Harvesting pulse crops that are low to the ground, whether through lodging or because of a dry season, can lead to shatter losses, reducing yield, grain quality and complicating harvest.
The concept behind the S3 AWS Airbar is to have an air assist system attached to the combine header that directs what would otherwise be lost material or seed, to the back of the table and into the combine, says Ron Braden of S3 AWS Airbar in this interview at the Western Canadian Crop Production Show at Saskatoon, Sask.
Braden says that with a simple setup and low power consumption, the Airbar has a high return on investment, saving one to five bushels per acre depending on the type of crop, the extent of lodging, or how dry the crop is.
