Abstract: An agricultural system for determining a header throughput of a harvester includes a header having a frame and an auger assembly supported relative to the frame. The auger assembly includes an auger configured to direct a flow of harvested materials through the header, and an auger support assembly, the auger support assembly having an auger support member configured to support the auger relative to the frame, with the auger being rotatable relative to the auger support member. The agricultural system further includes a sensor associated with the auger assembly, where the sensor is configured to generate data associated with a load-related parameter of the auger support assembly. Additionally, the agricultural system includes a computing system communicatively coupled to the sensor and configured to receive the data generated by the sensor and to determine a header throughput based at least in part on the data.

Abstract: An agricultural system for determining the throughput of a header configured for use with a harvester may include a frame and a material transfer device configured to direct a flow of harvested materials through the header, with the material transfer device being supported relative to the frame. The agricultural system may further include a sensor having a field of view directed toward the flow of harvested materials through the header, with the sensor being configured to generate data indicative of an amount of harvested materials being directed through the header. Additionally, the agricultural system may include a computing system communicatively coupled to the sensor, with the computing system being configured to receive the data generated by the sensor and determine a header throughput based at least in part on the data.
