yield monitors for older machines

tkoppel · 10-22-2010, 08:29 PM

I hope it's not a foolish question, but can a yield monitor be adapted to older gleaner like M2-L2-F2? Some might say it's like putting racing wheels on a Model T Ford, but for some of us smaller guys it could be a usefull tool.

I'd guess a older agleader might be fabricated to work.

Sure. We put an AgLeader monitor on our R62 but it could be installed on any style or make of machine. (as long as its 12 volt) lol.

Just put a Ag Leader yield monitor on my M3 this year. They have new sensors, but you need to find an older read-out. I am using a PF Advantage on mine. It is VERY accurate and I think will be a useful tool to help with managing the farm operations.

Thanks for the info, I'll follow up wigh info on Agleader.

m3 farmer? do you think you could post a picture of how you did this? . i would love to have a wild monitor in my l2

Here is another one to consider, they guarantee ease of install and full compatibility with older combines. I plan to install one of these myself for next year.

Loup Electronics, monitors, yield monitors, yield monitor, sensor, harvest, gps

Any idea on the price of the Loup monitor?

what would a Ag leader yield and moisture monitor run for price?

tkoppel · 10-25-2010, 09:17 PM

I talked to the sales guy at Agleader about this stuff. He said that the yield kit runs $1,400, Moisture $450, and GPS outfit @$1,000. So thats $2,850 and you still need to get a monitor which they don't make anymore. You have to find a used YM2000 or PF3000 someplace. A wild guess is $500-$1,000? So from what I gather you could have nearly $4,000 tied up. How does this sound to you? Makes me wonder........
