Abstract:
1. An agricultural working machine, comprising at least one device for picking up crop material and transferring the crop material; at least one intake conveyor mechanism to which the picked up crop material is transferred by the at least one device and which feeds the crop material; at least one downstream working unit to which the crop material is fed and which processes the crop material; at least one drive engine with an engine control unit, which said at least one drive engine drives said at least one intake conveyor mechanism and said at least one working unit; a control and regulating unit for controlling and regulating the engine speed and ground speed so that the agricultural working machine picks up, conveys and processes crop material at a maximum crop throughput by reducing the engine speed and simultaneously increasing the ground speed until the maximum crop material throughput is reached at a drive engine load operating point that is partially below a drive engine full-load operating point.
