A cotton harvesting system includes one or more cotton quality characteristic sensors, configured to detect a plurality of cotton quality characteristics and to generate cotton quality characteristic sensor data indicative of the plurality of cotton quality characteristics; one or more processors and memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to performs steps. The steps comprising: obtaining the cotton quality characteristic sensor data; determining, for each cotton cluster of a plurality of cotton clusters generated by a cotton harvester, a respective set of cotton quality metrics based on the cotton quality characteristic sensor data, wherein for each respective set, each cotton quality metric corresponds to a different cotton quality characteristic than the other cotton quality metrics of the respective set; and generating a control signal based on at least one respective set of cotton quality metrics.

A system includes a hanger assembly configured to couple to a drum that includes a first vertical arm bracket and a second vertical arm bracket configured to couple to the drum. The first vertical arm bracket includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the first end is configured to couple to the housing and the second end is coupled to a first hub coupled to a first roller. The hanger assembly is configured to hang on a toolbar of a header of the agricultural harvester via the first roller and a second roller. The first roller is coupled to a cam system configured to adjust a position of the first roller relative to the toolbar to adjust a levelness of the drum relative to an adjacent drum hanging on the toolbar.

An accumulator includes an enclosure, an inlet, an outlet, at least one roller, and a cotton compress assembly. The cotton compress assembly includes a first auger coupled to the enclosure. The first auger has a first shaft and a flighting attached to the first shaft. The flighting is positioned within the enclosure. The first auger compresses the cotton when the first auger rotates around a first axis.
