  • Header with multiple row elements
    Patent number: 10694671
    Abstract: An agricultural vehicle with a header including multiple row units each include a feed/snapping unit and a chopping unit. The header further includes a first power transmission shaft for driving the feed/snapping units, and a second power transmission shaft connected via a drivetrain to a drive at the agricultural vehicle. Each chopper unit includes a safety clutch and is connected via the safety clutch to the second power transmission shaft. At least one torque sensor is provided for the second power transmission shaft, drivetrain, or drive, which torque sensor is operationally connected to a torque fluctuation monitor configured to recognize a predetermined change in torque fluctuation indicating a safety clutch slip. The torque fluctuation monitor is operationally connected to a user interface for signaling the safety clutch slip.
