    Why are my Harvest TEC 600 moisture readings erratic?

      Nancy JamesAug 9, 2025
      Erratic moisture readings on your Harvest TEC Accessories can stem from a couple of issues: * Applying dielectric grease to all connections might help. * Fluctuating power supply at the tractor. The voltage should consistently remain between 12V and 14V. To fix it install voltage surge protection on the tractor's alternator.

      Erratic moisture readings in your Harvest TEC accessories can stem from several causes. First, test bales with a hand tester to verify that the DCP has more variation than the hand tester. Also, check all wiring connections for corrosion or poor contact and apply dielectric grease to all connections. Finally, ensure the power supply at the tractor provides a constant voltage between 12 and 14 volts; if not, install voltage surge protection on the tractor's alternator.

    What to do if Harvest TEC 600 Accessories moisture reading errors (high or low)?

      Daniel OliverAug 19, 2025
      If you're experiencing moisture reading errors (high or low) with your Harvest TEC accessories, consider the following potential causes and solutions: Ensure the wire is properly connected between the star wheels and DCP, reconnecting if necessary. Check the voltage at the box, ensuring it meets the minimum requirement of 12 volts. Be aware that the system is designed to read moisture levels between 8-70%. Verify that there is no ground contact with one or both star wheels and the baler-mounted processor, and reconnect if needed. Inspect the wire between the star wheels and DCP for any shorts, replacing the wire if a short is found. If problems persist, contact Harvest Tec.

      Jack WhiteAug 25, 2025
      If your terminal reads under or over power for Harvest TEC Accessories, use a multimeter to verify the actual voltage, ensuring it falls within the 12-14 volts range. Clean the connections and ensure the applicator is properly connected to the battery.

    How to fix Harvest TEC 600 Accessories when bale rate displays zero?
    • J
      Jordan MartinAug 29, 2025
      If the bale rate displays zero on your Harvest TEC Accessories, there are several possible causes to investigate. First, the bale rate sensors might be reversed; in this case, switch the sensors next to the star wheel. A short in the cable could also be the culprit, requiring you to replace the cable. Another possibility is a damaged sensor, which would also necessitate replacement. Lastly, the sensor might be too far from the starwheel; adjust the gap between the proximity sensor and the star wheel to be 1/8-1/4” away.

    What to do if Harvest TEC Accessories moisture readings are too high or too low?
    • C
      Christopher HowellNov 3, 2025
      If you're experiencing moisture reading errors (either high or low) with your Harvest TEC Accessories, several factors could be responsible: * A disconnected or poorly connected wire between the star wheels and the DCP. Solution: Reconnect the wire. * Insufficient power supply to the DCP. Solution: Verify the voltage at the box, ensuring it meets the minimum requirement of 12 volts. * Hay moisture content outside the system's readable range (8-70%). Solution: The system is designed to read moisture levels within the 8-70% range. * Ground contact between the star wheels and the baler-mounted processor. Solution: Reconnect the ground. * A short circuit in the wire connecting the star wheels and the DCP. Solution: Replace the wire. If the issue persists, contact Harvest Tec for as...
