Sensing assembly for detection of one or more plants

摘要

A sensing assembly for a header (16) for harvesting a crop comprises a forward point (102) for mounting on a crop divider (56) associated with the header (16); at least one movable arm (64) for interacting with one or more plants standing in a field; a sensor (66) for detecting a position of the movable arm (64); and a mounting assembly (72) for operably supporting the movable arm (64) and the forward point (102); where a rear portion of the forward point (102) is spaced apart from a forward edge of the crop divider (56) and the at least one movable arm (64) is located above a bottom portion of the forward point (102) when the mounting assembly (72) is secured to the crop divider (56).
