Test weight
The Yield Monitoring system measures the volume of grain passing through the combine, and
estimates the weight by multiplying the measured volume by the test weight. Therefore, an
accurate measurement of test weight is required in order to achieve an accurate total weight
measurement. To ensure the best results:
l Recheck the test weight whenever the field conditions change significantly, either when
harvesting different varieties, or when the moisture level of the crop changes.
l Take several samples of test weight on calibration loads, and use the average of these samples
when calibrating.
Calibrating and operating conditions
How you operate your combine can affect your accuracy. Consider the following:
l Calibration will be most effective if you operate your combine at the same conditions as you
used during calibration.
l Frequent starts and stops during a load could degrade the overall accuracy of the load.
