Zusammenfassung:A sugarcane harvester to cut sugarcane from a sugarcane field including a chopping system. The chopping system includes a first chopper having a plurality of first blades and a second chopper having a plurality of second blades, wherein the first chopper and the second chopper rotate about their respective axes of rotation to cooperatively cut sugarcane stalk into billets. A motor operatively connected to the first chopper and to the second chopper rotates the first chopper and the second chopper. A chopper timing actuator is configured to continuously adjust a time of interference between a first blade of the plurality of first blades with respect to a second blade of the plurality of second blades, wherein the continuous adjustment maintains a time period of the interference between the first blade and the second blade as the first chopper and the second chopper cut the sugarcane stalk into billets.
