System for setting operating parameters of a harvesting machine
First Claim
1. In a self-propelled harvesting machine for harvesting crops and having one or more machine components with respectively adjustable parameters and taking into account external harvesting conditions;
- the improvement comprising;
a system including means for receiving input about external harvesting conditions for respective particular harvesting applications, storage means for storing at least one machine parameter for different external harvesting conditions, and means for accessing the stored machine parameter from the storage means after the input about the respective external harvesting conditions, wherein said machine parameter is stored while taking into account at least one target standard for the respective harvesting application and is accessed from the storage means to provide a predetermined setting and wherein said at least one target standard includes at least one of a quantity of harvest losses, a quantity of throughput, and a combination of capacity parameters by displacement of characteristic curve.

Abstract
A system is described for setting a self-propelled harvesting machine having several machine components with respectively adjustable parameters wherein setting of these parameters takes into account external harvesting conditions. Means are provided for manually inputting and/or automatically detecting the external harvesting conditions for the particular harvesting application. Furthermore at least one storage means is provided for storing the machine parameters for the respective harvesting application and for different external harvesting conditions. Also, if the occasion arises, the storage means may take into account at least one target standard. The stored machine parameters for setting the harvesting machine can be called up from the storage means after the system knows the respective external harvesting conditions and, if necessary, the respective target standard.
