Abstract
An agricultural harvester includes a frame and a harvesting implement adjustably coupled to the frame. Furthermore, the agricultural harvester includes an arm coupled to the harvesting implement at a first pivot joint and coupled to the frame at a second pivot joint. Additionally, the agricultural harvester includes an actuator coupled between the frame and the harvesting implement, with the actuator configured to adjust a flotation force acting on the harvesting implement. Moreover, the agricultural harvester includes a sensor configured to generate data indicative of a pushing force acting on the harvesting implement and a computing system communicatively coupled to the sensor. In this respect, the computing system is configured to determine the pushing force acting on the harvesting implement based on the data generated by the sensor. In addition, the computing system is configured to control the operation of the actuator based on the determined pushing force.
