Harvesting is one of the most critical operations in grain production. Any means to increase the productivity and efficiency of the agricultural combine harvester has immediate benefits for the producer. This paper reports on the development of a control system to automatically and continuously adjust three main parameters, namely feedrate, sieve airflow and cylinder speed. Results of field testing are presented.
