ABSTRACT:
A system for the lateral guidance of agricultural machines, especially harvesting machines to be guided along a line determined by a crop row or a stand of crop along a previously cut swath, has a deflectible sensor for feeling the position of the crop along the guide line and means for automatically steering the vehicle to maintain the latter along a predetermined path established by this line. The improvement of the invention comprises a deflector fixed rearwardly of the sensor to prevent excessive displacement thereof by individual stalks which may be out-of-place and thereby preclude an excessive response of the automatic steering system because of occasional out-of-place stalks.
