Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods include relate to an automatic header latch for an agricultural vehicle. The automatic header latch includes a housing link configured to couple a header to the agricultural vehicle, a channel formed in the housing link, a pin configured to be received through the channel, and a locking assembly coupled to the housing link. The locking assembly includes a rocking bracket, a diverting bracket hingedly coupled to the rocking bracket, and a fastener. The rocking bracket actuates between a loaded and an unloaded position, and is hingedly coupled to the diverting bracket. The fastener secures the rocking bracket in the loaded position, until the rocking bracket is actuated into the unloaded position by movement of the pin relative to the housing link. Following each full-raise actuation of the header, the automatic header latch is configured to alternate between a locked state and an unlocked state.
