A question came up on the Gleaner form about the performance and problems with a C62 walker. You have the same machine just MF decals. What is your experience with this machineIJ Where are you located and what crops doe you harvestIJ

We have only run it for 1 year. Ran it with a 1688 and there was no comparison in capacity massey would do 50% more picking up swathed wheat. Neighbour came over with 9610 deere and he couldnt believe the capacity lapping him every third round and the low amount of loss compared to his deere. Only problem was the big conveyor belt that went out massey covered it on warranty and claimed they would until they get solution. located in S. Alberta

The fieldstar is acurate if you calibrate it correctly. You need to do a zero point calibration, which zeroes out the vibrations of the machine, and then do an automated yield calibration. You will want to do the yield calibration 2 or more times, depending on the accuracy you want. Fieldstar is also pretty easy to use, and each new software version gets even easier. Make sure you have the latest software version. Version 4.31. The software updates are provided by AGCO free of charge.
