Abstract: 1. A vehicle system for controlling operation of a vehicle includes one or more processing circuits configured to set a pre-calibrated value of a steering input device of the vehicle as a center value, the steering input device configured to receive an input from an operator to steer one or more tractive elements of the vehicle, monitor a precheck condition regarding an operational characteristic of the vehicle associated with a straight-line travel of the vehicle, control, in response to the precheck condition not being satisfied for a threshold time, an operation of the vehicle, and update, in response to the precheck condition being satisfied for the threshold time, the center value to be a current steering position value of the steering input device.

Abstract: Float performance of a header is enhanced by using tilt position and/or lift position changes of the header to automatically adjust ground reaction force when operating conditions require a change in tilt and/or lift position of the header, such as for cutting certain crops, cutting in certain conditions, or to maintain a mechanical advantage. Using an equation to relate the changing down force with the tilt and/or lift positions, the floatation setting of the header is changed to maintain a constant ground reaction force. The adaptive floatation avoids the need for the operator to exit the vehicle to check and, if necessary, adjust the floatation force after each tilt and/or lift adjustment.

Abstract: A combine including a feeder housing for receiving harvested crop, a separating system for threshing the harvested crop to produce grain and residue, a residue spreader wheel spinning at a speed for expelling the residue from the combine, a residue deflector positioned at an angle for deflecting the expelled residue in a predetermined direction, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a heading of the combine, determine wind effects on the expelled residue based on an observation of the expelled residue at the determined heading, and adjust at least one of the speed of the residue spreader wheel or the angle of the residue deflector based on the wind effects to achieve a desired residue spread at the determined heading.
