    Close-range, microwave radar for automatic control of base-cutter height and other cane harvester operations : SDRC Final report JCU019
    (SRDC, 2002) Woods, GS; Schembri, M
    The harvesting of sugar cane is the first stage in the commercial milling of cane to produce sugar. It is well known that harvesting plays a major role in determining the overall efficiency of the sugar production process. In Australia, where virtually all sugar cane is harvested using mechanical harvesters, efficient operation of the harvester is paramount to good sugar production. One area of harvesting that has been identified as an impediment to improved harvester effectiveness is proper adjustment of the base-cutter height. Improper base-cutter setting during harvesting has a number of serious consequences for sugar production including reduced production, crop damage, additional harvester running costs and inefficient transport and milling of cane through the introduction of dirt.
