Abstract

An agricultural vehicle comprises a chassis, a header carried by the chassis, an actuator system including a plurality of actuators linked to a frame of the header and configured to adjust an orientation of the header, a GPS device configured to output a GPS position of the vehicle, and a controller. The header includes a frame and one or more sensors carried by the frame. The controller is electrically coupled to the one or more sensors, the actuator system, and the GPS device. The controller is configured to receive from a memory a final orientation of the header associated with a GPS position at a second location on a last pass that is closest in distance to a GPS position at an upcoming location on the current pass, and activate one or more actuators to re-orient the header before the vehicle arrives at the upcoming location.
