Claim 4:
5. A mower combination, comprising:
an agricultural vehicle;
a plurality of mowing units coupled to the agricultural vehicle and comprising:
a front mowing unit; and
two lateral mowing units located behind and to the sides of the front mowing unit, each of the two lateral mowing units comprising conveyor units configured to deposit cut crop as a swath,
wherein each of the conveyor units is laterally displaceable with respect to a respective lateral mowing unit of the two lateral mowing units;

at least one sensor configured to:
determine an angle of inclination (α) of the mower combination; and
determine a lateral displacement of each conveyor unit with respect to a respective lateral mowing unit of the two lateral mowing units; and

a control unit operably coupled to the at least one sensor and the plurality of mowing units, the control unit comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the control unit to:
receive first data representative of the angle of inclination (α) of the mower combination and second data representative of lateral displacements of each of the conveyors with respect to the associated lateral moving units;
compare the received first data and the second data to a predetermined set of values; and
based at least partially on the comparison, cause the lateral displacement of at least one conveyor unit with respect to the associated lateral mowing unit to be adjusted.
