Does the kit work for both malting and feed barley?

Yes. The optical sensor measures volumetric flow and compensates for test-weight differences between two-row malting, six-row feed and hulless barley varieties without recalibration.

Which barley combines is the kit compatible with?

All conventional and rotary combines used for barley: CLAAS Lexion, Trion, Tucano, Avero, Dominator; John Deere T-Series, W-Series, S-Series and X9; New Holland CX, CR, TC; Case IH Axial-Flow; Fendt and Massey Ferguson IDEAL; Deutz-Fahr C-series; Rostselmash Acros, Torum, Vector; Sampo Rosenlew Comia and Tornado.

How does barley dust affect the optical sensor?

The sensor head is sealed to IP67 and uses self-cleaning optics designed for high-dust barley conditions. Nightly tarp-off is unnecessary and there is no maintenance during the harvest window.

What accuracy can I expect on barley?

Typically 95–98% vs. weighbridge across full-season barley harvests, comparable to or better than factory impact-plate systems.

Barley Yield Monitor — Retrofit Yield Mapping for Any Barley Combine

Built for Barley Harvest

Barley moves through the clean grain elevator with high dust and variable test weight depending on grade. Our optical sensor handles both without manual recalibration — keep harvesting through the malting window without stopping to drag calibration loads.

Malting vs Feed

Two-row malting, six-row feed and hulless varieties — automatic test-weight compensation.

IP67 Dust Sealed

Sealed self-cleaning optics designed for the dustiest part of harvest.

Live Yield Maps

Stream yield, moisture and productivity zones to your phone or tablet during harvest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use one kit for barley, wheat and rapeseed in the same season?

Yes. One kit, every crop your combine processes — see wheat, canola/rapeseed and oats.

Will the sensor handle dust from barley awns?

Yes — the optical head is sealed to IP67 and uses self-cleaning optics validated through full UK and German barley harvests.

Can I split yield maps by malting vs feed delivery contracts?

Yes — the cloud platform lets you tag fields by grade and contract, so you can analyse productivity zones per delivery destination.
