Abstract
A combine comprising a separator feeds straw to a discharge assembly. An adjustable straw guide is adjusted by a motor that is controlled by a controller. The controller receives signals from a sensor that senses the transverse distribution of the straw. The adjustable straw guide is positioned between the separator and the discharge assembly. The sensor is arranged to detect the straw upstream of the outlet of the discharge assembly.
