A combine side-shaking control system includes a sieve for separating crop material from other materials and a movable side-shaking mechanism coupled to the sieve and configured to move the sieve in a side-to-side motion. The control system also includes also includes first and second grain loss sensors configured to sense amounts of grain loss from separate portions of the sieve. The control system further includes a controller configured to: (i) receive a first grain loss value corresponding to the sensed first amount of grain loss and a second grain loss value corresponding to the sensed second amount of grain loss; and (ii) cause the side-shaking mechanism to control movement of the sieve in the side-to-side motion based on at least one of the received first grain loss value and the received second grain loss value.

An over-center latch for a concave combine comprises a mount directly attached to a concave combine or an accessory for a concave combine, a base plate, a lever with a loop at one end that is configured to attach to a catch, and a center pin that allows the lever to rotate with respect to a handle. Either the handle or the lever can be pulled into a vertical position.

A conveying system for a harvesting machine includes a sprocket with multiple sprocket teeth and a pair of adjacent belts that engage the sprocket teeth and rotate around the sprocket to transport crop material. Positioned between the adjacent belts is a debris clearing device that effectively prevents crop material from entering between the belts and the sprocket teeth. This mitigates the risk of blockages and damage to the system, ensuring smooth and efficient operation of the conveying system in the harvesting machine.
