Farm4Profit Podcast · Harvest Automation - Is It Worth the Hype? · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

So it knows to slow down.

And so we did early field testing back long, long time ago on 780s right out in the wild and just make sure that we're headed in the right direction.

And then we bring them together and fine tune them.

So it's a long process, several, several years to get here.

Yeah, I think so.

I mean, they absolutely are.

I think when we add features, what we're looking for is not only

you know, problems that a customer is identifying with what's going on currently, but also just brainstorming with customers to see, hey, would this be helpful in your field, right?

Green crop detection comes directly from customers telling us during the process to say, hey, the crop height's totally flat here, but that part over there is green.

And I need the system to know to slow down.

Yeah, so we don't slug it.

Exactly.

That's what we're trying to avoid out there, right?

There's a lot going on in the background.

And we do try and be pretty transparent to the operator with our new system as well.

There's automation pages where you can go into for the ground speed side, the harvest setting side.

And it lists out a lot of the sensors that are being taken into account with those decisions.

And sometimes it's

rotor pressure you know sometimes it's header height changes coverage maps things like that uh and you as an operator can monitor and see because you're right the the combine itself is taking on a lot of those burdens um you know that's that's how i like to frame it like you said there's a lot of tasks that an operator has to do and so as we add to that long checklist with new cool things in the cab we want to make sure we're also easing the burden of operation right take machine sync for example right have you used machine sync much yeah

So with machine sync, we took that burden of green cart operation and kind of put it on the combine operator to a certain extent, right?
