Yield Monitoring calibration 9 Yield Monitoring setup
1. Conduct a calibration load of 3,000-6,000 lbs. at your normal harvest speed, making sure to
keep it constant.
2. Repeat this procedure for one load each at:
ll 1 mph less than the normal operating
l 2 mph less than the normal operating speed
l 1 mph higher than the normal operating speed
Example
An example of calibration loads using this method is as follows:
l Load 1 = 4,547 lbs. @ 2 mph
l Load 2 = 3,834 lbs. @ 3 mph
l Load 3 = 2,764 lbs. @ 4 mph
l Load 4 = 5,768 lbs. @ 5 mph
Cut width method
This method uses:
l A consistent speed
l Varied cut widths to calibrate for Low, Medium, and High flows
1. Conduct a calibration load of 3,000-6,000 lbs. at your normal constant speed with a 100% cut
width (that is, 12 rows at 30 ft).
2. At the same constant speed, repeat this procedure for one load each at:
ll 75% of the normal cut width (9 rows at 22.5 ft)
l 50% of normal cut width (6 rows at 15 ft)
l
25% of normal cut width (3 rows at 7.5 ft)
This provides a calibration curve for Low, Medium, and High flow variations throughout the
course of Harvest.
Example
An example of calibration loads using this method:
l Load 1 = 5,768 lbs. @ 4 mph @ 100% swath width
l Load 2 = 4,547 lbs. @ 4 mph @ 75% swath width
l Load 3 = 3,834 lbs. @ 4 mph @ 50% swath width
l Load 4 = 2,764 lbs. @ 4 mph @ 25% swath width
