HARVEST LAB CONSTITUENT SENSING Precision Ag Technology FAQs

What does John Deere HarvestLab 3000 constituent sensing measure?

The John Deere HarvestLab 3000 measures moisture, dry matter, protein, starch, fiber, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber and sugar on the go. It uses near-infrared reflectance, the same technology used by most nutrition labs, and takes over 4000 readings per second.

What are the three ways to use the John Deere HarvestLab 3000 sensor?

One HarvestLab 3000 sensor can run on a John Deere self-propelled forage harvester with John Deere Constituent Sensing, work as a stationary unit with the stationary kit connected to a computer, or be used for John Deere Manure Sensing on a manure tanker. The sensor comes off a forage harvester or tanker in a matter of minutes.

Can the John Deere HarvestLab 3000 adjust length of cut automatically?

Yes. On a John Deere self-propelled forage harvester, AutoLoc works with the HarvestLab 3000 and infinitely variable length of cut (IVLOC) to change length of cut on the go based on crop moisture, which helps bunk density. The page notes it can save up to 5 percent fuel while increasing throughput, and the sensor can also dose inoculants based on current dry matter.

How does the HarvestLab 3000 stationary kit work for feed analysis?

With the stationary kit, you can test silage or TMR components in the barn or field office and get moisture, dry matter, protein, starch, fiber and sugar results within 2 minutes. It runs from a 12-V adapter for mobile use, and you can store results or export them as CSV files to share with a nutritionist.

What does John Deere Manure Sensing with HarvestLab 3000 measure?

Manure Sensing measures dry matter, nitrogen, ammonium, phosphorus and potassium in real time in hog, cattle and biogas liquid fertilizers. That allows site-specific application to a target and limit rate, with documentation of the nutrients applied. Data from the harvester or tanker can be sent wirelessly to John Deere Operations Center.

Where can I buy genuine parts for my John Deere HarvestLab 3000?

Koenig Equipment stocks genuine John Deere parts for the HarvestLab 3000 and the forage harvesters and equipment it runs on, and our parts teams across Ohio and Indiana can find what you need. Choose same-day delivery from a nearby Koenig store or pick up in store.
