Yield Sensor Paddle Extension Plates
Due to the paddle configuration on some makes or models, a paddle extension plate kit (P/N 117-0171-462)
may be required to ensure the yield sensors register a clean reading off of each grain paddle. It may also be
possible to simply mount the sensor closer to the back wall of the elevator (away from the chain and paddle
mounting bracket) to avoid reading the mounting brackets.

Note:
An extension tab kit may be required for installations on Gleaner, New Holland or Massey
Ferguson harvesters. Tabs may also be necessary for other harvesters if the SmartYield Pro
system has difficulty achieving a good calibration. Refer to the SmartYield Pro Calibration and
Operation Manual for details on the calibration and to help determine if tabs are necessary for your
specific harvester.
On models with the elevator paddles riveted to the elevator chain, weld the tabs to the paddle
brackets.
Bolt-on Paddle Chains
To attach the paddle extension plates to bolt-on elevator paddles:
1.
Open the access panel or clean out door in the bottom of the clean grain elevator.
2.
Manually operate the elevator until a paddle is easily accessible through the access panel.
3.
Use a socket or impact wrench to remove the bolt from one side of the elevator chain and paddle.
Note:
It does not matter if the extension plate is installed on the left or right side of the paddle.
4.
Place the plate’s tab between the paddle and elevator chain bracket.
5.
Replace the nut and bolt.
6.
Retighten the elevator paddle.
