Abstract: A method for field processing includes mowing, via a mowing machine having at least one mower, a crop within a processing area so as to provide a mown crop. At least one mowing parameter is determined for each position of a plurality of positions within the processing area. The at least one mowing parameter has a mower parameter which relates to the at least one mower and which is associated with an area density of the crop. The mown crop is processed via a cropmaking machine which has at least one processing device. At least one cropmaking parameter which characterizes an operation of the cropmaking machine is set as a function of a position of the cropmaking machine.

Abstract: A haymaking machine for tedding or raking agricultural stalk or leaf material includes a tedding or raking rotor arranged on a machine beam. The tedding or raking rotor is rotated about a vertical axis when working/operating. The tedding or raking rotor includes two tine arms aligned approximately radially which are uniformly distributed in a circumferential direction about the vertical axis, a first spring tine having a first length arranged on the two tine arms, a second spring tine having a second length arranged on the at least two tine arms, a first measuring device which interacts with the first spring tine, and a second measuring device which interacts with the second spring tine. The second length is smaller than the first length. The first measuring device measures a force acting on the first spring tine. The second measuring device measures a force acting on the second spring tine.

Abstract: A haymaking machine includes a frame, a turning or raking rotor and a sensor arranged on the frame, and a control device. In a working position, the turning or raking rotor is drivable relative to the frame about an axis of rotation in a direction of rotation. The turning or raking rotor has tine arms which have tines. The tine arms are aligned at least temporarily to face the ground. The tine arms are arranged uniformly distributed in a circumferential direction around the axis of rotation and are aligned in an approximately radial direction with respect to the axis of rotation. The sensor continuously detects a passing of the tine arms during an operation of the turning or raking rotor and transmits a measurement signal thereof. The control device receives the measurement signal and infers an operating state of the at least one turning or raking rotor based thereon.
