Abstract
A system for controlling an unloading system of an agricultural harvester includes a frame. A crop unloading system includes an unloading tube operably coupled to the frame and a spout operably coupled with the unloading tube. The crop unloading system is configured to discharge harvested crop from the agricultural harvester. A computing system is communicatively coupled to a user interface and the crop unloading system. The computing system is configured to store a predetermined unloading position based on a defined location of the unloading tube and a defined location of the spout received through one or more inputs. When an input is actuated for a minimum threshold, the computing system controls an operation of one or more actuators such that the unloading system is moved relative to the frame from a current position to the predetermined unloading position.
