This is a YouTube video titled "New 700S Combine –CombineAdvisor ™ Automatically Adjusts for Losses in Canola" containing a discussion between two speakers about the Combine Advisor feature that automatically adjusts combine settings to reduce canola yield losses, including a financial calculation of potential savings per hour. The content is technical and focused on agricultural machinery performance.

The auto Maintain feature changes settings as conditions change to address losses a typical combine driver would not address. Combine Advisor solves the problem by making adjustments such as changing rotor and chaffer settings. Canola losses would cause a 1.5% yield reduction.
So I average about 50 bushels per acre for my canola. I got $8.25 per bushel last I sold. I know I can harvest about 20 acres per hour. Multiply that out and I get $8,250 per hour. But I do see a lot of losses. That 1.5% yield reduction would get me 49 and a quarter bushels per acre. Multiply that out and I'm only getting $8,126 per hour. That means I could save $124 per hour with Combine Advisor.
