A combine feeding system (300) includes a lower conveyor roller (206) configured to rotate around a lower conveyor roller axis (207), an upper conveyor roller (310) configured to rotate around an upper conveyor roller axis (210) and a drive shaft (204) configured to rotate around a drive shaft axis (205). The lower conveyor roller axis (207), upper conveyor roller axis (210) and drive shaft axis (205) are substantially perpendicular to first and second housing walls (214, 215). The feeding system (300) also includes at least one chain (202, 203) configured to move over the drive shaft (204), the lower conveyor roller (206) and the upper conveyor roller (310). The feeding system further includes at least one lower support arm (208, 209) coupled to the drive shaft (204) and the lower conveyor roller (206) and configured to pivot about the drive shaft axis (205). At least one force mechanism (312, 313) is configured to apply a force to the at least one chain (202, 203) in at least one of a first direction (327a) and a second direction (327b).
