Minimal drop.
Long drop to the pile (carrots).
The Auto Drop Height Controller is designed to automatically control drop height within preset limits. The operator will experience less stress and fatigue, and a consistent drop height will be maintained regardless of operator experience.
The system can be installed on any harvester or bin piling equipment with electric-
The controller is designed to make the operator's job easier on any harvester. It works especially well in hilly fields on machines with automatic leveling controllers where drop height varies when the leveling cylinder is activated.
The faster a truck is being loaded, the faster drop height needs to be adjusted. That means an automatic system offers greatest benefits where the crop is windrowed and the harvester is working at maximum capacity.
Mounted in cab for easy operator access. Simple controls allow engaging and disengaging automatic mode, as well as adjusting the drop height on the go. The same controls are used to navigate the simple menu system to configure and calibrate the system.
Usually mounted near solenoid bank for easy electrical connections. The ultrasonic sensors and solenoid wiring are all connected to the Interface Box, which connects to the Controller with a single cable.
