How Accurate Is the ScherGain System for Measuring Grain Loss?

measuring seed with ScherGain

When you check grain loss, you need real numbers, not guesses. Looking at the ground behind the combine or kicking through chaff won’t tell you how many bushels you’re leaving in the field. The ScherGain Drop Pan System does.

Designed by farmers, ScherGain measures grain loss down to fractions of a bushel per acre. That means you can dial in your settings with confidence and know exactly what your machine is leaving behind.

Built for Accuracy You Can Trust

The system is simple:

  1. Drop the pan under the combine.
  2. Collect and clean the sample.
  3. Pour it into the gauge.
  4. Use the supplied chart to read loss per acre.

Every part of the system is calibrated, pan size, gauge markings, and chart values. No guessing, no estimating, no math. Just a clean number you can trust.

If you speed up, change sieve settings, adjust fan speed, or tighten concaves, you’ll see the difference in the next sample. It’s immediate feedback, and it’s accurate.

Why Fractions Matter

A small loss doesn’t look like much in the field, but it adds up fast. Lose just ½ bushel per acre over 1,000 acres, and you’ve left 500 bushels behind. That’s real money.

The ScherGain Drop Pan  shows you the actual loss per acre, so you can decide whether a change is helping, or hurting. Many farmers are shocked the first time they drop the pan and see the real number.

Fast, Safe, and Easy to Use

The ScherGain Drop Pan magnetically mounts safely to almost any combine. No running beside the combine, no throwing pans by hand. Just drop it while operating, collect the sample, measure, and adjust.

Most checks take just a few minutes. That quick snapshot can save thousands of dollars in lost grain.
