Subject: RE: calibrating yield monitors



Shelby, MT
on the Agleader/case IH monitor we cut one load(150 bushel +) at the beginning of harvest and then get to cutting. We bin everthing so it is a big pain to go and get the truck weighed anymore than that. We alway check things against the monitor after we have it hauled it and it is real close. Last year we didn't get it calibrated until the end of harvest when we had a couple of truck fulls to hauls and we found out it is very important to do it in the beginning. The calibration load will backwards adjust everything and for some reason our monitor was a quite a bit off.
You can have more calc loads but one or 2 will do the job...If you switch crops, I would guess then you would have to recheck...
