Abstract: In one aspect, a system for visualizing the orientation of a harvesting implement configured for use with an agricultural harvester. The system includes a display device and a computing system communicatively coupled to the display device. The computing system is configured to receive data associated with an orientation of at least one section of the harvesting implement, and cause an implement orientation interface to be presented on the display device. The implement orientation interface includes an implement interface element representing the at least one section of the harvesting implement and at least one curved display indicator positioned relative to the implement interface element, with the at least one curved display indicator providing an indication of the orientation of the at least one section of the harvesting implement.

Abstract: In one aspect, a system for controlling the operation of harvesting implements configured for use with agricultural harvesters includes a harvesting implement configured to be supported relative to an agricultural harvester, and at least one user interface component supported on the harvesting implement. The user interface component(s) is configured to receive input commands associated with controlling an operation of the harvesting implement. The system also includes an implement-based controller supported on the harvesting implement and being communicatively coupled to the user interface element(s) such that the implement-based controller is configured to receive the input commands from the at least one user interface component.

Abstract: A reel assembly of a header for an agricultural vehicle. The reel assembly includes a pair of reel arms each comprising a first member and a second member pivotally connected to the first member, a reel movably connected to and positioned in between the second members of the reel arms, and a pair of actuators. Each actuator is operably connected in between the first member and the second member of a respective reel arm, the actuators are configured for pivoting the second members relative to the first members such that the reel is pivotable relative to the first members of the reel arms.

Abstract: An attachment system for an agricultural vehicle including a feeder housing and a header. The attachment system includes at least one feeder connecting member configured for being located on and movably connected to the feeder housing, and at least one header connecting member configured for being located on the header. The at least one feeder connecting member is automatically connectable and securable to the at least one header connecting member as the feeder housing lifts the header.

Abstract: An agricultural harvester header including a first reel, a second reel adjacent the first reel, and a variable speed reel drive between the first and second reels and operatively connected to at least one of the first reel for rotatably driving the first reel and the second reel for rotatably driving the second reel. The variable speed reel drive can include: a variable speed motor, and a multi-speed gearbox operatively coupled to the variable speed motor and at least one of the reels; a motor, and a continuously variable transmission operatively connected to the motor and at least one of the reels; or a motor, and a planetary gear drive operatively coupled to the motor and at least one of the reels.

Abstract: An attachment system for an agricultural vehicle including a feeder housing and a header. The attachment system includes at least one feeder connecting member configured for being located on and movably connected to the feeder housing, and at least one header connecting member configured for being located on the header. The at least one feeder connecting member is automatically connectable and securable to the at least one header connecting member as the feeder housing lifts the header.

Abstract: A header for an agricultural vehicle including a frame having lateral ends and an automatic lighting system having at least one light connected to the frame and at least one sensor connected to the frame and configured for sensing a level of light and providing a signal indicative of the level of light. The header also includes an electronic control unit operably connected to the at least one light and the at least one sensor. The electronic control unit being configured for automatically operating the at least one light upon receiving the signal of the at least one sensor.
