Subject: RE: yield monitor moisture


Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn.
I've had them for years. If the moisture isn't changing than it is likely that the auger isn't turning as mentioned above.

I spliced a pair of wires into the wires leading to the small auger motor. I ran these wires to the cab with a small light across them. When the motor is getting power to run, the light is on. For corn it is on almost constantly, for soybeans, On/Off about half the time. It is reassuring to watch the light to see if it behaves like it should.

At first Ag Leader had the moisture sensor in the clean grain auger with some flighting cut out. Maybe you have that style, then you wouldn't have the motor that I refer to. That style didn't work the greatest. It was common for them to have a build up on the moisture sensor fin which would show a constant high moisture.
