As yield monitoring is almost assumed to be part of harvest at this point, I wonder why oem companies do not take the lead and design the clean grain elevator to accurately weigh the grain as it is elevated instead of using the impact plate or electric eyes.
Why? What's wrong with an impact plate? I have had well calibrated machines achieve accuracies in the range of tenths of a percent across 25,000 bushels. That's better than grain cart scales, which typically have an error of .5% to 1% per load cell.
It's simple, economical, and effective. There is no need to reinvent this wheel. |
