2025 John Deere HarvestLab™ 3000

2025 John Deere HarvestLab™ 3000

• On-the-go measuring of moisture, dry matter, protein, starch, fiber, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, and sugar

• Automatically adjust inoculant dosage based on current dry matter level

• Automatically adjust length-of-cut, on the go

• The HarvestLab 3000 equipped with a turn table ensure a more frequent and more accurate evaluation of the ensiled material before rations are mixed.

• Utilize your HarvestLab 3000 all year long with the dual use capabilities of the Sensor for forage harvest and bunk management with the stationary turn table.

Features may include:

• One sensor, three applications

• The HarvestLab™ 3000 sensor can be used for three different applications:

• HarvestLab 3000 and John Deere Constituent Sensing on a John Deere self-propelled forage harvester (SPFH)

• John Deere Manure Sensing

• HarvestLab 3000 and John Deere Constituent Sensing on a John Deere SPFH

• The HarvestLab 3000 sensor enables an accurate measurement and documentation of dry matter, starch, protein, neutral detergent fiber, and acid detergent fiber in different crop types. For better fertilization planning in the next season, operators can use the HarvestLab 3000 sensor to determine and document the nutrient values taken off the field during harvest. It also helps achieve higher quality forage by enabling automatic length-of-cut adjustments on the go to ensure an optimal bunker compaction and conservation. In addition, the smart use of additives ultimately leads to higher milk yields and more efficient use of feed.

• Measure yield while harvesting

• Accurately determine moisture, dry matter, protein, starch, fiber, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, and sugar on-the-go

• Better determine the value of forage when purchasing for biogas operations

• Dose inoculants based on current dry-matter level

• Automatically adjust length of cut on the go

• Monitor silage quality year-round

• Support daily feed ration calculation

• Determine moisture, dry matter, protein, starch, fiber, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, and sugar within 2 minutes

• Measured data can also be downloaded from the HarvestLab 3000 sensor and saved to a computer for record-keeping purposes or to share with a nutritionist.

• The HarvestLab 3000 sensor allows precise application of liquid organic fertilizer based on target and limit rate. This eliminates over fertilization (causing laid crops) and under fertilization (causing low yields). The system allows calculation of precise prescription maps to fill nutrient levels to the desired target, meaning the producer pays for quality not for quantity. Additionally, it helps to properly determine and document the applied nutrient levels to comply with legal regulations and cross compliance.

• John Deere Manure Sensing enables real-time constituent measurements in liquid organic fertilizers (hog, cattle, biogas)

• Automated and site-specific nutrient application and documentation

• Dry matter, nitrogen, ammonium, phosphorus, and potassium

• Real-time ingredient measurements on-the-go

• Developed and patented with Carl-Zeiss, the HarvestLab™ 3000 sensor simultaneously measures the dry matter and various constituents of harvested crops. The HarvestLab 3000 uses the same near-infrared-reflectance (NIR) technology entrusted and used by most nutrition labs, but produces results instantly and with over 4000 readings per second. This provides producers with not simply one random sample value but statistically solid data on the go.
