Claim 0:
1. A mower combination comprising:
an agricultural vehicle coupled to a plurality of mowing units suitable for cutting standing crops, the plurality of mowing units comprising a front mowing unit and two lateral mowing units located behind and to the sides of the front mowing unit, each of the lateral mowing units comprising conveyor units configured to deposit cut crop as a swath, each of the conveyor units being laterally displaceable with respect to an associated lateral mowing unit;
a sensor configured to:
provide input signals representative of an angle of inclination (α) of the mower combination; and
provide input signals representative of a lateral displacement of each conveyor unit with respect to an associated lateral mowing unit; and

a control unit configured to:
receive the input signals representative of the angle of inclination (α) of the mower combination and the input signals representative of the lateral displacements of each of the conveyors with respect to the associated lateral moving units;
compare the received input signals representative of the angle of inclination (α) of the mower combination and the input signals representative of the lateral displacements each of the conveyors with respect to the associated lateral moving units 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.
