A reel assembly of a header for an agricultural vehicle. The reel assembly includes a pair of reel arms each comprising a first member and a second member pivotally connected to the first member, a reel movably connected to and positioned in between the second members of the reel arms, and a pair of actuators. Each actuator is operably connected in between the first member and the second member of a respective reel arm, the actuators are configured for pivoting the second members relative to the first members such that the reel is pivotable relative to the first members of the reel arms.

Adjustable reel arm

An agricultural vehicle header having a base structure, a header wing section, an articulated joint connecting the header wing section to the base structure, an actuator, a load sensor, and a controller. The actuator is configured to move the header wing section relative to the base structure between a wing lowered position and a wing raised position the load sensor is operatively connected to the header wing section. The controller is configured to acquire load sensor data from the load sensor to evaluate a magnitude of a gravitational load on the header wing section, and prevent the actuator from moving the header wing section towards the wing raised position if the magnitude of the gravitational load exceeds a predetermined threshold load value. An agricultural combine having the header and methods of operating the same are also provided.

Overload detection system for a harvesting head

An attachment system for an agricultural vehicle including a feeder housing and a header. The attachment system includes at least one feeder connecting member configured for being located on and movably connected to the feeder housing, and at least one header connecting member configured for being located on the header. The at least one feeder connecting member is automatically connectable and securable to the at least one header connecting member as the feeder housing lifts the header.

Automatic header latch

A header for an agricultural vehicle including a frame having lateral ends and an automatic lighting system having at least one light connected to the frame and at least one sensor connected to the frame and configured for sensing a level of light and providing a signal indicative of the level of light. The header also includes an electronic control unit operably connected to the at least one light and the at least one sensor. The electronic control unit being configured for automatically operating the at least one light upon receiving the signal of the at least one sensor.
