Harvest Smart Feed Rate-System Adjustments

  • Max Ground Speed (2.0 - 14.0 km/h) (1.2 - 8.6 mph) (A) › use parameter to set maximum ground speed when Harvest Smart is active.

    NOTE: These parameters can be modified to increase functionality and optimize performance.

    • Sets a comfortable maximum ground speed without having to move multifunction control handle back. Otherwise, when crop conditions change from normal yields to light yields, system will increase ground speed until target pressure or multifunction control handle position speed is reached.
    • One option is to set maximum ground speed to 0.8-1.6 km/h (0.5-1 mph) higher speed in lightest crop condition. By limiting maximum ground speed to just above normal operating speed, system is more efficient (not a large speed range to adapt to and learn parameters).

      NOTE: Multifunction control handle position always limits maximum ground speed set by operator.

  • Engine RPM (2350 - 2560 rpm 1 , 2150 - 2350 rpm 2 ) (B) › use this to set lowest allowable engine rpm Harvest Smart will allow.
    • If slug feeding is a concern, increase setting to allow for more cushion on engine load.
    • Using engine rpm to control ground speed can be accomplished by setting value close to operating rpm. This can be done in crops where there are large header loads relative to threshing loads (example corn).

    • Response (0-100) (A) › use this to adjust how aggressively Harvest Smart makes ground speed changes.

      NOTE: These parameters can be modified to increase functionality and optimize performance.

      • It is best to start low and make large (10-20) increases until ground speed changes feel too aggressive. Back numbers down from there.
      • Rate will vary with header because of difference in feeding function (example: corn head might perform best at high rates, whereas a draper needs low rates).
      • Rate may need to be adjusted based on ground speed. At slow speeds a higher rate might perform better than at high speeds. In highly variable conditions (large density changes in short distances) it is recommended to keep response rate in mid range setting (40-60).
    • Target Pressure (30-420) (B) › use this to set target volume or throughput independently of VisionTrak loss monitor.

      NOTE: Target pressure is not selectable if operating in Smart Mode.

      • This parameter can be used when operator likes to adjust target volume (based on rotor load) without changing VisionTrak loss monitor calibration.
      • Recommended way of adjusting target pressure is in Smart Mode using up/down arrow buttons on VisionTrak. By adjusting settings through VisionTrak this keeps target volume/loss relationship intact (example: if VisionTrak calibration factor is acceptable, but machine maintains a slow ground speed, increase target volume parameter by 20. If ground speed is high, decrease target volume parameter by 20).
