Dallas Center IA 515-720-2463 | I need to add my thanks for a good answer to my question.
You have helped me several times.
A couple weeks ago I purchased a Ag Leader Implement Switch, Wisker type.
It has two weatherhead connectors on it - One labled NO, the other NC.
Having dreams of Implement Switches on about everything, as disk ripper, disk chisel, field cultivators. Already set up on both planters and the sprayers.
And then doing 100% recorded history of field operations.
This would probably mean another Edge, and a 1500 receiver.
Plus a couple extra wiring harresses. Leave the wiring in place on a tractor. Move the box and receiver.
Back when I first got into Micro-Trak Cal-An-Acres I soon wanted the acre count on everything.
And I figured out how to get that on/off magnet on just about all the stuff.
Took me a long time to figure out how to do it on the non spray controller sprayer. Ended up one switch shut off both sprayer electric valves and Cal-An-Acre.
And I never could come up with automatic count for the 20' Brady stalk chopper.
But tillage, NH3, planting, sraying were all counted.
Never had one in the combine, but I had one of the cheaper Micro-trak yield mointors in the combine since 1992.
The one that looks like an old Cal-An-Acre and counts acres, shows speed. Counts bushels as you unload by counting unload auger revs.
Got a 'On the Go' Micro-Trak yield mointor in 1995. Put the GPS and recording stuff in 1997.
Today I still have several Cal-An-Acres, none work. Most don't work because I have not maintanded the speed imput, ie. Magnets, Radar, Or the old Micro-Trak sound deal.
I have one of the new style Cal-An-Acres, it was in the Deere 4630. I took it out pre planting. The second Hockey Puck had quit.
With the Edge I always have speed showing anyway.
But the Cal-An-Acre will measure distance in feet up to 10,000 feet.
More with a little thinking. A 3000 controller will go to about 65,000 feet.
Hope to come up to the Well MN area to see Tedbear some of these days.
