Combine unload drive control system

A control system for a combine unload drive system, the control system comprising:

• a grain tank for storing grain;
• at least one auger for unloading grain from the grain tank;
• at least one movable auger cover coupled to the grain tank for controlling the amount of grain to flow into the at least one auger;
• at least one sensor for sensing a force on the unload drive system;
• a controller for:
• (i) receiving at least one force condition from the at least one sensor representing the sensed force on the unload drive system;
• and (ii) causing the at least one movable auger cover to move based on the force condition.

A method for controlling an unload drive system in a combine comprising:

• storing grain in a grain tank;
• unloading grain from the grain tank in at least one auger;
• controlling the amount of grain to flow into the at least one auger with at least one movable auger cover coupled to the grain tank;
• sensing a force on the at least one auger with at least one sensor;
• receiving at least one force condition representing the sensed force on the at least one auger from the at least one sensor;
• and
• causing the at least one movable auger cover to move based on the force condition.
