Threshing process in combine harvester is described by the random variables as grain moisture content, grain damages and under-threshing losses. An attempt was made to describe the process by stochastic model and to simulate it using Monte Carlo method. Empirical data to the model included following independent variables: feeding rate, threshing drum revolution speed, clearance of working gap. Total grain losses were affected by under-threshing and damage percentage of harvested grain. Measurement results were the basis to making simulation. The paper evaluated an agreement of the course of simulated and empirical variables
