Top Three Reasons to Harvest with Raven Cart Automation

Raven Cart Automation™ is Raven’s newest driver-assisted solution for complex harvesting unload-on-the-go operations. Released at Farm Progress Show 2023, the innovative harvesting technology is designed to synchronize the combine and grain cart automatically for a more effective output and profitable yield.

Here are the top three reasons why you should use Raven Cart Automation in your harvest operation.

  1. Raven Cart Automation™ prevents avoidable grain spillage, maximizing yield. Manually driving a grain cart into the perfect position under the combine auger at all times requires great communication and better driving skill. One imprecise or unintentional movement, and you’re spilling grain – losing yield and profit. Raven Cart Automation syncs the guidance and speed of the tractor with the combine automatically, minimizing preventable spillage and ensuring maximum output from your harvesting operations.

  2. Raven Cart Automation relieves the stress on harvest operators. With reliable radio-based sync, the pressure to perfectly drive is taken off the grain cart drivers. Raven Cart Automation is proven to reduce stressful events by 33% for the combine operator and 22% for the tractor operator in small grain. This is comparable to the difference between white-knuckle city driving and smooth highway driving.
    Raven Cart Automation makes unloading simple for drivers at all skill levels by streamlining complex communications and eliminating the need for manually guided precise steering movements.

  3. Raven Cart Automation makes unloading more efficient. The connection between cart and combine makes it easier to maintain vehicle speed. In some cases, this means covering more acres in a day. It helps reduce unload cycle time by making cart positioning more consistent, meaning that the harvester is less likely to slow down or stop to reposition.
