  • Position detectors for steering systems of agricultural header transport systems
    Patent number: 11980125
    Abstract: Systems and apparatuses for detecting an amount of steering articulation of a steering system are disclosed. The systems and apparatuses may be applied to steering systems of agricultural header transport systems. The systems and apparatuses may include a first component moveable with a first steering component and a second component that is movable with a second steering component. The first component and the second component may interact to generate a notification that a selected amount of steering articulation has occurred or is about to occur. The notification may be provided to an operator, such as in the form of a visual, audible, or haptic output.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 25, 2021
    Date of Patent: May 14, 2024
    Assignee: DEERE & COMPANY
