Abstract
An agricultural harvesting machine includes a harvested crop repository having a fill capacity, a crop processing system configured to engage crop in a field, perform a crop processing operation on the crop, and move the processed crop to the harvested crop repository, a fill level sensor configured to generate a fill level signal indicative of a current fill level of the harvested crop repository, and a control system configured to obtain a machine path definition that represents a machine path for the agricultural harvesting machine, wherein the machine path definition defines a turn pattern and a land size of a land in the field, identify a rendezvous point in the field for the agricultural harvesting machine and a haulage vehicle based on the machine path definition, and generate a control signal based on the rendezvous point.
