Description
See how Twin Clean crop-distribution automation changes cross-shake motion on New Holland CR10 and CR11 combines. This workshop demonstration explains actuator and link-arm control, slope and sensor inputs, and independent movement of the grain pan and upper sieve set during real-time field operation.

Topics covered:
• Twin Clean cross-shake • Actuator • Link arm • Upper sieve set • Left/right slope • Shoe-loss sensors • Pressure sensors • Crop distribution • Workshop demonstration • Real-time operation with thresher on • Grain-pan linkage • Independent or combined movement
Common questions covered in this video:
What does the actuator control? It offsets shake of the linked front and rear upper sieves.
Which inputs guide movement? Combine slope, left/right shoe-loss sensors, and cleaning-system pressure sensors.
Can the grain pan move separately? Yes; the system may move the pan, upper sieves, or both.
Is the demonstration occurring during harvest? No, it is shown in the workshop; the presenter says operation occurs in real time with the thresher on in the field.
Timestamped transcript:
0:09 This is the Twin Clean cross-shake system.
0:17 The actuator holds a link arm that offsets upper-sieve shake.
0:20 It acts on the front and rear upper sieves.
0:29 Inputs include left/right combine slope, shoe-loss sensors, and cleaning-system pressure sensors.
0:39 The system compensates for shoe distribution and combine lean.
0:50 This controls material flow to support Twin Clean capacity.
1:03 Extending the actuator demonstrates the mechanism.
1:14 Full extension mimics the right side leaning down.
1:25 It can also push heavier material uphill for distribution control.
1:36 Retraction represents the left side leaning down.
1:59 The process operates in real time with the thresher on; this demonstration is in the workshop.
2:07 The front grain pan has a separate linkage.
2:16 It uses pressure, inclination, and loss-sensor inputs.
2:31 Grain-pan shake can change independently of the upper sieves.
2:37 The system may move either assembly or both together.
2:43 The presenter links this control to Twin Clean capacity on CR10 and CR11 combines.
