Mower combination with location based conveyor control

A method of operating a mower combination, having an agricultural vehicle and a plurality of mowing units connected to the agricultural vehicle, the plurality of mowing units comprising a front mowing unit and two lateral mowing units located behind and to the sides of the front mowing unit, each one of the lateral mowing units being provided with a conveyor unit to deposit cut crop as a swath, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a control unit of the mower combination and from a remote device, operation data representing at least one desired track line and at least one desired swath pattern comprising desired displacements of the conveyor units of the two lateral mowing units along the desired track line;
• directing the mower combination at least substantially along the desired track line;
• receiving at least one of GPS data, speed data, or direction data of the mower combination;
• based on at least one of the GPS data, the speed data, or the direction data, determining a current position of the mower combination along the desired track line;
• receiving, at the control unit and from one or more sensors, displacement data of at least one conveyor of the two lateral mowing units representing a current lateral displacement of the at least one conveyor relative to the desired track line and directional data of the at least one conveyor of the two lateral mowing units representing a current direction of operation of the at least one conveyor;
• and
• based at least partially on the determined current position of the mower combination, the displacement data of at least one conveyor, and the directional data of the at least one conveyor, adjusting at least one of the current lateral displacement or the current direction of operation of the at least one conveyor to achieve the desired swath pattern.
