s4, after an operator starts the engine through the remote controller, determining the height of the cutting table according to the maturity, the thickness and the dryness and humidity information of the wheat, and adjusting the height of the cutting table through the remote controller and memorizing the height; then switching the working mode to an unmanned state for operation by closing the remote controller; then the tractor enters an unmanned state in the same way and walks along the harvester according to a path planned in advance;
s5, in the walking process, the whole machine control module of the harvester can adjust the harvester in real time according to the working condition of the working device, the speed information can be continuously sent to the tractor through the self-organizing network equipment, and the tractor navigation control module and the whole machine control module of the tractor can adjust the following speed according to the information so as to ensure the stability of cooperative operation and the safety distance in the following period;
s6, when the tractor is used as the grain transporting vehicle, if the grain transporting vehicle is full, another grain transporting vehicle is called to continuously carry out harvest-grain transporting cooperative operation in the same cooperative mode, so that the efficient, safe and continuous operation process is ensured.
