Monitor system for a harvester
A harvester including a mono-camera having a first field of view, where the camera outputs a first image representative of the first field of view, and where the first image is a two-dimensional representation of the first field of view. The harvester also includes a controller in operable communication with the mono-camera, where the controller establishes a second two-dimensional reference frame fixed relative to the first field of view, where the controller identifies a reference point within the first image, where the controller locates the reference point within the second two-dimensional reference frame, and where the controller calculates the location of the reference point relative to the first, three-dimensional reference frame based on the position of the reference point within the second two-dimensional reference frame.
CONSTRUCTIVE ARRANGEMENT APPLIED TO GRAIN HARVESTING MACHINE
A constructive arrangement applied to a grain harvesting machine reducing the sizes of the bulk carrier and the collecting set, bringing them to measurements which are compatible with the body of the machine, thus enabling transportation next to the machine, with no need to disassemble any parts, having hinges and support arms of the bucket and the support structure of the receiving device provided with hinging devices to reduce their lateral dimensions, those hinging devices being activated by hydraulic cylinders.

Bale stacker
A bale stacker and method of using a bale stacker for consolidating a plurality of bales into a bale stack. The bale stacker including a bale stacker chassis supported for translational motion over a surface and one or more: of a bale lift, a bale receiving platform disposed over the bale stacker chassis to receive bales released from the bale lift, a bale transfer table disposing a plurality of bales in bale stack, a bale stack bed having at least one fork movable to abut a bale stack on said bale stack bed, a bale shuffler operable to engage the bale stack to align the bales in the bale stack, and a bale stack push of operable to engage the bale stack disposed on said bale stack bed in primarily vertical orientation to push a plurality of bale stacks off from the bale stack bed.

Forage harvester with automatic detection of receiving vehicle
A sensor detects a variable indicative of a position of a receiving vehicle relative to a harvester during a harvester operation in which a material conveyance subsystem on the harvester is conveying harvested material to the receiving vehicle. If the receiving vehicle is in a compromised position in which it is out of range of the material conveyance subsystem or is about to be out of range, then a control signal is generated that can alert the operator of the harvester, automatically control harvester speed, or perform other control operations.

OPERATOR COMMANDED PLACEMENT FOR CONTROL OF FILLING MECHANISMS
An agricultural harvester has a frame and a spout that is mounted to the frame. A display shows a representation of harvested crop in a receiving vessel. A control system detects an operator input selecting a portion of the receiving vessel and automatically controls a fill control system to being filling the receiving vessel, at the selected portions of the receiving vessel, with harvested material.
