HARVEST MONITOR WITH SMARTCLEAN SYSTEM ENABLES COST SAVING DECISIONS ON HARVESTING AND FARMING PRACTICES
Harvest Monitor is an industry-exclusive technology from John Deere. Harvest Monitor gathers and analyzes valuable harvest information, enabling sugarcane producers to make smarter decisions that drive down harvesting costs and improve overall farming practices.

From the cab, the operator can monitor total tons harvested, harvester productivity, trash percentage, and fuel consumption. The operator can then use this information to make on-the-fly adjustments to optimize performance.

SmartClean is the latest enhancement of Harvest Monitor that allows automatic control of primary extractor fan speed based on the operators preferences in order to obtain the most profitable balance between cane cleanliness and reduced loss.

Through the John Deere Operations Center, the data can be processed to generate yield and other valuable maps and reports that will guide producers into making the right decisions on soil and water management, chemical application, crop renewal, field layout, equipment logistics, and much more.

Harvest Monitor with SmartClean is available as an option for CH570 and CH670 Sugar Cane Harvesters as part of Cane Advisor machine optimization technology package (code 2904). It can also be purchased as a field-installed kit for all CH570 and CH670 models. A separate SmartClean field-installed kit is available for CH570 and CH670 models already equipped with Harvest Monitor.

HARVEST MONITOR IS MUCH MORE THAN JUST A YIELD MONITOR. IT INCLUDES
Optical yield monitor
Elevator optical extraneous matter (trash) monitor
Primary extractor cane loss monitor
Primary extractor residue (trash) discharge monitor
Fuel per ton monitor
Pour-rate monitor
Elevation monitor
Transport load counter

Harvest Monitor was designed to operate efficiently in all weather conditions. It is a low maintenance system with no additional wear items thanks to its optical technology that does not require direct contact with the cane. The system converts the volumes to mass in order to obtain tons of cane and extraneous matter level.

The refrigerator, 37 L (1.3 cu ft) in size, keeps beverages and food items cold, even in a warm environment. The compressor-style refrigerator functions with independent temperature control and is powered from a 12-V receptacle in the rear cab wall that is powered when the ignition switch is in the run position.

Access to the refrigerator is easy because the instructor seat can either be lifted, exposing the contents in the active refrigerator, or the front door of the refrigerator can be opened, also providing access to the contents.
NOTE: The refrigerator is not available for all markets.

Standard auxiliary lights are halogen type, located on the elevator (two) and the cooling package (two). For optimum brightness on the wagon, add the optional LED auxiliary light kit.

User-friendly, and quick to locate, the CommandARM control center is home to every operating feature needed for a simple yet productive day. That includes hot keys for all common harvesting adjustments as well as air conditioning, radio (if equipped), and lighting controls. Navigate through the CommandCenter system screens using the navigation control knob located on the CommandARM.

HYDROSTATIC BASECUTTER AND CHOPPER MAXIMIZE EFFICIENCY AND PERFORMANCE
The CH570's basecutter and chopper set the benchmark for cutting and feeding in the global market. The standard 251-kW (337-hp) engine option has the basecutter and chopper on one high-pressure hydrostatic circuit driven by a powerful piston pump maximizing efficiency. The 280-kW (375-hp) option includes an additional piston pump so that the basecutter and chopper are in two independent circuits, increasing the capacity to process the heaviest cane.

The basecutter is driven by a powerful hydraulic piston motor. Its center-driven design with just four gears, balances the load and reduces wear, and is housed in a more robust cast-iron gearbox.

The basecutter features large, standard 61-cm (24-in.) disks that can be upgraded to 55.9-cm (22-in.) steel disks to allow dirt to flow through in muddier conditions.

Contour basecutter height control is a factory option that adjusts the basecutter height to achieve a predetermined cane stubble height.

Once cut, the CH570's rotating, standard three-paddle closed buttlifter kicks the cane stalks up into the feedroller path and removes excess dirt before it enters.

This option will allow more dirt removal than the current three-paddle closed option.

CHOPPER
The modular chopper assembly is independent from the harvesters main frame, providing a better fit and easier service. It sits on rubber mounts to absorb vibrations.

The chopping area is larger with longer blades and contact is even through the whole length.

