Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for automatically adjusting conditioning rollers of a crimping implement, such as those used to condition hay or other crimped crops, such as cover crops. Adjustments can be made on the fly to rollers, crimpers, or down pressure applicators used to condition the crop based on several factors such as the condition of the crop, the type of crop, and more. Sensors can be used to detect the crops and others' conditions before and after conditioning, and automatic adjustments can be made, such as the distance between conditioning rollers, and/or the pressure applied by the rollers, etc. to meet a desired crop condition for the crimped crop.

Abstract: A baler implement includes a bale formation system operable to form crop material into a bale and eject the bale into an unloading zone. An object detection sensor is positioned to detect data related to the unloading zone. A baler controller is operable to determine if an object is present in the unloading zone or if an object is not present in the unloading zone based on a data signal from the object detection sensor. When an object is not present in the unloading zone, the controller may initiate the bale ejection sequence to eject the bale. When an object is present in the unloading zone, the controller may prevent initiation of the bale ejection sequence to prevent ejection of the bale onto the object.

Abstract: A header and a crop merger are operably attached to a harvester, wherein the crop merger receives cut crop from the header. A controller is operably connected with the header and the crop merger to determine if the header is approaching a headland or crop to cut. The controller receives one or more of a merger belt speed provided by a belt speed sensor associated with a crop belt of the crop merger, a maximum crop flow distance, and a merger belt motor pressure provided by a merger belt motor pressure sensor associated with a motor of the crop merger to determine whether to actuate a crop merger actuator to raise or lower the crop merger as the header approaches the headland. The controller receives harvester system inputs that include at least vehicle speed and cutter width of the header to identify the headland.

Abstract: A power management system and method for a work machine that receives real time data, computes current power requirements based on the real time data, computes an optimized engine speed based on the current power requirements and a desired reserve power, and informs an operator of the optimized engine speed. The system can predict upcoming power requirements based on real time and predictive machine data, and compute the optimized engine speed based on the current and upcoming power requirements and the desired reserve power. The system can also receive predictive data, and predict the upcoming power requirements based on the predictive and real time data. Predictive data can include topographical data and/or historical power-consumption data. The system can include an automatic mode where the system automatically adjusts engine speed to the optimized engine speed. The system can maintain a constant machine ground speed as it automatically adjusts engine speed.

Abstract: An agricultural system with an agricultural harvester has a terahertz sensor. The terahertz sensor includes at least one a terahertz source disposed to direct electromagnetic radiation toward a harvest material of the agricultural harvester. A terahertz detector is disposed to detect the terahertz electromagnetic radiation after the terahertz electromagnetic radiation interacts with the harvest material. A controller is operably coupled to the terahertz detector and is configured to detect a harvest-related parameter based on a signal from the terahertz detector and to perform an action based on a detected parameter.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for determining appropriate settings and controlling windrower performance based on the constituents of the target crop. Crop condition and constituents can be identified in the field using sensors in/at the windrower implement, such as constituent sensors and/or imaging sensors. An implement controller can receive sensor data from the sensor array and generate crop condition data indicative of a condition of the target crop. The controller can also generate actuator adjustment data indicative of an adjustment to the roller assembly in the windrower implement to meet a target crop dry-down characteristic. One or more actuators can be used to adjust the roller assembly of the windrower implement based at least on the adjustment data, which can be done automatically or by an operator to the roller systems in the implement.

Abstract: An arrangement for data recording and sampling for an agricultural machine includes a sensor set-up arrangement to detect properties contained in a material stream, means of taking a sample of the material from the material stream, and an electronic control unit. The control unit is configured to perform the following steps in response to a tripping signal: (a) instruct an actuator to bring the means into a position for sampling; (b) starting a recording of raw sensor arrangement data in a memory; (c) after depositing the sample at a desired sampling location, stop recording the raw data and instruct the actuator to return the means from the sampling position to an inactive position; and (d) store identification data to identify the sample together with the raw data in memory.
