A control system for a grain harvester. The control system monitors the outp ut of a grain sensor and uses the monitored value to actuate one or more relays having different energization levels. As each relay is actuated it completes a circuit, which is used to modify power that is fed into a control mechanism and which is used to control an operational parameter of the harvester. Depending upon the monitored valu e of the sensor, the control system will modify the power that supplies a control mechanism that is used to control an operational parameter of the harvester, such as the groundspeed. If the output from the sensor is less that a predetermined threshold, the harvester will operate normally. If the output of the sensor is above a first threshold, th e control system will modify the supply voltage. If the output of the sensor is greate r than a second threshold, the control system will modify the supply voltage accordingly, and so forth. If the output of the sensor is greater than a maximum upper threshold , the control system will actuate an alarm so that the operator of the harvester may take corrective action.
