Accurate to +/- 2%, Joskin’s dynamic weighing system is designed to fit most trailers, slurry tankers and manure spreaders equipped with a hydraulically-suspended drawbar and a hydraulic running gear. Two pressure sensors located on the running gear circuit, as well as a pressure sensor on the drawbar, send radio or cable signals to a computer. Able to be controlled through the ISObus terminal, the weight can be displayed in the tractor cab, and a second screen can be added to a telehandler or SPFH. It is also possible to install a flow meter on a manure spreader. A laser sensor measures the height of the manure at the door ensuring a constant flow of material to the beaters. The Belgian company reckons dynamic weighing is significantly cheaper than a system using load cells.
