Combines Yield monitor issues

Just a guess but id say very important... If its not too hard to add a half link and adjust back to proper specs Also i would think its okay to reinstall it... i think your talking about the moisture sensor up in the hopper if so Did they make an update or would they reinstall that down at the base of the machine they changed that (THANKFUllY) in 2000 i believe its well worth it unless you enjoy getting your excercise

First, accuracy is much improved the closer you can get the cutoff to the elevator paddle in the head of the clean grain auger. I would definately add the 1_2 link and get the upper shaft moved up and also raise the lower accordingly. Then I cannot stress how inportant it is that you follow the calibrations procedures. In addition, by adding the 1_2 link you can nmake some adjustment to the elevator chain on the bottom end and not have to calibrate. That cutoff controls how the grain strikes the sensor in the head. Change the dimension and you change the force on the board and you change the voltage generated and now the yield is way off. You should be able to cut the inclined auger, but would recommend you use a cutoff tool rather than a torch to avoid heat buildup. There is a conversion to move the mositure sensor to the clean grain elevator. Much improves crop flow, but can have heat buildup problems affectin the temperature probe. Not a big concern due to minimal affect on yield.

Add the 1_2 link for sure and now you will have to recalibrate the yield monitor for proper accuracy. Must be done when you change the elevator chain assy or move the deflector plate or change the impact sensor. The original flighting I believe had 6"-8" cut out or proper clearance to the sensor and must have no flighting in this area or you will break the fin off the sensor. Cheers

instead of cutting the auger, and fiddling with the chain, what about changing to the newer style of collecting the moisture by installing the box on the side of the clean grain. you cut 2 holes one for letting a sample into the moisture box and another at the top of the little auger that moves the sample back to the clean grain. I changed mine about 4 years ago and it is well worth the 2-3 hours to do it. I use to have a build up of soil at night in beans and it always threw off the moisture to 24-25% now, with the new style box the moisture remains accurate all the time. have your parts guy look up the kit. you still use you old moisture sender you just are relocateing it down nearer the ground. we also put the push button to run the auger to clean-out next to the box, some put it in the cab but this way you can do it while standing right there. this kit may come from ag leader but not sure. I did 2 of them and the difference was unbelieveable.
