ABSTRACT:
A crop harvesting header for use with a work vehicle includes a shaft extending substantially transverse to a direction of travel of the header, the shaft rotates about its axis in response to a portion of a member contacting a first arm when the header is in the first operating mode. The shaft does not rotate about the shaft axis when the header is in a second operating mode. A second arm rotates about the shaft in response to ground undulations when the header is in the second operating mode. A sensor, operatively connected to the second arm and to a controller, senses when the second arm is located at a predetermined position when the header is in the second operating mode. The sensor communicates with the controller to effect movement of the header with respect to the ground when the header is in the second operating mode.
