Zusammenfassung: | A system and method for limiting crop loss when harvesting on sloped or rolling ground by adjusting the chaffer and/or sieve, or longitudinal sections thereof, so as to overcompensate for the ground slope so that the chaffer and/or sieve sections are actually inclined away from horizontal opposite the direction of ground slope at a selected angle. Such overcompensation increases crop harvesting efficiencies over systems that simply work to level the chaffer and/or sieve sections, without the high expenses associated with a combine having a pivoting axle. |
