: Feeding rates serve as a vital indicator for adjusting the working parameters of the combine harvester. A non-invasive diagnostic approach to predicting the feed rates of combine harvesters by collecting vibration signals of the inclined conveyor was introduced in this study. To establish a feed rate prediction model, the correlation between feeding rates and vibration signal characteristics was investigated. Vibration signal characteristics in both the time domain and frequency domain were also analyzed in detail. The RMS (root mean square) value and the total RMS value of the one-third octave extracted from the vibration signal were utilized to establish a feed rate prediction model, and field tests were conducted to verify the model performance. The experimental results indicated that the relative errors of the established model range from 3.1% to 4.9% when harvesting rice. With the developed feed rate prediction system, the control system of the combine harvester can acquire feed rate information in real time, and the working parameters can be adjusted in advance, thereby, it can be expected to greatly enhance the working performance of the combine harvesters.
