Abstract
A method for controlling header height comprising generating a signal as an object passes through a row unit; establishing a signal threshold, wherein when the signal threshold is exceeded a shelled ear event is detected; comparing the signal to the signal threshold; and emitting an alarm with the signal exceeds the signal threshold.
Claims20
A method for controlling header height comprising:
- generating a signal as an object passes through a row unit;
- establishing a signal threshold, wherein when the signal threshold is exceeded a shelled ear event is detected;
- comparing the signal to the signal threshold;
- and
- adjusting a header height when the signal exceeds the signal threshold.

A method for controller header height comprising:
- detecting a shelled ear event via:
- measuring stalk data;
- and
- comparing measured stalk data to a defined threshold,
- wherein when the measured stalk data exceeds the defined threshold a shelled ear event is detected;
- and
- lowering a header in response to detected shelled ear events.

A method for controlling a corn header comprising:
- establishing a stalk data threshold, wherein when the stalk data threshold is exceeded a shelled ear event is detected;
- measuring stalk data via one or more sensors;
- comparing measured stalk data to the stalk data threshold;
- recording a start of a shelled ear event when the measured stalk data exceeds the stalk data threshold;
- recording an end of the shelled ear event when the measured stalk data returns to below the stalk data threshold;
- and
- lowering the corn header until the end of the shelled ear event.
