The article deals with the problem of grain injury by the transporting bodies and the harvester’s final threshing device. The assessment of the most characteristic operations causing micro- and macro trauma of grain is given. The most rational design parameters of machines and modes of their operation, which guarantee minimal injury to seeds, have been identified. Possible ways to reduce injury by reducing intense impacts, increasing the length of the separating surfaces for cleaning a combine harvester, and reducing the output of grain into the auger are identified.
