Abstract
A self-propelled agricultural working machine comprising: a drive module with a load-bearing chassis; agricultural implements for performing an agricultural operation; an electronic control unit for controlling the ground-engaging member; and an operator station with an operator interface, the operator station configured to be removably attached to the load-bearing chassis.
Claims19
A self-propelled agricultural working machine comprising:
- a drive module with a load-bearing chassis which is supported on the ground by ground-engaging member;
- agricultural implements for performing an agricultural operation and which are couplable to the load-bearing chassis;
- an electronic control unit for controlling the ground-engaging member by at least one of automatic control and remote control;
- and
- an operator station with an operator interface, the operator station configured to be removably attached to the load-bearing chassis such that the operating station may be attached and manned by an operator for road use or removed for unmanned use during an agricultural operation with the drive module configured to be operated by at least one of automatic control and by remote control in order to reduce the ground compaction.
A method for performing an agricultural operation with a self-propelled agricultural working machine, the method comprising:
- providing a drive module with a load-bearing chassis which is supported on the ground by ground-engaging member;
- providing agricultural implements for performing an agricultural operation and which are couplable to the load-bearing chassis;
- providing an electronic control unit for controlling the ground-engaging member by at least one of automatic control and remote control;
- providing an operator station with an operator interface, the operator station configured to be removably attached to the load-bearing chassis;
- operating the agricultural working machine with the operating station in road use, the operator station attached and manned by an operator;
- and
- operating the agricultural working machine with the operator station removed for unmanned use during an agricultural operation.
