General
Description The PFadvantage is a universal monitor/controller for crop production. It
can be transferred from a combine to a tractor or other vehicles easily. In
the combine it functions as a yield monitor and accurately measures and
records acres, moisture, grain weight, bushels, and yield on-the-go. In the
tractor or sprayer it connects to a sprayer or planter controller and monitors
and controls the application rate. The PFadvantage also can record data for
field boundaries, tile lines or where a hybrid is planted.
The PFadvantage has its own internal memory for recording field and load
data. GPS data, however, is not recorded in the internal memory, but
must be logged to a memory card.
The PFadvantage must be setup and calibrated to record accurate
information.
NOTE: The Grass Seed version of the PFadvantage is setup and
calibrated using the same procedures as for grain harvest. Where
there are differences between the harvest of grain verses grass seed
they will be noted.
Fields and Loads All the information recorded by the PFadvantage must be recorded in a
field and load. The operator must manually select or change the field and
load on the PFadvantage during field operation. A load is used to
subdivide a field into smaller sections. The monitor load is not associated
with the combine tank, wagon, or truck load. It is recommended to use
different loads for different hybrids or varieties or field conditions.
Keypad The monitor has “soft” keys which do not have labels on the keys to
identify the function of the key. The labels for the keys will appear on the
display screen next to the key. However, there are four major groups of the
keys: arrow keys, display selection keys, menu key, menu selection keys.
