There is disclosed a mobile autonomous agricultural system comprising a powered mobile unit for carrying agricultural equipment, and configured to move along rows of crops. The powered mobile unit comprises a chassis extending along a longitudinal axis defining an inner zone to receive the row of crops, and an actuator which is moveable between a fully extended position and a fully retracted position to respectively raise or lower the height of the chassis above the ground. At least one distance sensor is disposed on the powered mobile unit and configured output respective distance signals relating to the distance of objects from the respective distance sensor. A controller is configured to receive the distance signals, and to control extension of each of the actuators to control the height of the powered mobile unit based on the distance signals.
