  • Header Height Control with Tire Flex Compensation
    Publication number: 20130091819
    Abstract: A header height control system (208) includes a header height sensor (108) and a tire compression sensor (212) coupled to an electronic control unit (210). The two signals are combined by the electronic control unit (210) 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 (210) to control the height of the header (104).
