An agricultural work machine is provided comprising a surroundings detection device for detecting a surroundings in sections, and one or more controllable working elements, wherein the surroundings detection device generates surroundings detection signals, which can be processed in a control and regulating device assigned to the agricultural work machine, wherein the surroundings detection device is designed as a scanner, which scans the surroundings in scanning planes, and wherein each scanning plane is assigned to the control of working elements.

Surroundings detection device for agricultural work machines

A harvesting system or device formed with an agricultural harvesting machine having a crop transfer device that that swivels about a swivel angle (&#x3c6;) for transferring crop and allows for setting a setpoint swivel angle (&#x3c6;) for discharging the crop, and a hauling vehicle that receives the crop. The crop that is discharged from the agricultural harvesting machine impacts the hauling vehicle at an adjustable impact point. If the deflection of the transfer device deviates from the setpoint swivel angle (&#x3c6;), a return of the transfer device to the setpoint swivel angle (&#x3c6;) is regulated by changing the ground speed (V) of the agricultural harvesting machine, the ground speed (V) of the hauling vehicle or bother while maintaining a position of the impact point substantially unchanged.

Harvesting device

An agricultural working machine embodying a combine harvester for processing crop includes an intake conveyor mechanism for picking up the crop, a moisture content sensor arrangement for measuring a moisture content of the picked-up crop and generating a crop moisture signal based on the measured moisture content. A throughput sensor arrangement, preferably a layer thickness sensor arrangement, determines a throughput quantity of the picked-up crop. The crop moisture content signal is corrected on a basis of the throughput quantity that is determined.

Agricultural working machine

A method for operating a combine harvester configured with a number of working assemblies driven by at least one belt drive, and a ground drive, wherein the at least one belt drive and the ground drive are driven by a main drive comprising an engine, monitors for and accommodates slip. The working assemblies are monitored by sensors with respect to an occurrence of slip in the at least one belt drive. Signals representing slip are transmitted to a control device. The control device is connected to an input/output. The signals representing the slip are evaluated by the control device and the result is weighted. Depending on the weighting of the result, at least one measure is initiated by the control device, which results in a reduction of the slip and the at least one initiated measure is signalled by the input/output unit.

A device for coordinating a first vehicle with a transfer device and a second vehicle with a loading chamber that is filled by the transfer device includes a monitoring device for monitoring the transfer from the first vehicle to the second vehicle and a control unit. The control unit relies on the monitoring device to detect a position of an impact point of a load crop stream discharged from a transfer device of the first vehicle to the second vehicle and, in the event the detected position deviates from a target position, the control device sets the ground-speed differential to be different from zero until the detected position matches the target position.
