Easy to Use, Field-Proven Grain Cart Solution
The Raven Cart Automation makes it easier for any operator - at any experience and skill level - to be more efficient, productive, and profitable in their farm operations. It’s no secret that unload on-the-go operations come with a variety of pressures and challenges for both combine and grain cart operators working together. Raven Cart Automation addresses these by enhancing the efficiency and productivity of these operations while also providing a safer operating environment and confidence that grain is going into the cart, not on the ground. As a result, operators can now concentrate on keeping their machines harvesting at full capacity and make optimal use of shorter harvesting windows.
How It Works
Using radio signals, The Raven Cart Automation coordinates both the path and speed of your tractor during "on-the-go" operations, optimizing efficiency and reducing wait time. Once the tractor and harvester are within proximity of each other, the tractor operator engages automatic steering and propulsion for the Raven Cart Automation to then sync your grain cart with the combine at distances up to 230 feet. Once heading and speed have been synchronized between both tractor and combine, full control of the cart operation is put back into the hands of the combine operator through the use of a customizable joystick and with the push of a few buttons.
Using the multifunction controller, the combine operator can nudge the grain cart forward or backward to fill the bin appropriately—there is no need to speed up or slow down to change sync position. Grain spillage caused by miscommunication or imperfect manual unloading coordination is dramatically reduced. Once the cart is full, the tractor operator can steer to disengage the sync and drive to the appropriate unload point.
Key Features
- Minimizes grain spillage when unloading on the go, maximizing profits.
- Reduces the need to slow down the combine during unloading, increasing harvesting efficiency.
- Allows a new grain cart operator to approach or surpass the unload cycle times of a seasoned operator.
- Reduces stress for both tractor and combine operators during harvest.
- Reduces operator training time through ease of use.
- Uses local radio communication for more reliable sync between cart and combine.
- Can sync up to six-grain carts and combine systems in one operation.
- Includes a customizable joystick and button control for an enhanced experience.
Reduce Stress and Spillage. Increase Peace of Mind and Profit.
Raven Cart Automation offers farmers a solution to reduce the stressors brought on by manually coordinating speed and positioning between tractor and combine while also keeping an eye on field conditions. With the Raven Cart Automation taking care of both steering and propulsion, operators can have peace of mind and better focus on the job at hand.
Using the Raven Autonomy™ tech stack, the Raven Cart Automation also makes autonomy more accessible for operators at all experience levels. It reduces the amount of training needed to intelligently address the market’s limited availability of skilled labor and enhances confidence with an increase in harvest unload reliability.
