Abstract: A stalk sensing system, comprising a bracket, sensor shell configured to be mounted to the bracket, a sensor configured for insertion into the sensor shell, a wand configured to be mounted to the sensor shell, and one or more anti-rotation features. The harvester and stalk sensing system may also into one or more board holding features and, optionally, a crop divertor(s).

Abstract: A stalk sensor comprising a first wand comprising a contact surface at a distal end, a first magnet disposed at a distal end of the first wand, a second wand comprising a contact surface at a distal end, and a second magnet disposed at a distal end of the second wand, the magnet configured to attract the first magnet and thereby the first wand into contact with the second wand at the contact surfaces with the second wand, wherein the first contact surface and the second contact surface are in contact when the stalk sensor is in a home position. The stalk sensor wherein the wands are self-aligning on horizontal and vertical axes.

Abstract: A fixing assembly for fixing a revolving shoe of a rolling member guide to a supporting element, including an eccentric assembly having a cylindrical bore in a revolving shoe, a cylindrical pin fixed on the one hand in a bore of the supporting element and accommodated on the other hand in a cylindrical pin bore arranged eccentrically relative to the cylindrical outer face of the eccentric bush, the revolving shoe 2 being adjustable relative to the running tracks of the guiding rail via a collar provided with an outer hexagon so as to permit adjustment of play by displacement, additionally, the cylindrical bolt has a threaded extension onto which a nut may be screwed, a securing plate fixed the position of the eccentric bush and the nut, and a fixing pin assembly with a cone is provided which engages a corresponding conical bore of the supporting element.
