Monitors work fine, will sit comfortably at 30tph in wheat.I wondered what the graphic looks like when the loss monitors are actually working.
Not my field I’m just the contractor, he usually drills it at a different angle though.
Yield meter gets checked regularly against my Weighbridge so I know it’s usually within 0.2t/ac. That’s only Spot rate though, the field did an average of 4.02t/ac but there’s a big chunk along a railway that gets munched by rabbits!
Today’s been about the driest I’ve seen since cutting winter barley in July, just need this weather to hold for another couple of weeks then I can get tidied up!

Is the 17th of October considered early as that's when todays block was drilled?
Our worst bit was drilled 16th of October.
If KWS's fix is to be for Extase not to be drilled before late October, this will kill it stone dead in the very areas where its septoria resistance was to have been its great advantage.

Apologies; completely off-topic but my machinery-geek mind is getting the better of me! What combine is that? Straw swath looks rotary-ish… but header ‘appears’ to be not very wide; yet you ‘appear’ to have gps unless you’re way better than me at driving
. Please satisfy my curiosity? Looking at the reel/shade of yellow on the divider I’m leaning toward a tx64 with retro gps but that straw is pushing me back to an older tf 42 or something! Yes I know I’ve got too much time on my hands…it’s 20.3% at last checkHa ha . It’s aTX63. S Reg so what’s that 22 yrs old .17ft cut No GPS or anything, just a 59 yr old who has been combining since 15 .makes a nice enough sampleApologies; completely off-topic but my machinery-geek mind is getting the better of me!

If we hadn’t of broken down yesterday afternoon I was about to knock it on the head as the moisture was 12.8%!
Back up to 17% this morning though.

Won't that mix in with the 12.8 without any deductions?
