Abstract
An agricultural system includes a frame, a cutter bar assembly configured to move relative to the frame during an operation of the agricultural system, a reel assembly configured to guide crops to the cutter bar assembly during the operation of the agricultural system, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive feedback indicative of a profile of the cutter bar assembly, set a position boundary of the reel assembly based on the feedback, and block movement of the reel assembly to a position beyond the position boundary of the reel assembly.
