Method for operating an agricultural working machine which can be operated in different operating states, comprising at least one sowing and/or soil working tool , which is coupled to the working machine via at least one frame , at least one pneumatic and/or hydraulic pressure adjustment system, which comprises at least one first actuating element assigned to the sowing and/or soil working tool and is designed to apply or release adjustable pressure to or from the at least one first actuating element , it being possible for the at least one sowing and/or soil working tool to be pressed against agricultural arable soil by means of the at least one first actuating element and on the basis of the adjustable pressure, and at least one open-loop and/or closed-loop control system, which is coupled to the pressure adjusting system, in particular to the at least one first actuating element , and is designed to adapt the adjustable pressure, comprising the steps of: - selecting and/or retrieving an operating state of the agricultural working machine by an operator and/or the open-loop and/or closed-loop control system; characterized by the following steps: - detecting the operating state by means of the open-loop and/or closed-loop control system; it being possible for the working machine to be moved at least partially between a lowered position, in particular a working position, and a raised position, in particular a transport and/or headland position, and the position being detected by the open-loop and/or closed-loop control system and the operating state being selected on the basis of the position, and - adapting the adjustable pressure on the basis of the detected operating state; at least a first pressure, in particular a working pressure, and at least a second pressure, in particular a release pressure, being adjusted by the open-loop and/or closed-loop control system and/or by an operator, and the at least one first pressure, in particular a working pressure, being adjusted for at least one first operating state, and the at least one second pressure, in particular a release pressure, being adjusted for at least one second operating state. - selecting and/or retrieving an operating state of the agricultural working machine by an operator and/or the open-loop and/or closed-loop control system; - detecting the operating state by means of the open-loop and/or closed-loop control system; it being possible for the working machine to be moved at least partially between a lowered position, in particular a working position, and a raised position, in particular a transport and/or headland position, and the position being detected by the open-loop and/or closed-loop control system and the operating state being selected on the basis of the position, and - adapting the adjustable pressure on the basis of the detected operating state; at least a first pressure, in particular a working pressure, and at least a second pressure, in particular a release pressure, being adjusted by the open-loop and/or closed-loop control system and/or by an operator, and the at least one first pressure, in particular a working pressure, being adjusted for at least one first operating state, and the at least one second pressure, in particular a release pressure, being adjusted for at least one second operating state. <EOS>
