identifying a route of a breakthrough harvesting pass for a harvester in a field;
generating, by a sensor, sensor data representing operation of the harvester in the field;
identifying one or more route characteristics corresponding to the route based on the sensor data;
generating a determination results indicating whether a path interlock condition is present in the route based on the one or more route characteristics; and
programmatically controlling, by a machine control system, at least one of the harvester or a receiving vehicle based on the determination result.
