We were looking at it today, if you want to grab a handful of grain out of the tank to do a quick moisture test, there's no obvious way to get at the tank from the cab?
Get the popcorn out, what combine for 400 acres?

That’s what the hole is for just outside the cab door.

Yield meter on my lexion is spot on if you calibrate it properly, just sayin
My first year with one this year was ok but need a weighbridge to be really accurate in my opinion which defeats the object. I've got Elec sieves vario and yield metre and if I was to do without one it would be the yield monitor
You can't do it on the move tho as the header will stop so you need a passenger to do it as you can't reach it from the seat . Or stop of course

I see, the black plastic cut out thing has a chute running the grain down to it from the bubble up augur.
Yeah there should be a litre measure in the bottom the hole that catches grain so you can weigh it for the yield meter .
That will be a good combine we had a 430 on demo before we got our 450 and it went well

I can get out and in again while it's going I get near the door with my hand on seat then get it and jump back on seat to test itDepends how quick you are, think you have about 5 seconds before it cuts out

Or disconnect the seat safety switch?
I've heard of people trying but without success

Wonder what hse think of these comments wtf would you leave the seat of a moving combine and leave the cab!
Can the trailer driver not test sample between unloading?

It’s not that bad
I usually just neal in the passenger seat grab a handful and sit down again to test it, it’s not like your actualy leaving the cab although you do have to be quick or the header cuts out. Autotrack does help a lot thoughThe big window in the back of the cab helps to see what the sample looks like, keeping the glas clean makes a big difference though.

Ps, that’s just to check the moisture and set the cebis. If I’m checking the gl/ha I usually wait till I’ve emptied the first tank then fill the jug out of the trailer, mainly as there’s not enough room to fill the jug out the whole in the tank and the scales bounce around to much if the machine is moving
