John Deere released a mobile app for its ONE Series large square balers that tracks bale moisture, weight, and yield in real time. Farmers can use the data to make faster decisions during baling and loading.
SA Whether you're baling hay for yourself or others, you've been asking for more information to help make better decisions. Thanks to the 1 series large square baler and the new Bale Mobile app from John Deere, it's now possible to capture yield and other data for hay. The ONE Series measures moisture and weight for each flake and bale. The new Bale Mobile app takes out real time information to a whole new level, whether you're baling, loading or in the office managing. Let's start with baling. The operator in the tractor can see information as the app documents the baling process. Moisture and weight are tagged to the individual bale. Bale Mobile also lets you tag bales with additional information so you can identify them when sorting. This field data enables you to make better on the go decisions after baling a field. A summary will show tons of crop, number of bales and average moisture even if you're using more than one baler. Whether you're loading trucks or moving bales, Bale Mobile uses that same data to help you plan efficiently. You can sort by moisture weight and if preservative has or has not been applied, keep wet or weedy bales out of the stack and load trucks for optimal weight. From the office, you can see real time bale weight and moisture for all of your balers in a field. A summary shows yield information to help you decide on irrigation, fertilizer or replanting before next season. From baling to loading to planting, the new John Deere Bell mobile app gives you more information to improve efficiency and make better decisions.
