摘要

A harvester configured to harvest crops while traveling in a field includes a self-machine position detection module included in a machine body and operable to detect a self-machine position, a detection unit included in the machine body and including detection modules capable of detecting conditions of surrounding of the machine body, a map creation section operable to create, based on the self-machine position, a map indicative of a position of a reaped land in the field where the crops have been reaped and a position of an un-reaped land in the field where the crops have not yet been reaped and an operational mode setting section setting operational modes of the detection modules respectively, based on the map and the self-machine position.
