A header () for an agricultural harvester () includes: a frame (); a cutter bar () carried by the frame; a otatable reel () movably coupled to the frame and having a plurality of tines (); a target () associated with the reel such that movement of the reel causes a corresponding movement of the target; and a laser system () including a light emitter directed at the target. The laser system is configured to emit a laser beam at the target and output a distance signal (D) corresponding to a distance of at least one of the target or the reel from the light emitter.
