Claim 15:
16. A method of controlling an operation of at least one of a first agricultural machine and a second agricultural machine to be linked to the first agricultural machine, one of the first and second agricultural machines being a work vehicle that is capable of self-driving, and the other of the first and second agricultural machines being an implement to be linked to the work vehicle in use, the method comprising:
detecting a low pressure state in which a tire pressure of one or more tires of the first agricultural machine is lower than a reference range or a high pressure state in which the tire pressure is higher than the reference range; and
causing, in response to detection of the low pressure state or the high pressure state, at least one of the first and second agricultural machines to perform a specific operation that is different from an operation to be performed when the tire pressure is in the reference range; wherein
the implement includes a sprayer to spray a chemical agent over a crop; and
the specific operation includes changing, in response to the detection of the low pressure state or the high pressure state during self-driving of the work vehicle, a position and/or an attitude of the sprayer to prevent the sprayer from coming into contact with the crop.
