Abstract:
The invention is related to a method for controlling the rotational speed of an engine operating as the power source of a work machine, preferably an agricultural harvester, wherein a change in the load required from the engine during operation of the machine results in the controlled change of the engine speed towards a target value defined by a control curve, wherein the controlled change takes place according to one of a plurality of active control characteristics, depending on the degree of change in the engine speed detected as a direct consequence of the load change. A faster or slower speed change may for example be selected, and/or the target value may be continuously updated. According to a further embodiment, the control curve is referenced to the crop load, being the part of the load related to crop processing. The invention is related also to a machine equipped with a control mechanism configured to implement the method of the invention.

Claim (Index 5):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n the pre-defined control curve comprises at least one portion where the target speed is constant for a range of load values; said change in the load is a change from a first value within said range to a second value within said range; and the active control characteristic is defined by re-setting the speed target value to a value that is higher or lower than the constant target speed when the measured speed is lower or higher respectively compared to the constant target speed.
