Abstract
A deck plate control system for an agricultural harvester includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The controller is configured to identify termination of a row unit cleaning process. In addition, the controller is configured to control a deck plate actuator to transition a pair of deck plates of a row unit to an operational spacing in response to identifying termination of the row unit cleaning process.

A deck plate control system for an agricultural harvester, comprising:
- a controller comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the controller is configured to:
- identify termination of a row unit cleaning process;
- and
- control a deck plate actuator to transition a pair of deck plates of a row unit to an operational spacing in response to identifying termination of the row unit cleaning process.
A method for controlling a spacing between a pair of deck plates of a row unit of an agricultural harvester, comprising:
- identifying, via a controller comprising a memory and a processor, termination of a row unit cleaning process;
- and
- controlling, via the controller, a deck plate actuator to transition the pair of deck plates to an operational spacing in response to identifying termination of the row unit cleaning process.
A deck plate control system for an agricultural harvester, comprising:
- a deck plate actuator configured to control spacing between a pair of deck plates of a row unit of the agricultural harvester;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the deck plate actuator, wherein the controller is configured to:
- identify termination of a row unit cleaning process;
- and
- control the deck plate actuator to transition the pair of deck plates to an operational spacing in response to identifying termination of the row unit cleaning process.
