A system is provided that can include a 3D sensor. The 3D sensor can be configured to detect an area of an elevator on a harvester. The 3D sensor can further be configured to transmit a first signal associated with the area. The system can also include a processing device in communication with the 3D sensor. The system can further include a memory device in which instructions executable by the processing device are stored for causing the processing device to receive the first signal and determine a volume of a material on the elevator based on the first signal.

Yield measurement and base cutter height control systems for a harvester

A sugarcane harvester may include a chassis with various discreet and laterally separated mounting locations. Crop divider support modules may be configured to separately and fixedly attach to the chassis at various of the mounting locations, in order to support respective crop dividers in a variety of discreet and laterally separated orientations.

A method and control system are disclosed for monitoring operating modes of a harvester. A harvester may include one or more harvesting devices driven by one or more hydraulic circuits. A lower pressure limit and a current operating pressure may be determined for a hydraulic circuit of a harvesting device. The determined pressure limit and operating pressure may be compared, and a current operating mode for the harvester identified accordingly. The operating mode may include at least one of a waiting mode, a transport mode, a maneuvering mode, and a harvesting mode.

Row width adjusting support modules for sugarcane harvesters

A chopper drum module and sugarcane harvester vehicle include a module frame distinct from a chassis of the sugarcane harvester having first and second drum bores on each side of the module. The first and second drum bores support, respectively, first and second chopper drums for parallel rotation. A plurality of mounting devices may be attached to the module frame or the chassis, wherein when the mounting devices are in an engaged state the module frame is secured to the chassis by the mounting devices such that the chopper drums receive sugarcane from a feed mechanism supported by the chassis. When the mounting devices are in a disengaged state, the module frame and the chopper drums may be collectively removable from the chassis and the sugarcane harvester.
