Abstract
An agricultural vehicle header system having a center section, an inboard height sensor located on the center section between a lateral centerline and an end of the center section, a wing section movably attached to the end of the center section, a number of outboard height sensors located on the wing section between an inboard end and an outboard end of the wing section, and a header control subsystem. Each of the outboard height sensors is configured to output a respective outboard height sensor signal. The header control subsystem is operatively connected to the outboard height sensors, and configured to receive the respective outboard height sensor signals from each of the outboard height sensors, and generate a single emulated outboard height sensor signal based on the outboard height sensor signals.
