Abstract
An apparatus for automatic adjustment of a transfer device on an agricultural harvesting machine includes a sensor for determining the current position of the transfer device; means for adjustment of the transfer device; a navigation device located in the harvesting machine for determination of a first and a second navigated position in a field; and an electronic analyzer wherein the electronic analyzer automatically adjusts the transfer device through the means for adjustment as a function of the current position of the transfer device and the first and second navigated positions of the harvesting machine.
Claims24
An apparatus for automatic adjustment of a transfer device on a self-propelled agricultural harvesting machine, which controls the transfer of harvested crop from the harvesting machine to a transport vehicle, including:
- at least one sensor for determining the current position of the transfer device;
- means for adjustment of the transfer device;
- at least one navigation device located in the harvesting machine for determining a first and at least a second navigated position of the harvesting machine in a field;
- and
- an electronic analyzer wherein the electronic analyzer automatically adjusts the transfer device via the means for adjustment and as a function of the current position of the transfer device and the first and second navigated positions of the harvesting machine.
