The stalk roll may comprise a main cylinder with a plurality of flutes extending radially from the main cylinder along the length of the main cylinder. A taper may be positioned toward the front end of the main cylinder. The flutes may be configured such this with differing edges to facilitate stalk movement into and through the ear separation zone to the plant separation zone. The flutes may be configured such that a bladeless area proximate to the nose cone on each of two stalk rolls of an opposing pair cooperate to form at stalk engagement gap in at least one moment in time per revolution of the stalk rolls.

Frame assemblies for a corn row head formed from components formed from different materials may include a frame portion having a first beam leg and a second beam leg formed of a first material and a skid plate attached to each of the first beam leg and the second beam leg formed from a second material different than the first material. The first material may be aluminum, and the second material may be steel. In some implementations, a breast plate joining the first beam leg and the second beam leg may be formed from the first material and may be welded to the first beam leg and the second beam leg. In other implementations, the breast plate may be formed from the second material and may be adhesively bonded to the first and second beam legs.

An data processor is configured to identify the component pixels of a harvestable plant component within an obtained image data of plant pixels of the one or more target plants. An edge, boundary or outline of the component pixels is determined. The data processor is configured to detect a size of the harvestable plant component based on the determined edge, boundary or outline of the identified component pixels, along with an adjustment based on analysis of any exposed portions of the harvestable plant component. A user interface is configured to provide a yield indicator based on the detected size of the harvestable plant component.

The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to devices, systems and methods for reducing cross-track error in harvesting row crops such as corn. A cross track error system including a corn head, a row unit disposed on the corn head. The row unit including a set of stripper plates, a resilient member disposed proximal to the stripper plates, a sensor unit in communication with the resilient member, and a processor. The processor is constructed and arranged to process signals generated by the sensor unit in response to deflection of the resilient member.

A harvesting knife has a base body, which is configured to be applied in a manner rotating in a machine around a drive rotational axis allocated to said base body, and has a plurality of teeth on its circumference wherein, prior to a first application, at least one of the teeth has at least one cutter formed thereon.

The disclosure relates to agricultural systems. The systems have stalk sensor assemblies and/or data visualization systems. The stalk sensor assemblies are configured for assessing the size and other characteristics about crops, such as corn and other grains entering an agricultural implement, such as a harvester. The stalk sensor assemblies may use an estimation of the stalk perimeter to establish stalk size and therefore further features about the crop. The visualization system utilizes data from the stalk sensor assemblies to calculate and display relevant information about the crop.

A harvester implement includes a crop processor positioned to receive the crop material from a head unit and process the crop material to alter a characteristic of the crop material, e.g., a cut length or a kernel processing score. An image sensor assembly is positioned downstream of the crop processor along a flow path of the crop material. The image sensor assembly is operable to capture a post-processing image of the crop material. A computing device is operable to execute a crop processing analysis algorithm to receive the post-processing image of the crop material from the image sensor assembly, and to analyze the post-processing image to determine an actual degree of processing to the characteristic of the crop material achieved by the crop processor. The computing device may then communicate a notification signal to an output indicating the actual degree of processing to the characteristic of the crop material.
