Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for controlling a state of an auxiliary device(s) of an agricultural machine. A monitoring system can be utilized to determine an operational mode of the agricultural machine, and a configuration monitoring system can be utilized to determine a current state of the auxiliary device(s). The current state of the auxiliary device(s) can be evaluated with respect to a predetermined state of the auxiliary device associated with the operational mode to determine whether the state of the auxiliary device(s) is to be adjusted. In certain instances, one or more feedback signals can indicate that the change in the state of the auxiliary device, and associated change in the profile of the agricultural machine, is to be delayed in response to detection of an obstacle. If the delay satisfies a predetermined threshold number, an operator alert signal can be generated for transmission via an output device.
