A driver assistance system of an agricultural harvesting machine with a harvesting header designed as a draper is disclosed. The driver assistance system comprises a memory for storing data and a computing device for processing the data saved in the memory. The draper comprises a central belt and at least one transverse conveyor belt arranged on the left side and the right side of the central belt for conveying the harvested material to the central belt. The draper forms, together with the driver assistance system, an automatic draper. The computing device operates the automatic draper as a characteristic diagram controller using the saved characteristic diagrams, with the automatic draper optimizing operating parameters of the draper and specifying the optimized operating parameters for the draper. The characteristic diagrams describe the relationship between the operating parameters and quality parameters, and a control characteristic curve is assigned to the particular characteristic diagram.

A crop head for a harvester includes a folding frame having a first frame portion and a second frame portion configured to be folded in a transport state and unfolded in a harvesting state. The first and second frame portions are lockable with respect to each other to inhibit folding and unlockable with respect to each other to allow folding. A plurality of crop dividers is supported by the first frame portion. The plurality of crop dividers includes at least one movable crop divider that is movable with respect to the first frame portion. The crop head also includes a cylinder and a piston movable with respect to the cylinder. The piston is operable to move the movable crop divider between the first and second positions and is configured to directly engage the first and second frame portions to lock the first and second frame portions with respect to each other.

An agricultural machine comprises a carrier vehicle and an attachment is disclosed. The attachment is pivotably guided on the carrier vehicle about an axis extending in the direction of travel of the carrier vehicle. To the right and left of the axis, a support wheel is connected to the attachment via a damped, compressible arm. A control circuit is configured to decide whether a pivoting motion of the attachment about the axis is or is not desirable and, in the case that the pivoting motion is desirable, the arm that is compressed by the pivoting motion is switched from a strongly dampened compressible state to a substantially undampened state.

A header including a cutter bar configured to cut crop for harvesting and a header frame supporting the cutter bar. A transport assembly is operatively connected to the header frame. A support arm is rotatably coupled to an axle of the transport assembly and is pivotably coupled to a mounting frame coupled to the header frame. A cam linkage is disposed at the support arm to provide a mechanical advantage for an operator when moving the transport assembly from a transport position to a harvest position. The cam linkage includes a lift assist device having a first end connected to the mounting frame and a second end coupled to a cam arm. Extension of the second end from the first end of the lift assist device applies the cam arm to a cam surface of the support arm to move the transport assembly to the harvest position.

In one aspect, a system for controlling the operation of harvesting implements configured for use with agricultural harvesters includes a harvesting implement configured to be supported relative to an agricultural harvester, and at least one user interface component supported on the harvesting implement. The user interface component(s) is configured to receive input commands associated with controlling an operation of the harvesting implement. The system also includes an implement-based controller supported on the harvesting implement and being communicatively coupled to the user interface element(s) such that the implement-based controller is configured to receive the input commands from the at least one user interface component.

An agricultural harvester including a header assembly, includes: a multicoupler storage assembly including: a multicoupler assembly including a plurality of at least one of hydraulic connectors and electrical connectors; and a cradle mechanism configured for storing the multicoupler assembly and for selectively pivoting between a receiving position associated with the cradle mechanism receiving the multicoupler assembly and a storage position associated with the cradle mechanism storing the multicoupler assembly.

An actuator assembly for moving an implement attached to an agricultural vehicle. The actuator assembly includes an actuator comprising a longitudinal axis, a cylinder extending along the longitudinal axis, and a piston rod extending from the cylinder along the longitudinal axis and that is configured to be attached to the implement at a connection point. A safety stop is pivotably attached at the connection point and is movable between a deployed position where the safety stop is configured to block retraction of the actuator, and a retracted position where the safety stop is not configured to block retraction of the actuator. The safety stop is configured to rotate with respect to the actuator about a first rotational axis that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, as well as a second rotational axis that is orthogonal to both the longitudinal axis and the first rotational axis.

A system for controlling an operative parameter of a harvesting header of an agricultural harvesting machine comprises a first sensing arrangement for sensing a property of a field in front of the header in a contact-less manner, a second sensing arrangement for providing a signal suited to derive a value of an adjustable work parameter of the header, an actuator for adjusting the work parameter, and a control unit for determining a control signal for the actuator based on the signal from the first sensing arrangement and on the signal from the second sensing arrangement. The second sensing arrangement is arranged to detect the position of a reference point, which indicates the work parameter, in a contact-less manner, and that the first sensing arrangement and the second sensing arrangement are relatively fixed.
