Il plates on the truck. Contrast on the screen is good and can see it well on sunny days. If it is below 35* the screen don't work well till you warm the cab up. Not many problems with moisture unless up cut some mud in your soybeans and it builds up in the clean grain elevator. Then you just clean it out(the mud build up). Farmworks is what loup told me to use but I have had Farmworks for 10 years anyway. It was easy to download and make the maps. You have a few screens of info to check on the monitor. You will have on the first one your yield, wet or dry, moisture, and bushels per hour. The next screen will have ground speed, area(field and total),field and total bushels. You will also have instant yield or average yield. The yield monitor is an RDS and is about the same stuff that the Cat lexion has. The yield sensor is a non contact light beam that shoots across the clean grain elevator. They send you a test weight scale and you will need to check your test weight of the grain and plug the numbers into the monitor. I only calibrate it at the start of the year on each crop. We weight all of our grain across scales so I keep track of it that way. Total bushels seem to come good on the average but on a few field it was a little low, maybe 5% off. Those was small fields that had a lot of point rows and I didn't keep a steady ground speed and the combine was not running full all the time. On big square fields it seems real good. I got the monitor for $2600 at the louisville farm show in KY and put in on the combine myself. The light bar just plugged into the back of it. I think you can also use the monitor box for a sprayer setup alsoIJ I am not salesman so I hope that I answered some of what you wanted to knowIJ
