Regulating the flow of a self-propelled forage harvester with anticipatory sensors

Unevenly deposited swaths of green feed can cause an irregular flow in the forage harvester when crop is chopped in windrows. Thus, the energy consumption increases and a degradation of the quality of the chopped material is possible.

The described invention provides a remedy. One component of the invention are anticipatory sensors that detect the thickness or volume of the swath – not only directly on the machine, but also at a greater distance.
