Abstract: A computer-controlled method of controlling the speed of an agricultural harvester load that is coupled to an agricultural harvester engine by a power transmitting arrangement having various output speeds. The method includes the steps of electronically receiving a desired new load speed from an operator when the engine is operating at an initial engine speed, and electronically driving the power transmitting arrangement through a sequence of the various output speeds until the actual speed of the agricultural harvester load and the actual speed of the agricultural harvester engine are in the same ratio to each other as the desired new load speed and the initial engine speed.

Abstract: A modular a lower body support device is shown herein. An adjustable frame supports the bodyweight of a user such that the knee of the user rests within a knee frame, the shin of the user rests within a bend frame, and the ankle of the user rests within an ankle frame; a knee pad insert is removably attachable to the frame, and a skid plate insert is removably attachable to the knee pad insert; straps and slots are used to fasten the user to the frame; the user may sit on an integrated seat while kneeling, or may wear the device while ambulatory.

Abstract: A lower body support device is shown herein. The lower leg of the user is positioned such that the knee of the user rests within the area defined by a knee frame, the shin of the user rests within the area defined by a bend frame, and the ankle of the use rests in the region of an ankle frame. A strap bar means connected to the knee frame allows for the securing of a knee pad, such knee pad is user chosen, worn by the user and strapped to the knee frame via the strap bar means. A seat insert is secured to the top of the ankle frame. The user wears one leg support device on each leg. While resting on a surface, the bottom of the knee frame and the bottom of the ankle frame, and possibly the knee pad worn by the user, contact said surface. Preferably, the buttocks of the user rests on the seat insert, which transfers a significant portion of the weight of the user to the surface via the frames. The ankle frame and knee frame greatly limit the possibility of side-to-side motion.
