Abstract
A combine grain loss monitor system includes sensors adjacent the discharge ends of straw walkers and the upper sieve or chaffer of a cleaning shoe. The shoe sensor is carried in an assembly which is easily mounted on and dismounted from the chaffer without the use of tools. The mounting of the straw walker sensor includes a shield which protects the rear edge and underside of the sensor from damage by flying particles of grain and other material. Both mountings include a baffle designed so as to deflect grain onto the sensor working surface without snagging or holding longer pieces of material such as straw and husks.
