Abstract
An agricultural harvesting machine includes a harvested crop repository and 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, the crop processing system including a transfer mechanism configured to transfer the processed crop to a support machine. The agricultural harvesting machine includes a control system configured to identify a turn to be performed by the agricultural harvesting machine in the field, determine a harvesting machine turn path for the agricultural harvesting machine to perform the turn on the field, generate a support machine turn path based on the harvesting machine turn path, and communicate an indication of the support machine turn path to a communication device associated with the support machine.
