Flipping a coin 2 times is not enough tries to get the chance of it landing on heads because both times it may land on heads or both times it may land on tails leading you to believe that the chance of that happening is either 100% or 0% which is not the case. If you flip the coin enough times it will land on heads 50% of the time. It will work the same with harvesting the crops every time you harvest you have a x% chance of getting an extra box and if you do the math it may not be exactly x% each time but if you keep track of it it will be close to that and will average out to be x% over time. Also the more fields you harvest the more you will see that the extra crops you will get will be close to the x% you should get for that belt. The developers have not set this up to where you will never get an extra box if you are an unlucky person. I think the confusion is in their choice of the word chance from what I have seen with my own harvest you are not really chancing anything you are getting the x% it says you will get. This comes from a person that couldn't win a raffle if there was 100 tickets in the pot and 99 of them had my name on them I wouldn't win.
