Straw Monitor
"You can prevent combine damage and reduce costly downtime with our new Straw Flow Monitor," says Jim Fisher, operations manager for Eltek Corp., Hagerstown, Ind.The company's new light-activated sensor monitors the flow of straw, stalks or other crop debris through the straw walker and rear area of the combine.
It consists of a light source and a light sensor mounted inside the combine 1 ft. above and behind the end of the straw walker. When debris begins to build up between the light and the sensor, a warning buzzer in the cab alerts the operator in time to prevent damage to the machine.
Retail price is $128, complete with enough wiring to fit the largest combines with either positive or negative ground.
