Both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line | This is a tough one. I have lots of ideas on your problems, but limited experience with flow sensors with single flow calibration abilities (Deere, AGCO, and others) I think that the manufacutrers of these yield monitors sometimes utilize clean grain elevator chains that have a gap between a pair of the paddles to assist in calibration and flow readings. I don't know if your machine came from the factory with one of these clean grain elevator chains, but its a possibility that yours did come with one from the factory and it was possibly swapped out for an aftermarket chain? Other than that, if the fieldstar doens't allow for a calibration load that is about half to 2/3rds of your highest grain flow rate, I don't think I'd expect much more accuracy out of it when the grain flow rate strays from what it was originally calibrated for.
I'm not trying to put down anyones yield monitor here, just sharing from my experiences and school-of-hard knocks education. |
