Abstract
A computer-implemented method for automatically controlling a speed of an agricultural header operably connected to an agricultural machine may include determining whether a current gear setting of a transmission configured to drive the agricultural header is appropriate for an operating condition of the agricultural header; determining a load condition on the agricultural header; determining whether the load condition is an acceptable load condition; and changing a gear setting of the transmission based on the current gear setting being outside of an appropriate operating range and based on the load condition being the acceptable load condition.
