Abstract:
A combine harvester which regulates spreading of crop flow on the ground, with the crop flow passing through a shredding and/or a spreading device in the rear region of the combine harvester, is disclosed. The combine harvester includes a driver assistance system, which includes a computing unit and a display unit. The computing unit processes information generated by the machine's internal sensor systems, external information and information storable in the computing unit. The driver assistance system stores selectable spreading strategies to regulate the spreading of the crop flow exiting the combine harvester and one or more of the partial strategies assigned to the respective spreading strategy. The driver assistance system uses the selectable spreading strategies and the partial strategies in order to regulate the crop flow spread on the ground.
