Determine crop being cut, bushels per acre, area of the tray, header width, and discharge width. 2. When combine is harvesting a consistent amount of crop, wait for the header to pass by and then throw a tray underneath the combine, between the wheels. 3. Once the combine has passed over the tray and moved a safe distance away, collect the tray. If the straw has been windrowed, gently shake any straw that has accumulated on top of the tray to separate any seeds.

Luxemburg Implement 

DeterminingMachineLosses1. Determine crop being cut, bushels per acre, area of the tray, header width, and discharge width. 

2. When combine is harvesting a consistent amount of crop, wait for the header to pass by and 

then throw a tray underneath the combine, between the wheels. 

3. Once the combine has passed over the tray and moved a safe distance away, collect the tray. If 

the straw has been windrowed, gently shake any straw that has accumulated on top of the tray 

to separate any seeds. Remove any large pieces of residue from the tray, making sure they do 

not contain seeds that have not been separated or threshed. 

4. Sort the residue left on the tray using sieves A, F, W, and E. 

a. Anything left on top of sieve A is trash. 

b. Acceptable sized seeds will be on sieve F. 

c. Any seeds on sieve W are considered undersized and trash. 

d. Anything on E is considered trash. 

5. Collect all seeds left on sieve F and sort out the good ones, using the USDA visual guide as a 

reference. 

6. Count and record all good seeds. 

7. Determine loss using the following equations. 

 = Tray Area = .

 = Bushel Loss per Acre 

 = Kernels per square foot to equal 1 bushel per acre =  20
