Zusammenfassung:A positioning sensor (410) (e.g., GPS) allows a controller (420) to determine the present location and orientation of the harvester (100) on a map and to record the presently and previously harvested portions of a field. The controller (420) uses the map and positional information to determine if the crop residue spray pattern from an adjustable spreader (120) returns substantially all the crop residue to the currently harvest portion and automatically adjusts the adjustable spreader (120) to achieve an ideal residue spray pattern.
