ABSTRACT:
A measurement device for detecting agricultural crops located within a conveyor channel. The measurement device includes a light-transmitting panel positioned adjacent to the conveyor channel and is configured to be movable between an operational position and a cleaning position. The measurement device includes a sensor positioned with respect to the light-transmitting panel so as to detect the agricultural crops in the conveyor channel through the light-transmitting panel. A harvesting machine is particularly adapted to utilize the measurement device.
