Abstract
A self-propelled agricultural machine comprises a travel drive, a control element (46), able to be moved by the driver, for controlling the speed of travel of the machine, and at least one work-performing unit (2, 3, 5-13, 24, 27, 28) which, while the machine is travelling, can assume an active state and an inactive state as selected by the driver. The machine is set up to decide whether a movement of the control element (36) which is sensed is a regular control movement or an emergency stop movement, and to change the work-performing unit (2, 3, 5-13, 24, 27, 28) to the inactive state if it is decided that the movement sensed is an emergency stop movement.

Self-propelled agricultural machine having a travel drive, having a control element (46) able to be moved by the driver, for controlling the speed of travel of the machine, and having at least one work-performing unit (2, 3, 5-13, 24, 27, 28, 40, 41, 42) which, while the machine is travelling, can assume an active state and an inactive state as selected by the driver, characterised in that the machine is set up to decide (S3, S4′) whether a movement of the control element (36) which is sensed is a regular control movement or an emergency stop movement, and the work-performing unit (2, 3, 5-13, 24, 27, 28, 40, 41, 42) is changed to the inactive state (S6-S9) if it is decided that the movement sensed is an emergency stop movement.
