Start baling earlier and run longer
Making dairy quality hay in arid areas of North America has always meant waiting for the softening effects of dew moisture. Now, with Harvest Tec's Dew Simulator ™ , you can double or even triple your baling time each day, starting earlier and running longer, and still make high quality hay. No more waiting for the dew. Now you can make your own.
The Dew Simulator reintroduces moisture into dry windrows much the same way that dew happens naturally — from the ground up. With moisture droplets the same size as natural dew, the Dew Simulator produces consistent, uniform results.
Effective in just 10 minutes
The Dew Simulator's long tines are cam driven so they enter and exit the windrow straight without disturbing the hay. Valves actuate the tines so that water is delivered only when the tines are within the hay. At 2500psi the spray is delivered in a fine mist that evenly coats the hay throughout the windrow beginning at the bottom and moving up.
Producers have discovered that wetting hay with a spray boom does not penetrate the windrow. Harvest Tec's patented process along with its specially formulated softening solution allows baling just ten minutes following application. | |
| For best results... |
Making your own dew can greatly extend your baling time. Simply start up the Dew Simulator in early evening and run it until the natural dew comes in. Then, run again in the morning when the hay begins to dry out.
The economics of harvesting quality hay
It is well known that hay experiences significant nutrient loss when harvested at low moisture content. Yield and leaf loss are greater the longer hay lays in the field exposed to the elements.
The added value of getting the job done
The Dew Simulator lets producers and harvesters reintroduce moisture into alfalfa in a way that is close to the effect of natural dew, penetrating the windrow, and working to soften hay quickly. How much value can you save in the hay? $50 per ton? $80 per ton? What price can you place on just being able to stay on schedule?
What can you expect?
Harvest Tec has developed the Dew Simulator to the point where its results are more predictable and consistent than natural dew. It has been tested extensively in a variety of harvest conditions throughout western states, and is now in full market production |
