Target
The operator selects the desired bale weight and averaging preference.
Automatic process
Five stages, repeated throughout the field.
The operator remains responsible for the baler and field operation. Weighay supports that work with continuous weight information and automatic pressure adjustment.
Measure
Every bale is weighed multiple times after it leaves the chamber.
Average
The controller uses the measurements to calculate the live average.
Control
Software adjusts the hydraulic pressure through the Weighay control valve.
Inform
The operator sees weights and system information from the cab.
Why pressure moves
The crop does not stay the same all day.
Weighay's published guidance explains that rising system pressure can indicate drying crop, while falling pressure can indicate moistening crop. The system varies pressure to regulate bale weight.
Temperature and moisture
Drying or moistening crop can change the amount of material and density in each bale.
Windrow variation
Uneven crop flow changes how the chamber is fed and how each bale forms.
Finished-bale feedback
Measuring after the bale leaves the chamber gives the controller a result to compare with the target.
Responsible operation
Automatic does not mean unattended.
Accuracy depends on correct installation, calibration and operating conditions. Weighay recommends regular sample-bale checks and checking calibration for drift daily.
- Install the platform and sensors correctly
- Set a suitable target for the crop and market
- Calibrate according to the user manual
- Check a sample bale regularly
- Use alarms and diagnostics to investigate faults
