Why Every Farmer Needs a Weighing System on Their Chaser Bin

Introduction

If you’ve ever wondered whether your chaser bin could do more than just haul grain, it can! With a weighing system like the OWL12 Kit from Load Sensors Australia, you can turn your bin into a smart, efficient tool that helps you make better decisions during harvest.

What Is a Chaser Bin Weighing System?

Chaser bin weighing systems are designed to accurately measure grain weight during harvest. By integrating load cells into the bin’s structure, these systems deliver real-time weight data directly to your tractor cab. This eliminates the need for weighbridge trips and allows seamless integration with farm management software for logging and analysis.

Advantages

Let’s see their advantages below:

• Precision That Pays Off:
  The OWL12 Kit includes four heavy-duty OWL12 load cells (available in 2t, 3t, or 5t), a stainless-steel junction box, and a weight indicator with a rechargeable battery. This setup gives you real-time weight data, so you’ll always know exactly how much grain you’re moving. No more guesswork, no more overloads.

• Harvest Smarter, Not Harder: 
  Knowing your load weight helps you plan better. You can optimize truck loads, reduce trips, and even track yields more accurately. It’s a simple upgrade that can save time, fuel, and frustration.
  
  

• Built for the Field:
  The OWL12 load cells are IP67-rated and designed to handle side and angular loading which is perfect for rugged farm conditions. The indicator runs on 12V DC or AC power, making it compatible with most vehicles.
  
  

• Versatile & Expandable:
  Whether you’re using 6 or 8 load cells, or weighing tanks, silos, or hoppers, the OWL12 Kit adapts to your setup. You can even choose between stainless steel or wireless indicators to suit your needs.

Final Thoughts

Installing a weighing system on your chaser bin isn’t just about numbers, it’s about control, efficiency, and peace of mind. The OWL12 Kit makes it easy to upgrade your operation and harvest with confidence.
