1. An agricultural system, comprising:
a header comprising a plurality of sections, wherein each section of the plurality of sections comprises a respective portion of a cutter bar assembly that is configured to cut crops in a field;
at least one actuator configured to move at least one section of the plurality of sections along a vertical axis relative to at least one other section of the plurality of sections; and
a controller configured to:
receive a first input indicative of a set profile of the header, wherein the set profile comprises a target position of the header for a non-harvesting mode, and the target position defines a respective relative orientation of each section of the plurality of sections;
store the set profile of the header;
receive a second input indicative of a selection of the non-harvesting mode;
output a first signal to instruct the agricultural system to operate in the non-harvesting mode in response to receiving the second input; and
output a second signal to instruct the at least one actuator to move the at least one section of the plurality of sections along the vertical axis relative to the at least one other section of the plurality of sections to set a current position of the header based on the set profile in response to receiving the second input.
