YieldTrakk Operation
6.1. Getting the best results
To achieve the best possible accuracy, the system must be properly set
up and maintained. The main points to observe are:
If harvesting particularly oily crops, check that the grain sensor
lenses and the moisture sensor fin stay reasonably clean.
Cross-check moisture readings and grain density settings by
measuring reference samples of the crop at the start.
Check and if required tare (zero) the yield reading with the
harvester running empty.
The clean grain elevator chain should be in good condition and
correctly tensioned.
6.2. Operation checklist
Step When / why? How?
Check tare At least once per day,
or more often with
dirty or oily crops.

harvested.
See Crop settings
screen, page 38.
Check storage
moisture percentage
If incorrect, DRY

Harvest a short strip For initial calibration
of crop moisture and
density.
