The present invention relates to a ground milling machine, particularly a road milling machine, comprising a machine frame supported by travelling devices, a drive engine and a milling device arranged in a milling drum box, the milling drum box comprising a stripping plate which is height-adjustable by means of at least a first and a second actuator. Further, the present invention relates to a method for adjusting a stripping plate of a milling drum box of a ground milling machine, particularly a road milling machine. For the purpose of a reliable adjustment of the stripping plate, the present invention proposes using a monitoring device for detecting the adjustment of a first actuator and a control device for controlling the adjustment of a second actuator depending on the adjustment of the first actuator.
