Abstract
A rigid height control system configured to be coupled to a header includes a rigid arm pivotally coupled to a shaft. The rigid arm includes an upper end and a lower end, wherein the lower end is configured to engage a ground surface. The rigid height control system includes a metal channel guide coupled to the shaft and a magnet embedded within the rigid arm adjacent the upper end. The magnet is configured to keep the rigid arm attached to the metal channel guide via a magnetic force so that the lower end engages the ground surface when the agricultural harvester travels in a forward direction. The magnet is configured, when the agricultural harvester travels in a reverse direction causing a force exerted by the ground surface on the rigid arm to exceed the magnetic force, to allow a release of the rigid arm from the metal channel guide.
