2022 John Deere Sugar Cane CH570

• Efficient front end for smooth uniform feed, reducing cane losses and soil content

• Large, premium cab integrates the latest technology with unparalleled comfort

• John Deere-exclusive floating crop divider and contour basecutter height-control technology reduces soil content and cane loss

• Harvester activity monitor (H.A.M.) will monitor harvester activities to improve operations

Features may include:

• Harvest Monitor is an industry-exclusive technology from John Deere. Harvest Monitor gathers and analyzes valuable harvest information, enabling sugarcane producers to make smarter decisions that drive down harvesting costs and improve overall farming practices.

• From the cab, the operator can monitor total tons harvested, harvester productivity, trash percentage, and fuel consumption. The operator can then use this information to make on-the-fly adjustments to optimize performance.

• SmartClean is the latest enhancement of Harvest Monitor that allows automatic control of primary extractor fan speed based on the operator’s preferences in order to obtain the most profitable balance between cane cleanliness and reduced loss.

• Through the John Deere Operations Center, the data can be processed to generate yield and other valuable maps and reports that will guide producers into making the right decisions on soil and water management, chemical application, crop renewal, field layout, equipment logistics, and much more.

• Harvest Monitor with SmartClean is available as an option for model year 2021 CH570 and CH670 Sugar Cane Harvesters as part of Cane Advisor™ machine optimization technology package (code 2904). It can also be purchased as a field-installed kit for all CH570 and CH670 models. A separate SmartClean field-installed kit is available for CH570 and CH670 models already equipped with Harvest Monitor.

• Harvest Monitor is much more than just a yield monitor. It includes:

• Optical yield monitor

• Elevator optical extraneous matter (trash) monitor

• Primary extractor cane loss monitor

• Primary extractor residue (trash) discharge monitor

• Fuel per ton monitor

• Pour-rate monitor

• Elevation monitor

• Transport load counter

• Harvest Monitor was designed to operate efficiently in all weather conditions. It is a low maintenance system with no additional wear items thanks to its optical technology that does not require direct contact with the cane.

• High-resolution, stereoscopic optical sensors and pattern recognition technology are used to scan the flow of cane as it passes through the elevator, identifying cane volume and differentiating it from trash. Four light-emitting diode (LED) lights illuminate the sampling area to ensure uninterrupted visual clarity.

• The system converts the volumes to mass in order to obtain tons of cane and extraneous matter level.

• With the use of sensors, the SmartClean system detects cane being lost through the primary extractor and displays it on the CommandCenter screen as an index. The level of residue or cane leaves being removed is also detected and displayed as an index.

• Aiming at the best economic outcome for the operation, the operator selects the target level of the following parameters and lets the system continuously and automatically find the appropriate primary extractor fan speed:
