Abstract: An agricultural machine for harvesting crop includes a cutting head and a propulsion system configured to provide power to one or more ground engaging mechanisms of the cutting head. The cutting head is configured to harvest crop and conduct harvested crop to a work machine that is configured to process harvested crop. The one or more ground engaging mechanisms of the cutting head are configured to rotate to propel the cutting head along a ground surface when powered by the propulsion system. The propulsion system is configured to be powered by a prime mover, which also powers sub-systems of the agricultural machine that are configured to process the harvested crop.

Abstract: An agricultural machine for harvesting crop includes a cutting head having one or more ground engaging mechanisms and a propulsion system. The one or more ground engaging mechanisms rotate to propel the cutting head along a ground surface, and the propulsion system provides power to the one or more ground engaging mechanisms to drive rotation thereof. A controller is configured to receive one or more first signals and send at least one additional signal based on receipt of the one or more first signals. The at least one additional signal causes or enables action of the cutting head associated with coupling the cutting head to the work machine.

Abstract: A vehicle lighting system configured to alter illumination in response to a detected input may include an agricultural machine including at least one light; and an electronic controller. The electronic controller may include programming instructions to instruct the one or more processors to determine an existence of a relationship of an agricultural machine relative to a location and alter illumination provided by at least one light of the agricultural machine from a first illumination condition to a second illumination condition different from the first illumination condition in response to the determination of the relationship of the agricultural machine relative to the location.

Abstract: A fan control system for a variable pitch fan of a work vehicle includes a blade pitch module that adjust a pitch of a plurality of blades of the variable pitch fan to generate airflow in a first direction. A reversing module selectively commands a fan reversal that includes instructing the blade pitch module to temporarily adjust the pitch of the plurality of blades to generate airflow in a second direction. A first timer module, in response to the reversing module commanding the fan reversal, resets and increments a first timer and compares the first timer to a first threshold. A first reversal prevention module, in response to the first timer being less than the first threshold, prevents the reversing module from commanding a fan reversal by indicating that a first type of fan reversal is not permitted.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing an engine regeneration procedure in a work machine with an internal combustion engine are described. An electronic controller determines, based on information associated with one or more machine sensors and/or machine actuators, whether the work machine is in an idle state (e.g., a storage or non-harvesting state). In response to determining that the work machine is in the idle state, the electronic controller displays a user approval prompt on the display of an operator interface and performs the engine regeneration procedure in response to receiving a user input approving the engine regeneration procedure after displaying the user approval prompt. Conversely, in response to determining that the work machine is not in the idle state, the electronic controller performs the engine regeneration procedure without displaying the user approval prompt and without receiving any user input approving the engine regeneration procedure.
