Abstract

A device (10) for controlling the operation of an agricultural equipment (11). The device (10) is usable in an equipment for cutting plant material, such as grass, shrubs and the like, especially in a mulcher, and it is preferably towable and/or carried by a corresponding transport or trailing means, such as an agricultural tractor (13). In particular, said equipment (11) comprises means (15) for cutting the plant material including a rotor supporting respective organs, or knives, for engaging and cutting the plant material, and respective protection means (12), especially in the form of a respective bonnet, defining an operative chamber for the same cutting means. The device comprises means for detecting one or more parameters, or measurable physical magnitudes, of the equipment, in particular of the equipment under a working or operative condition, and processing means, in particular of the processor type, which are configured so as to implement a corresponding activity starting from the respective signal received by said detection means.
