Automatic Travel Method, Work Vehicle And Automatic Travel System
A combine includes a control device and a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes a control device, and when the control device detects movement to one field where automatic travel is to be performed, the control device functions as a parameter setting unit that sets a field parameter corresponding to the one field. The control device functions as a travel control unit that executes automatic travel of the combine on the basis of a work route set for the one field and the field parameter.
Method, Control Device and Control System for Operating an Agricultural Harvesting Machine and Agricultural Harvesting Machine
Method for operating an agricultural harvesting machine (1), wherein the agricultural harvesting machine (1) has a working assembly (2) in which a foreign body sensor (19) is installed, wherein a measurement signal provided by the foreign body sensor (19) is evaluated with the aid of a signal analysis in such a manner that the signal analysis is taken as a basis for determining at least one component of the working assembly (2) which has a fault which triggers, in the measurement signal, a signal component which incorrectly causes the presence of a foreign body to be detected.

ACTIVE LOSS MONITOR FOR A HARVESTER
An embodiment includes a combine having a grain sample sensor for detecting frequencies of impacts of separated grain on the grain sample sensor, a grain loss sensor for detecting frequencies of impacts of residue and lost grain on the grain loss sensor, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive, from the grain sample sensor, the frequencies of the impacts of the separated grain, receive, from the grain loss sensor, the frequencies of the impacts of the residue and the lost grain, set a detection frequency band based on the frequencies of the impacts of the separated grain, filter the frequencies of the impacts of the residue and the lost grain based on the detection frequency band, determine, from the filtered frequencies, grain loss information, and indicate the grain loss information to an operator of the combine, or control the combine based on the grain loss information.
CONTROL OF RESIDUE SPREAD PATTERN BY CONTINUOUSLY VARYING DISTRIBUTION FREQUENCY
An embodiment includes a combine having a feeder housing for receiving harvested crop, a separating system for threshing the harvested crop to separate grain from residue, a residue spreader wheel spinning for expelling the residue from the combine, and a controller that controls the combine. The controller is configured to control the residue spreader wheel to continuously oscillate between a first speed less than a nominal speed and a second speed greater than the nominal speed while spreading the residue.
TARGET FOR GRAIN TANK LEVEL SENSOR INTEGRATED INTO THE GRAIN TANK
An embodiment includes a system for sensing harvested grain levels within an agricultural harvester. The system including a grain tank configured to receive harvested grain, a sensor configured to emit a sensor beam into the grain tank for reflection off of the top surface of the harvested grain, and a reflective target integrated into a bottom surface of the grain tank at a minimum detectable grain level within the grain tank. The bottom surface of the grain tank being angled towards the sensor, the minimum detectable grain level being defined by a minimum grain level within the grain tank at which the top surface of the harvested grain is contacted by the sensor beam, and the reflective target being configured to reflect the sensor beam when the current grain level is vertically below the minimum detectable grain level.
REMOTE AND AUTOMATIC CONNECTION AND DRIVE OF A COMBINE HEADER
An embodiment includes a combine having a header with a motor driving a blade for harvesting crop, a power receiving connector connected to the motor, where the power receiving connector supplies power to drive the motor, and a mechanical connector. The combine also includes a feeder housing with an opening for receiving the harvested crop from the header, a power supplying connector connected to a power plant of the combine, and a mechanical actuator. A controller controls the combine by attaching the header to the feeder housing by lifting the header such that the power receiving connector and the power supplying connector are automatically mated, and such that the mechanical actuator and the mechanical connector are mated, and controlling the power plant to generate and supply electrical power or hydraulic power to the power supply connector, which is supplied to the motor of the header via the power receiving connector.
