Method and device to regulate positioning of a crop collecting device in a harvester

摘要

Device for controlling the position of the collection unit of a harvesting machine, especially a combine harvester, has a measurement arrangement (17, 18, 19) for determining the distance of the unit to the ground (39) in at least two different positions relative to the direction of movement (29) of the harvester. The position of the collection unit is adjusted based on the determined distance to the ground. An Independent claim is made for a method for positioning the collection unit of a combine harvester.
