  • Publication number: 20230058693
    Abstract: An agricultural system for determining crop loss of an agricultural harvester may include a support beam extending along a lateral direction between first and second lateral ends, and one or more impact sensors supported on the support beam. Each of the one or more impact sensors is configured to generate data indicative of a crop impact location of each crop impact of a plurality of crop impacts on the support beam between the first and second lateral ends. Additionally, the agricultural system may include a computing system communicatively coupled to the one or more impact sensors, where the computing system is configured to determine the crop impact location of each crop impact of the plurality of crop impacts on the support beam between the first and second lateral ends based at least in part on the data from the one or more impact sensors.

  • Patent number: 10412896
    Abstract: A system for installing separator grates within a combine may include a grate frame having first and second frame members extending circumferentially between proximal and distal ends. The system may also include a first and second separator grate sections configured to be supported between the frame members along first and second circumferential frame sections of the grate frame, respectively. Additionally, the grate frame may include first and second guide rails extending between the frame members along at least a portion of the first circumferential frame section. When the first separator grate section is being installed from a side of the grate frame located adjacent to the proximal end, at least a portion of the first separator grate section may be configured to ride along the guide rails at a location between the frame member as the first separator grate section is moved towards the distal end of the grate frame.
