I assumed it was to stop the chaff from sitting on the elevator - but perhaps you are more corect. I'm guessing rice may not even have chaff.

Saw the in Cambodia, someone from the family will sit and guard it, on some rural roads they had to push it to one side so you could get past . There most was cut by hand, then threshed through a self propelled threshing drum. have some pictures somewhere if I can fish them out

For the benefit of the non Thai speakers,
The harvester is owned by the guy in the blue t shirt, who is a contractor from Suphan Buri, which is in central Thailand, just NW of Bangkok. In the video they are working near Buri Ram, which I guess is around 3/400 km east of Suphan Buri, they had moved there for the harvest season in that area (around early/mid November I guess) and that was the first paddy, 40 rai, I think.
The contractor ask the the farmers wife, how long they would leave the rice on the road, two days was the reply, he also ask if they ever got any road side rubbish mix in when the rice was bagged up, yes, sometimes the old girl replied, but it would be all cleaned when it went to the rice mill to be dehusked and re bagged.
Typical Thailand

Not sure now, but about 5 years ago, no cab, no bling, just under 2m baht, rising to north of 3m+ with cab and better spec, but today
.Mostly run by contractors who follow the harvest round the country. The central area can get up to 3 harvests per year, but the video was shot, NE Thailand, only one harvest a year is possible.
Those things will work in and go into places Mr JD wouldn’t touch or go any where near for fear of getting stuck fast.
