Trailer camera for loading

[Farmer Fin]

Hi, I’ve been thinking about putting a camera inside the grain trailer for loading. Most of the bulkers have these nowadays and it seems it would make loading trailers easier.
Any one have any thoughts?

Anyone? Saw a tractor the other day with camera on the roof looking back. Any thoughts?

How about a wireless camera on the boom of your telehandler. That way it’s got more flexibility?

Sorry first post wasn’t very clear. It was for side loading from the combine.

Maybe I'm a bit old school.... Can't the combine driver just direct you a bit?

Neighbour has a wireless one on combine auger looking into the trailer.
Wireless screen in the tractor.

Ah yes, shouting and waving arms at the old man through combine window as he speeds up and slows down with you as your trying to move up and down the trailer.. Favourite bit of harvest

Would be boring if it was any different

Exactly, trying to reduce some of the stress of harvest. At least the stuff I have control over.

Wireless cam would be way to go.., would need regular cleaning I expect.

We have one rigged on the combine which transmits to a receiver in the cab of one of the trailers and displays on the CNH screen in said cab. Cost about £125 I seem to remember. It is OK and a help but a bigger window at the front is the better solution. It is great for front and back but poor for the sides.

Silage sides on the trailers and just drop 2/3 tank full in with no need to worry about filling the corners. Nice and simple

Just get the tractor to go at a fixed speed and let the combine driver fill the trailer,

This. The trailer driver shouldn't be concerning himself with filling it. Just drive in a straight line and don't hit the header.

As others have said set your speed at front of trailer let combine driver fill it starting at front and he can slow down a bit to fill the back all you have to do is keep spout in the middle .

That’s all we do, first tank fill front of trailer up to the window then you can still see the back to get some on back of trailer to spread weight. Second tank just cruise along side at X kmh and leave it to the combine driver. If you time it right when flashing lights come on two tanks is a comfortable load in trailer.
Got to be easier than squinting at a tiny screen that will no doubt loose signal at the key moments. ??

We have two cameras on each trailer, one as a reversing camera, the other mounted on the hydraulic rear door facing forward, so the driver can fill the rear of the trailer, all wired.

Thats what we do here... keep it straight and steady, and the combine driver can do it best.

As above, we have this camera fitted to the combine spout looking down, and the screen in the tractor cab, helped a less confident driver a lot last summer. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07S2R5VF5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_H3XJwdk9xeaLu
