Anytime, Anywhere, On-the-Go Testing from the HarvestLab™ Sensor

Protect your herd and your profit with accurate timely testing from the HarvestLab Sensor. It is the only solution that monitors your silage moisture levels during harvest and before you feed; knowing those levels can improve the quality of your feed, enhance herd production, cut costs, and ultimately net you more profit.

In the field, the HarvestLab Sensor provides on-the-go measurements. As crop flows through the spout, real-time moisture and yield information is shown on the GreenStar™ display inside the cab. This information allows you to more accurately adjust inoculant dosages according to dry matter value, cut length, and yield. The display also provides average and total readings for material throughput and crop yield per field, per acre or per trailer load.

The field isn't the only place where the HarvestLab Sensor adds value.

You can use the HarvestLab Sensor to create your own silage analysis laboratory at home by detaching the sensor from the forage harvester and connecting the HarvestLab Stationary Kit to your computer. In under 5 minutes, HarvestLab generates accurate readings for precise TMR every time you feed.

You can do a lot with instantaneous yield and moisture data from HarvestLab:

• Quickly identify if crop has reached optimal moisture to harvest
• Prevent downtime while waiting for moisture measurements via drying ovens
• Appropriately adjust length-of-cut and inoculant levels
• Optimize bunk density and fermentation for heightened silage/feed quality
• Regulate harvest rate based on the capacity of the storage facility
• Segment storage facilities based on moisture content
• Compare hybrid/variety productivity
• Enable crop traceability
• Acquire dry volumes
