Patent ID: 6871483

Claim:
A control system for an actuator for moving a header relative to a combine including a propulsion handle movable by an operator for controlling movement of the combine, the control system comprising: a first operator input on the propulsion handle; a second operator input on the propulsion handle; a third operator input; and a controller including a processor and a memory for storing information representative of positions of the header, the controller being connected to at least the second input and the third input for receiving input signals therefrom and to the actuator, and the controller being programmed to operate (a) in a manual state to allow an operator to use the first operator input for controlling the actuator to move the header; (b) in an automatic state responsive to an input signal from the second operator input to automatically control the actuator to move the header to a predetermined position and operating mode represented by information stored in the memory; and (c) in a set state responsive to an input signal from the third operator input to store information in the memory representative of a current position and operating mode of the header as the predetermined position and mode.
