Claim:
1. A mobile machine, comprising: a tailings conveying mechanism that conveys tailings in the mobile machine; a controllable mechanism that is controllable to modify an amount of tailings in the tailings conveying mechanism; a sensor sensing a parameter indicative of the amount of tailings in the tailings conveying mechanism and generating a sensor signal indicative of the sensed parameter; and a controller that receives the sensor signal, compares it to an upper threshold for the tailings conveying mechanism and a lower threshold for the tailings conveying mechanism, and, if the signal is outside of a range bound by the upper and lower thresholds, automatically generates a control signal for the controllable mechanism to modify control of the controllable mechanism in order to return the amount of tailings in the tailings conveying mechanism to a level within the range.
