Introduction If you have a GPS receiver, you can use your Yield Monitor 2000 monitor
box with your GPS receiver in a tractor or other vehicle to record data for
making maps of where:
•
You plant different seed varieties or seed populations
•
You apply different herbicides, pesticides, or fertilizers, or use different
application rates
•
Field boundaries, tile lines, known problem areas, or other fixed field
features are
Your monitor already has the capability to perform these functions if you
have a Version 3.11 or higher program chip.
Field Marker When performing site verification, you normally will use field names to
identify different fields, just like yield monitoring. Then, you will create and
name loads in each field to identify different hybrids, populations, herbicides,
or whatever you want to note as occupying a certain area in the field. You
do not need the field marker option to identify different parts of fields that
are treated differently. But if you have the field marker, you can mark
smaller areas in your field (i.e., wet hole, weedy area).
Mapping Program To process and map the data, you must use Precision Map 2000 or another
mapping program that can process and archive the data cards.
Tractor Kit Ag Leader Technology sells brackets and cables for installing the yield
monitor in a tractor or other vehicle. Refer to the “Instructions for Modular
Tractor Kit Order Form” in this section of the manual, and order the
necessary parts through your Ag Leader Technology dealer.
