Abstract:
A combine harvester having a chopper configured for chopping crop, which comprises a cutting cylinder fitted with chopper knives, a knife carrier fitted with counter knives, and a rasp bar arrangement. The counter knives and/or the rasp bar arrangement can be moved into a partial stream passing by the chopper. The harvester also has a crop spreading device configured for spreading the chopped-material stream emerging from the combine harvester on the ground in the rear region of the combine harvester, and a sensor unit configured for generating sensor data which represent at least one parameter influencing the spreading quality of the chopped-material stream emerging from the combine harvester. There is a control unit that adapts the position of the rasp bar arrangement and/or the counter knives depending on the spreading quality.

Claim (Index 8):
The combine harvester as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the control unit is configured so that, independently of the sensor data from the sensor unit, the control unit moves the counter knives away from the chopping knives and controls the position of the rasp bar arrangement in such a way that the rasp bar arrangement interacts with the partial stream to a reduced extent or not at all when the prioritization parameter is selected in such a way that a prioritization in favor of a minimum energy requirement takes place.
