An agricultural work machine, such as a harvester, is disclosed. The agricultural work machine includes an internal combustion engine, at least one working assembly, and a regulating device. The internal combustion engine provides power to the working assembly, with the internal combustion engine being operated in different power settings, with a different performance characteristic in each of the different power settings. The regulating device causes automatic shifting of the internal combustion engine from one power setting to another in response to determining that the power requirements assigned to the working assembly change. The power settings may be assigned to different, pre-selectable power setting ranges, which may differ in terms of the highest respective power setting assigned thereto. Further, the regulating device may only cause shifting of the internal combustion engine between power settings in the respective pre-selected power setting range.

Agricultural work machine and method for operating an agricultural work machine

Plant material for ensilage is harvested using at least one harvesting vehicle in the field, is hauled to a silo and is compressed using a compression device. The compression output of the compression device is compared to the harvesting output of the at least one harvesting vehicle, and a command to increase the harvesting output or to decrease the harvesting output of the harvesting vehicle () to a non-vanishing value is generated when the harvesting output deviates significantly from the compression output.

Method and system for harvesting and ensilage of feed material

A monitoring device for at least one auxiliary assembly which influences the exhaust-gas quality of an internal combustion engine and consumes a resource in order to attain a desired quality of exhaust gas, includes at least one sensor for measuring a variable related to the resource, and an arithmetic unit for estimating the current quantity of the resource on the basis of the variable measured by the at least one sensor, and which is designed to calculate and indicate an operating capacity of the internal combustion engine that remains before the resource is depleted. Potential resources are the absorbance capacity of a particulate filter and/or the quantity of an ammonifier that is available.

Monitoring device for an internal combustion engine

A method of operation for an internal combustion engine () whose output power can be controlled by means of a controlling parameter (T), in which an engine characteristic curve () which, at a value of the controlling parameter (T) which corresponds to a maximum output power, specifies the output power (P) as a function of the engine's speed of revolution (&#x3c9;), has an ascending part () at low speeds of revolution and a descending part () at high speeds of revolution, is characterized in that if, when the engine () is operating, the speed of revolution (&#x3c9;) exceeds a first upper limiting value (&#x3c9;) at the value of the controlling parameter which corresponds to the maximum output power, a first value (T(&#x3c9;)) of the controlling parameter (T) is set which corresponds to a reduced output power.

A agricultural working machine includes at least one device for picking up crop material and transferring it to at least one intake conveyor mechanism that feeds the crop material to at least one downstream working unit that processes the crop material, and at least one drive engine with an engine control unit, the drive engine driving the at least one intake conveyor mechanism and the at least one working unit. At maximum crop-material throughput, the engine speed of the agricultural working machine is reduced and the ground speed is increased, and therefore the associated agricultural working machine it is ensured that the agricultural harvesting machine is able to process high crop-material throughputs with a lower specific energy requirement.

Agricultural working machine with ground speed control

For operating a self propelling harvester provided with a cutterbar and a chopping and distributing device located in a discharge region and supplying a crop stream to at least one ejecting blower, a discharge direction of the crop stream from the ejecting blower is adjusted by a breaking edge which is longitudinally displaceable by a drive, wherein the drive for adjusting the at least one breaking edge is regulated depending on the working width of the cutterbar and/or depending on the distribution of the crop stream on the ground, to adapt the scattering width automatically to the working width of the cutterbar and to distribute in a uniform layer density on the ground.

Chopping and distributing device

The invention concerns a method and an apparatus for ejecting a material, in particular a straw material, having a pivot unit comprising an impeller blower, a cooperating fluid cylinder, with a control unit comprising at least one directional control valve for control of the fluid cylinder so that at least one ejection nozzle of the impeller blower can be pivoted reciprocally. The control unit further comprises a pressure control valve. An electrical control device is provided, which acts on the pressure control valve and/or the directional control valve in such a way that a piston of the fluid cylinder essentially performs a harmonic reciprocating movement.
