Use HarvestLab™ 3000 on an forage harvester, combine harvester, slurry tanker, or as a mobile laboratory.
HarvestLab™ 3000 simultaneously measures the dry matter and various constituents of harvested crops to help you improve field nutrient management, with results far superior to what you get from a single sample sent to a lab. On a forage harvester, HarvestLab™ 3000 enables automated length of cut adjustment based on dry matter content to ensure optimal silage compaction and conservation.
HarvestLab™ 3000 records and maps moisture, protein, starch and oil for every second of the harvest, with results available on your combine’s display and in the John Deere Operations Center™. That allows you to store, manage and market batches more effectively and gives you an overview of which areas of the field have successfully converted nutrients into yield and protein/oil so that you can better compare varieties and plan fertiliser application for the next season.
Fitting HarvestLab™ 3000 to a slurry tanker lets you apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in kg/ha with more precision, save mineral fertilizer, and achieve better, more consistent crop growth and quality.
With John Deere Manure Sensing, you have the unique advantage of being able to apply N,P,K precisely. You can set up a nutrient target, a limit rate in kg/ha and even utilize site-specific prescription maps.
HarvestLab™ 3000 also pays off after forage harvesting or manure season: you can use the sensor as a stationary unit to measure the ingredients of your silage to optimise your feed rations.
