I am just more hung up on how it didnt work, and no one got their 6,500 dollar option cost back... It is nice to try something new, but surely this thing failed in testing and was released to the public anyways? (like an early N series Gleaner, a 8010 CIH, or a 50 series Deere I suppose...)
Shoot, even if you dont give any money back, a voucher good for a grand in parts at the local dealer would go a long ways to sweeten the sour taste left in the farmer's mouth.
As far as the Claas system, leave it to the Germans to make a failed American idea actually work good, eh Don?
I was wondering, at least on a pickup header, could anything be done with sensors on the windguard? could probably have some feelers over the center belt of a draper header as well. IDK how one could accurately sense crop volume on anything with an auger though.
