A combine header having a snout extension with a flat bottom surface base component converging toward each other, a cover arching over the base component and conforming to and at least as wide as the snout. Connecting plates on opposite sides of the snout extension tool attaching the snout extension tool to the snout.

A header has a position controlled gauge wheel that is controlled using a position actuator. The position actuator is locked when the gauge wheel is in a selected position, relative to a mainframe of the header. An operator input, changing the position of the header, is detected and the position actuator is unlocked to accommodate movement of the header, based on the detected operator input signal.

An agricultural system includes a corn head with an end divider and an actuator that moves the end divider between a raised position and a retracted position. An actuator controller receives an input and automatically controls the actuator to move the end divider to a position based upon the input.

Crop is carried into a feed opening of a harvester by two side drapers, two rear back sheets defining an opening between inner edges, a central feed draper and a roller with end flight portions and a central finger portion located above the feed draper. In this geometry, a bottom tangent to the flight portions has a position which is at a height below the rear edge of the side drapers. The roller axis of the feed roller is behind the rear edge of the side drapers and behind a common plane containing the back sheets. The inner guide roller of each of the first and second side drapers is located inwardly of the inner edge of the first back sheet and inwardly of an outer end of the end flight portion. A forward most tangent to the flight portions projects forward of or proud of the common back sheet plane.

Method and apparatus for presenting information associated with a multi-segment header of an agricultural harvester. The operational states of the segments are monitored and used to present information. Examples of presented information include graphics depicting which segments are operational and which segments are non-operational, crop coverage maps, and crop yield maps.

The present invention relates to a cutting unit (2) for attachment to the height-adjustable intake duct (6) of a harvester (4). In order to improve the sensor-supported height guidance of cutting units, it is proposed to provide at least one additional load sensor (26) which measures the load (28) with which the cutting unit (2) loads the intake duct (6), in order to calculate a height-control-relevant signal (32) from the transmitted sensor values (25) of the distance sensor (18) and the load sensor (26) via an evaluation device (24), which signal (32) is transmitted to the interface (34).

An agricultural method for automatically controlling a position of a harvesting implement of an agricultural harvester, where the harvesting implement may be movably supported relative to a chassis of the agricultural harvester, and where a cab may be movably supported relative to the chassis, may include receiving inertial movement data from an implement-based inertial measurement unit (IMU) supported on the harvesting implement and inertial movement data from a vehicle-based IMU supported on at least one of the cab or the chassis of the agricultural harvester. The method may further include determining a relative movement parameter of the harvesting implement relative to the at least one of the cab or the chassis based at least in part on the inertial movement data. Additionally, the method may include controlling an operation of an implement actuator based at least in part on the relative movement parameter.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for automatically controlling a position of a reel relative to wing of an agricultural header in response to movement of the wing are disclosed. In some instances, a position of the reel, such as a portion of the reel, is located at a different position relative to the wing based on an amount of articulation of the wing, such as an amount of angular displacement of the wing relative to a datum, such as a center frame of the header.

A header (102) for an agricultural harvester (100) comprising a frame (104), a cutter bar (106), a draper belt and a cutter bar support sub-assembly connected to the frame is disclosed. The cutter bar support sub-assembly generally includes a draper support sub-assembly (200A,200B) and a support arm subassembly. The draper support sub-assembly is pivotably connected to the support arm sub-assembly and pivotable about a longitudinal axis of the support arm sub-assembly. The draper support sub-assembly includes a first draper support (608) that includes a curved surface engaging the draper belt and a cutter bar mount (606) supporting the cutter bar. The support arm sub assembly includes a support member connected to the frame.
