Front tank error

[TomR]

I think the area accumulation might be the biggest indicator. If the box only clocked up 8.5Ha in a 15Ha field then there is either something wrong with the radar sensor or it is intermittently cutting in and out of work.
If the radar starts to vibrate when you are drilling this can cause a fluctuation in the reading. You should see this on the screen when it's happening. Alternatively, if the cut out switch has a bad connection, or it's moved on it's mounting and is being deflected as you're drilling, it could be cutting the system out of work when it's not meant to. Do you ever notice the tick changing to a cross at the top of the screen, next to the time, when the drill is down?
If it turns out the other screen you are trying works, you can always do a software reset on the original unit, back to factory defaults, and put in your factors again. That might just clear it out and get it working.

Is the motor speed fairly consistent between each time you run a calibration?

As above, if the area meter is not matching up it sounds like your work switch is not working properly.
Is it on a top link style bracket where the physical angle makes the switch contacts move or is it a hydraulic work switch?

Thanks guys for all the input.
The forward speed seams stable
I turn it of and on from the control box
I think a reset is the way forward.
yes every time I have done a calabration it’s the correct weight showing on the screen.
would jump starting the tractor change the settings in the box like it dose with Amazone sprayers.

How do I re set the box back to factory settings ?

 

[Case290]

Well what can I say. Wtf

 

[clbarclay]

That explains a lot.

How did bag get through grid?

 

[Chae1]

Something blocking metering outlet?

Do you not monitor seed usage for each bag? Or was it a small field.

Worst thing is I emptied the tank to check before how I missed that ?

 

[clbarclay]

Did that come out of the bag of seed?

 

[snarling bee]

I've had all sorts in bags before, nuts, bolts and washers, a chicken bone, empty vodka bottle, and string from small bags, But never a big plastic bag.

Its a good job it didnt get sown imagine how many plastic bag plants you would have had wrapping the combine drum

 

[Chae1]

Any pictures of fields you drilled with it in?

 

[Case290]

There’s a couple when I re drill it.. thanks for asking.

 

[Chae1]

Is there completely blank bits or did it just reduce seed flow?

I'm not taking the pee, will happen to anyone at some point.
