CUTTING TOOLS FOR HARVESTING HEADER DIVIDERS, HARVESTING HEADERS CARRYING SUCH TOOLS, AND RELATED METHODS
A cutting tool for a harvesting header includes a longitudinal member having a straight portion with a non-round cross-section, a hook coupled to the longitudinal member and configured to secure the longitudinal member to a divider of a harvesting header, and a cutting blade extending from the longitudinal member. A harvesting header for use with a crop-harvesting machine includes a header frame structured to be coupled to the crop-harvesting machine, a divider at an end of the header frame, and a cutting tool carried by the divider. The divider defines a tube therein, and the longitudinal member of the cutting tool is disposed at least partially within the tube. A method of preparing a harvesting header includes sliding a longitudinal member of a cutting tool into a tube within a divider, and engaging a hook to secure the longitudinal member to the tube.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TOOLLESS CROP DIVIDER ADJUSTMENT
A crop divider includes a housing including an interior cavity and an adjustment assembly disposed within the interior cavity of the housing. In an embodiment, the adjustment assembly is configured to adjust a height of the housing relative to ground. In an embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment handle disposed within the interior cavity and a pivot disposed vertically above the adjustment handle within the interior cavity of the housing. In an embodiment, the housing is configured to rotate about an axis through the pivot in response to rotation of the adjustment handle.
Light-emitting mechanism on crop divider rod of harvesting header
A crop divider assembly for a harvesting header includes a housing defining an interior cavity and including a forwardmost end. A divider rod has a first end and a second end, where the first end is coupled to the forwardmost end of the housing. A light-emitting mechanism is coupled to the second end of the divider rod. The divider rod extends upwardly from the forwardmost end, and the light-emitting mechanism is positioned at a location above the forwardmost end of the housing.

CONTROLLABLE END DIVIDERS
An agricultural system includes a head configured to be mounted to an agricultural harvester, an end divider, and an actuator configured to actuate the end divider. The agricultural system further includes an actuator controller that identifies a control action, corresponding to the end divider, to take based on an end divider action criterion detected by an input mechanism. The agricultural system also includes a control signal generation system that automatically generates a control signal to control the actuator to actuate the end divider based on the identified control action.
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.