Simpler service, longer component life, uniform higher quality billets, and better feeding into the primary cleaning chamber are the results.

A powerful, hydraulic-piston motor drives the 380-mm (15-in.) differential chopper fitted with either six, eight, or 10 95-mm (3.75-in.) blades. The externally mounted bearings are simple to replace. The chopper shafts have no splines to wear, and they can easily slide out from the side for service. The chopper service door is International Organization for Standardization (ISO) compliant. The external timing system has no chopper gearbox cover to remove, so oil contamination risk is eliminated. An on-board tool and position indicator allows precise adjustments in a fraction of the time required for traditional timing systems.

Eight-blade and 10-blade overlap choppers are also available, increasing the life of the blades in most conditions and simplifying removal and replacement.

The blades are 910-mm (35.8-in.) long or 6.3 cm (2.5 in.) longer than previous model.

APPROXIMATE BILLET LENGTH
Six blade - 230 to 250 mm (9 to 10 in.)
Eight blade - 180 to 200 mm (7 to 8 in.)
Ten blade - 150 to 180 mm (6 to 7 in.)

SILL ROLLER
An exclusive sill roller helps to feed the cane billets into the primary extractor. Even billet movement augments cleaning. It also prevents billet back-feeding and accumulation on the sill.

EFFICIENT CLEANING SYSTEM DELIVERS CLEANEST CANE EVER
The CH570's reliable cleaning system yields the cleanest cane in the industry. Cleaner cane, less billet loss, and less downtime will bring more profit.

The CH570 boasts the largest primary extractor fan in the industry using four blades that measure 152 cm (5 ft) in diameter. This fan cleans at lower speeds, reducing horsepower consumption and cane losses. The fan speed can be adjusted effortlessly from the cab to adapt to the different cane conditions by simply varying the pump displacement. The fan is driven by a robust and efficient hydrostatic system with piston pump and motor.

The fan is mounted directly to the motor shaft, which means no bearings, no blade balancing, less vibration, and fewer components. The motor drive support system features four rubber-mounted legs to improve fan stability and reduce vibrations. The primary extractor fan's motor is internally mounted and does not need to be removed for transport.

The conical hub cover reduces air voids and recirculation while the wide-design blade produces more airflow at lower rpm. The hard-surfaced blades combined with operating at a much lower speed results in significantly longer blade life.

The smart power primary extractor feature is available to automatically reduce the extractor fan speed to a preset minimum when the elevator is turned off.

ELEVATOR
The CH570 features a high-capacity, structural tube-frame elevator for extended durability. The elevator's perforated floor allows additional dirt to fall through after primary extraction. The top and bottom idler sprockets reduce wear and prolong the elevator's chain life.

The tall sidewalls and 18-cm (7-in.) reversible slats will handle the heaviest cane, keeping billets from toppling over and falling back down the elevator. All of this sits on the CH570's heavy-duty swing table, designed to withstand the heaviest loads and toughest field conditions. The swing table also features an exclusive slew wiper to keep the area clean.

The elevator hoses are routed inside the solid frame, promoting longer life by improving protection and minimizing exposure. Bolt-on elevator extensions are also available to provide additional reach for wider row spacing. The extensions are 30.5 cm (12 in.) for wheel or track units; and 61 cm or 86 cm (24 in. or 34 in.) for track units only. The 61-cm (24-in.) extension can be ordered for wheel harvesters but it requires the less-secondary-extractor option.

On the CH570, the elevator controls were moved from the floor pedals to the multifunction control lever for ease of operation. The control switches feature a double detent system so that the elevator swings approximate 90 degrees without having to depress the switch continuously. The above will help the operator to concentrate on other functions when turning around on the headland while the elevator is rotating.

The CH570's elevator also has a grease cylinder for easy elevator chain tension adjustment and a nitrogen accumulator to minimize shock loads.

The secondary extractor provides even more cleaning prior to loading. Its unique design allows trash to be blown away from the wagons more efficiently. The hood rotates a full 360 degrees, so it can be set at any angle.

The hydraulically adjustable bin flap directs billets into the wagon. The ideal fan speed allows the best cleaning with low horsepower consumption. For growers who burn cane, a less-secondary-extractor option is available.
