John Deere ActiveYield = Active Calibration

Eliminate manual yield calibrations by adding an ActiveYield Kit to your John Deere S Series combine.

So how does ActiveYield work?

ActiveYield provides continuous calibration of the mass flow sensor through load cells installed in the grain tank.

The load cells estimate the change in weight of grain, as the grain tank fills. The ActiveYield Monitor controller software in the moisture sensor compares the grain tank load cell data to the Clean Grain Elevator mass flow sensor data and will adjust the Mass Flow Flow sensor calibration curve to minimize error.

This allows for automatic calibrations while you're running; improving real-time time decision making as ActiveYield enhances the accuracy of the combine's yield data.

And best of all you didn't have any downtime while you were manually calibrating!

ActiveYield Kits are available for Model Year 12 - 18 Combines. Talk to your local Martin Deerline Parts Department to get a quote today.

Tips To Avoid Stale Fuel In Your Lawn Mower

Did you know; that gas sitting in your lawn mower tank or a jerry can for more than 30 days begins to degrade?

Ethanol and water in the gasoline can form acids that will corrode your carburetor and prevent your mower from running. Below are some helpful tips to avoid stale fuel and ultimately larger repair issues for your mower.

• Buy only the amount of gas that you need or are going to use in the near future. Even fuel sitting in a container will go stale due to exposure to oxygen. 

• Fill your tank to the top after you mow, before you put your machine away. Prior to storing for winter you will want to drain the fuel out.

• Consider using premium fuel. Any gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol can create engine problems caused by the degrading and/or corrosion of seals, gaskets and metal parts.

• Use fuel stabilizer all season long to extend the shelf life of gas. Add stabilizer right away when you get your gas so it can start working immediately and help keep your carburetor clean. 

• For handheld products that require a mixed fuel, we recommend using the pre-mixed fuels. These are an excellent option if your not using the equipment very often as pre-mixed fuel such as Stihl's MotoMix has a two year shelf life once opened.

Ultimately, good fuel helps keep engines healthy and running smooth, which results in less money spent in the service department!

For more information on servicing your lawn mower and keeping it running at its optimum performance visit your local Martin Deerline service team.

How to Winterize Your Self Propelled John Deere Sprayer

Don't underestimate the importance of winterizing your sprayer this year. A full and thorough cleaning of your sprayer inside and out will bring to the surface potential problems before they arise next Spring and ensure there is no damage caused by below zero temperatures. Read on for a step by step process on how to service and store your self-propelled sprayer for winter.

Winterizing Your Self-Propelled Sprayer

• Thoroughly clean machine inside and out to prevent premature rust from fertilizer and pesticide products.
