1. A system for sectional yield measurement across a width of a row independent harvesting head (102), comprising:
a draper frame (106) that extends laterally and generally perpendicular to a direction of travel “V”; a reciprocating knife (112) fixed to a forward edge of the draper frame (106) and extending substantially an entire width of the draper frame (106); a plurality of rollers (122, 126) spaced apart from one another across the width of the draper frame (106), wherein the plurality of rollers rotate about axes that extend generally parallel to the direction of travel “V”; a first endless belt (120, 124) supported on the plurality of rollers (122, 126), wherein the plurality of rollers (122, 126) support the at least a first endless belt (120, 124), and wherein the first endless belt is disposed behind the reciprocating knife (112) to receive cut crop material severed by the reciprocating knife (112); load sensors (300) disposed to sense a cut crop load applied to the plurality of rollers (122, 126) and to generate signals indicative of the cut crop load; and an ECU (204) coupled to the load sensors and configured to receive the signals indicative of the cut crop load and to calculate a sectional yield of the row independent harvesting head (102) based at least upon the signals indicative of the cut crop load. |
