LATERAL COMPENSATION METHOD APPLIED TO AGRICULTURAL MACHINES AND AGRICULTURAL MACHINE

The present invention relates to a new method for effecting immediate lateral compensation in agricultural machines of the harvester type, which are in particular provided with sets of mats as traction means. The present method comprises steps that are designed to achieve a substantial simplification in terms of operatives' behaviour and at the same time to ensure efficient control of the tractionunit, with a view to preventing skidding that may adversely affect the quality of the harvest. More specifically, the present lateral compensation method comprises the steps of verifying the requestfor an increase or reduction in compensation; confirming actuation; sending reference signals to the control unit of the machine with the aim of increasing or reducing compensation and waiting for a period of time Deltat1 before returning to the initial step for further checking. The present invention also relates to an agricultural machine of the harvester type. 本发明涉及一种新方法，所述方法用于执行收割机类型的农业机械的立即侧向补偿，所述农业机械特别地设有履带组作为牵引装置。本方
