Abstract
An agricultural harvester includes a straw hood having a hollow interior space for receiving material other than grain (MOG) from a threshing and separating system of the harvester and chaff from a sieve of a cleaning system of the harvester. A weed seed mill is mounted to the straw hood. An access door is moveably mounted to the straw hood between a lowered operational position and a raised service position. In the lowered operational position, the access door is positioned to direct the stream of chaff either into or towards the inlet of the weed seed mill. In the raised service position, a user-accessible passageway is formed from an exterior of the agricultural harvester to the sieve such that a user can access the sieve from an exterior of the harvester.
