ABSTRACT:
A grain measuring and weighing device including an entrance chamber, a constant volume chamber, and a weigh chamber. A plurality of gates controllably move between open and closed positions to allow a known volume of grain to flow between chambers. The weighing and measuring system includes a means for compensating and eliminating forces external to the grain harvester, such as the various forces due to sloping surfaces and rough terrain over which the grain harvester moves, that would otherwise adversely affect the grain yield data. In one embodiment, an accelerometer is use to measure such external forces. In another embodiment, a reference weight is used to measure the external forces.
