Abstract
A header height control system () includes a header height sensor () and a tire compression sensor () coupled to an electronic control unit (). The two signals are combined by the electronic control unit () to derive a compensated header height signal that compensates for the transient flexure of the pneumatic tires of the vehicle. This compensated header height signal is then used in a header height control algorithm executed by the electronic control unit () to control the height of the header ().
