Abstract
A method and system for measuring a working height, such as an absolute working height, of a plurality of agricultural attachments using a sensor assembly is disclosed. The sensor assembly includes a sensor and at least one sensor holder. The sensor holder is mounted at mounting positions onto different attachments, with the sensor being reversibly mounted in the sensor holder at the mounting position. The sensor, in a mounted state, records measured data relating to a working height of the agricultural attachment and transmits the measured data to the control assembly. In turn, the control assembly determines the working height of the particular attachment from a calibration data set specific to the mounting position.
