Apparatus and method providing a ground following capability for an unloading ramp on a receiver of a cotton harvester. At least one fluid cylinder is provided including at least one rod extendible for moving the ramp downwardly to an unloading position and retractable for raising the ramp. A valve apparatus is connected between a source of pressurized fluid and the at least one cylinder and is controllably operable by a control for directing pressurized fluid to the at least one cylinder for extending the at least one rod for moving the ramp to the unloading position. The valve apparatus is automatically operable responsive to exertion of a force against at least one of the rods in a direction for retracting the rod, for directing pressurized fluid from the at least one cylinder to allow the rod to be retracted by the force to thereby raise the ramp.

A harvester includes a crop receiver configured to receive agricultural material. The crop receiver includes a lid to cover a portion of the crop receiver. The harvester also includes a frame assembly coupled to the lid of the crop receiver. The harvester includes an actuator coupled to the frame assembly and configured to be controlled to adjust a vertical height of the lid. The harvester also includes a sensor coupled to the frame assembly and configured to indicate whether the lid is positioned at a first vertical height or a second vertical height. The harvester includes control circuitry coupled to the sensor and configured to instruct the actuator to move the lid of the crop receiver between the first vertical height and the second vertical height based at least partly on an indication from the sensor.
