Pre-Harvest Farm Equipment Checklist | Farmease

The time of harvest season is nearing that means you need to prepare for the most important tasks related to your direct farm income i.e. harvesting. This article will help a producer to make sure that he is ready for the harvest season.



Check the Machine


A combine machine will only perform all the task only if it is fully functional. So check over the system, check for the damages, cuts, severe crimps. Look for excessive wear on the impact plate, holes on the clean grain elevator. If anything looks suspect, call your agent to fix these problems.


System Update


Keep the combine machine display and control software to the most latest firmware variant. New and update firmware guarantees your display and other systems will be running its best with the most recent features. 


Get Ready

New combine machines are coming with field boundaries, guidance system, machine configurations and application maps etc. So keeping in check software and hardware will save you extra time on the field. 


Artificial intelligence


Join the internet community to access the satellite imagery, sharing data between displays and devices, supporting up data and more right from the field. 


Manage the Key Parts


Make more educated management conclusions using real-time stats and maps, use the advance technology like satellite data, drone image, live speed, direction, yield, moisture and more. This will increase your chances to get the best collection in this season. 


Calibrate Your Equipment 


A tone calibration is the most significant step for harvest to ensure proper yield data. Calibration guarantees overall yield monitor precision and nature of data for each action. So do the calibration part with the help of an expert or your very good own experience. 


Happy Harvesting.

But the best variant of combine harvester First self-propelled combine harvester union of the vapour engine was acquired by the George Stockton Berry. And since the Combine harvesters are usin...

Best Practices in Agriculture To Improve Production

Image
Agriculture developed in innovative and inspirational methods in the previous decades. With a new strategy to increase farmer productivity, collaborative forces have changed the course of farming in present. Reducing human efforts to get the most unusual yield is what defines smart farming. New  agricultural machinery   became possible with the intelligent use of technology and economic innovative ideas put mutually. Over time, new changes in technology and knowledge led to saving both time and money in farming.   Here is the list of top practices that made farming possible in incredible ways-   Improved Irrigation In present dependence of natural rain of a farmer is almost zero.  Things like artificial rains, new and improved tales of watering have made their impression. If we talk about the examples like Drip Irrigation, Center Pivot, Sprinkler water system, Subsurface textile irrigation, and watering by the lateral move creating farm lakes are additional new ...

Types of Plough and Their Uses

Image
Primary tillage implement plough is one of the modern farm equipment used to alter the layer of soil and bring nutrition on the top. Plough  has a wide variety of use in farming. These instruments are used for the improvement of the soil just before seeds and plants are established. Ploughing uses to loosen and turn the soil, which ultimately produces in increased crop yield and plough, farm machine is typically drawn by a tractor. Types of Plough and their uses -  Types of plough applied to break and loosen soil and get the bottom around 6 to 36 inches. Here are some main kinds of plough used in farming as listed below.  Moldboard (MB) Plough Disc plough Rotary Plough Chisel Plough  Subsoil Ploughs Mold Board Plough (MB Plough) - If we talk about moldboard plough, It used to break various types of soils and perfect for turning and covering the crop residuals. If we take a close look at the structure of this farm equipment then we find a variety of MB plough for per...
