Abstract
A cutting system for a combine harvester with a support frame for a cutting table has, on the cutting side, a cutting bar fastened articulatedly to the support frame, flexible transversely to the cutting direction, and adjustable in height with respect to the support frame with axle levers distributed over the width of the cutting system engaging at one end on the cutting bar and at the other end on the support frame. Actuators and the axle levers with the cutting bar are actuated by a controller. The cutting bar has sensors distributed over the width of the cutting system. They record the ground clearance of the cutting bar in front of each axle lever. The sensors are skids on the bottom of the cutting bar measuring the ground contact pressure of the skid or the distance between the skid and the cutting bar.
