Abstract: A sugarcane harvester and a method for harvesting a sugarcane crop having cane stalks. The sugarcane harvester includes a base cutter assembly configured to cut the cane stalks at a base and a header. The header includes a crop divider configured to position the cane stalks with respect to the sugarcane harvester, wherein the crop divider is rotatable about a divider rotational axis. A knockdown roller is configured to direct the positioned cane stalks to the base cutter assembly, wherein the knockdown roller is rotatable about a roller rotational axis. An imaging system is configured to provide crop information of the sugarcane crop and a controller is operatively connected to the imaging system. The controller is configured to receive the crop information, wherein the controller transmits one or more control signals in response to the crop information to one or both of the crop divider and the knockdown roller.

Abstract: A control system for a harvester having a primary crop cleaner for cleaning a cut crop, and a secondary cleaner for cleaning the cut crop downstream of the primary crop cleaner. The control system includes a processor, a memory, and a human-machine interface. The processor is configured to receive an input corresponding to a desired cleaning level of the crop, monitor an actual cleaning level, control the primary crop cleaner based at least in part on feedback from monitoring the actual cleaning level and including adjusting a speed of the primary crop cleaner to move the actual cleaning level of the crop during harvester operation towards the desired cleaning level of the crop, monitor an error between the desired cleaning level and the actual cleaning level during control of the primary crop cleaner, and control the secondary crop cleaner based at least in part on the error.
