23 “The raise, lower, and tilt functions on the joystick of the combine will be the same,” Harms said. “We just feed and control that in the background. Farmers set how they want the combine to run, and our system will hold to that.” The other harvest solution farmers may want to explore for harvest is TrueSight. This is Precision Planting’s full combine steering control system. It works by directly controlling steering valves or the steering motor for maximum control. On a corn head, a poly sensor is installed on the snout left of center. “The sensor has two arms that reach back and touch the rows of corn on either side of that snout,” Harms said. “The industry standard is two sensors on neighboring snouts on one arm to feel a single row between those snouts. But that kind of setup can be prone to poor performance in challenging conditions.” TrueSight helps ensure precision harvests because it takes its cues from the crop. “It responds to where the crop actually stands instead of a line on a map or a GPS signal,” Harms said. And similar to HeadSight, farmers can interact with TrueSight directly from the combine’s virtual terminal. Data from Precision Planting shows TrueSight’s potential benefits for producers. A typical corn grower could capture an additional 0.30.7 bushels per acre in harvested yield compared to manually steering by adding combine row guidance. Anyone interested in learning more about HeadSight or TrueSight can contact Precision Planting or a local dealer. Take a closer look at TrueSight and HeadSight in this video. | pag
