Mowing systems include a mower and, optionally, a remote control unit such as a handheld unit, between which may be provided 1- or 2-way communications. Components and features are included in the mower, the remote control unit, or both to enhance the safety, functionality, or user experience of the system's user/operator. One aspect relates to monitoring a tilt angle of the mower, and defining or executing different system responses as a function of different first and second conditions that relate to the tilt angle. Another aspect relates to automatic adjustment of a speed setting of the mower's drive system as a function of a power takeoff (PTO) unit of the mower.

A structural set for assembling a header intended for harvesters is capable of compensation of the lateral movement of the header according to the ground conditions of the planting rows being harvested. More particularly, a structural set for assembling a header in an agricultural machine comprising a girder with a central beam interconnected to at least two structural columns, the central beam being provided with a pivoting point for engaging and fastening a bracket, and at least one return element of the bracket for returning the bracket in a substantially horizontal position when at rest.

In order to require as few load measuring units (50) as possible and yet always know the loads acting on the boom (3, 4) independently of the working head (2) currently attached to the boom (3, 4), the load measuring unit (50), in particular only one, is either on or in the boom (3, 4), in particular fixed, or between arm end (18a) of the boom and the head end (18b) of the working head (2) facing it.

The configuration includes: a motor for driving a driving wheel (rear wheel) provided to a body; a slip ratio calculating section for calculating a slip ratio while the lawn mower is traveling; a friction coefficient calculating section for calculating a friction coefficient of a ground on which the lawn mower is traveling; a determination section for determining whether the ground on which the lawn mower is traveling is a lawn based on a relationship between the slip ratio and the friction coefficient and a drive controlling section for controlling the motor based on a determination result from the determination section. This configuration allows suitable driving operability for both of a case where the ground on which a lawn mowers traveling is a lawn and a case where the ground is other than a lawn.

An agricultural harvesting machine has a cutting apparatus formed as a header for cutting and picking up crop of a crop stand, an inclined conveyor downstream of the cutting apparatus and in which a temporal layer height flow is adjusted, and a driver assistance system for controlling the cutting apparatus. The driver assistance system has a computing device and a sensor arrangement with a crop sensor system for generating crop parameters of the crop stand and a layer height sensor for generating the temporal layer height flow. The computing device simultaneously generates the cutting apparatus parameters of the cutting table length, horizontal reel position and vertical reel position so as to be adapted to one another and conveys them to the cutting apparatus to implement a harvesting process strategy in ongoing harvesting operation.

A tipping avoidance system configured to modify operation of a collision avoidance system. The tipping avoidance system may include a payload determination system configured to generate a payload signal, and a load position determination system configured to generate a load position signal. The tipping avoidance system may also include a tipping avoidance controller configured to receive the payload signal and the load position signal, and determine, based at least in part on the payload signal and the load position signal, a minimum stopping distance at or above which the machine will not tip due at least in part to deceleration of the machine from a travel speed to a stopped condition. The tipping avoidance controller may be configured to communicate with a braking controller, such that the braking controller adjusts a stop triggering distance based at least in part on the minimum stopping distance.

A separating and cleaning mechanism for an agricultural combine may include: a return pan. The return pan includes a textured floor, two augers, and two motors coupled to the two augers, respectively, to selectively drive the motors in rotation independently. The textured floor may oscillate in a fore-and-aft direction to move grain toward the two augers.

A system for recognizing an operating intention at an operating unit that can be actuated manually includes an image capture unit for monitoring a capture region surrounding the operating unit for an entering hand in order to capture it in terms of a positioning of a palm of a hand or of one or a plurality of fingers in relation to the operating unit and to generate corresponding image information. An evaluation unit is provided for comparing the generated image information with at least one image pattern that is characteristic for an operating intention from a pattern memory. In the event of a correspondence that lies within a permitted variation range, a controllable function is enabled on the part of the operating unit.
