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.
See Set tare screen,
page 43.
Set crop type Whenever a different
crop type is
harvested.
See Crop settings
screen, page 38.
Check storage
moisture percentage
If incorrect, DRY
weight totals will be
incorrect.
See Crop settings
screen, page 38.
Harvest a short strip For initial calibration
of crop moisture and
density.
