V AUTOMATIC CROP SETTINGS
GENERAL
The Automatic Crop Settings (ACS) system allows
the combine operator to select up to three combine
operating modes for each crop. There are two
working modes and one mode that will be selected
automatically when traversing the headland. The two
working modes are easily selected (swapped) during
operation via the Automatic Crop Settings tumbler
switch on the right-hand module. Double-clicking the
resume button on the MFH, to lift the header using
automatic header height, also activates the Headland
mode, adjusting corresponding machine settings.
An example of how these functions can work together
is: Mode 1 is the factory set values, which the
operator has confirmed to work well in standing crop.
However, if losses increase in lodged areas of the
field, the operator can make adjustments and save
them as Mode 2. The operator can then switch the
Automatic Crop Settings tumbler switch to Mode 2
when entering a lodged area and to Mode 1 for
standing crop. In addition the operator could reduce
the fan speed in one of these modes to reduce losses
at the headlands and save this as the Headland
mode. If the operator does not want the combine to
adjust at the headland, he sets the Headland mode
to None and the combine will continue to use the
current mode at the headlands.
Each mode can have one of three types of settings
assigned to it. “Default” which sets all settings to the
factory settings for that crop; “User” which allows the
user to set the parameters; and “None” which will not
change any parameter when a different mode is
selected.
Crops have predefined default factory sets. These
can be changed by the operator to suit every
harvesting condition and saved as user sets. The
default factory settings can be restored if desired.
