Abstract
A sugarcane harvester for harvesting sugarcane including a cutting blade to cut sugarcane. The cutting blade is adjustably supported by the sugarcane harvester to cut the sugarcane at a desired height. A radar assembly is coupled to the sugarcane harvester and transmits electromagnetic waves toward a ground surface, wherein reflected electromagnetic waves identify a ground level of the ground surface which is used to adjust a height of the cutting blade with respect to the ground surface. A controller is operatively connected to the radar assembly and to the cutting blade. The controller is adapted to receive the ground level identified by the radar assembly and adjusts a position of the cutting blade with respect to the ground surface based on the identified ground level.
