GRDC Harvester Set Up Workshop - Quairading

Grain growers, harvest contractors, machinery dealers and advisers are invited to a practical GRDC Harvester Set-up Workshop designed to improve harvest efficiency, grain quality and profitability.

Using a range of machinery and a manufacturer-agnostic approach, harvest specialists will demonstrate how to identify where losses occur, accurately measure grain losses and adjust harvester settings to improve performance.

Participants will learn how to:

• measure and reduce grain losses

• balance harvester throughput, grain quality and fuel efficiency

• assess losses when using harvest weed seed control systems

• calibrate loss sensors, yield monitors and other harvester technology

• evaluate aftermarket tools designed to reduce losses

• improve harvest safety and reduce operational risks

The workshop will combine technical information, practical demonstrations and discussion with experienced harvest specialists. Participants are encouraged to bring questions about their own machinery, harvest conditions and operational challenges.

The program is relevant to growers and contractors operating different harvester brands and models. Information will focus on practical principles that can be applied across machinery types.
