Name: Kincaid 8XP Plot Combine
-
Description:
This machine is used to harvest grain crops.
The combine has two detachable heads that allow it to directly harvest small grains and beans, or 30 inch row corn.
The grain is mechanically separated and stored in a grain tank as the unwanted stems and husks are spread on the field behind the machine.
This combine is sized specifically for small plots.
The Kincaid is also fitted with a moisture sensor and grain scale system.
This system allows the operator to continuously harvest plots while recording data for test strips within the
plot.

2021-10-22 Harvest Corn Micro-plot harvest. Harvested GLBRC G1 corn from the micro-plot area, all reps, (plus corn stover, and minus corn stover micro plots)(west and east side of all plots). Harvested with the Kincaid plot combine. For each micro-plot all six rows were harvested (the six rows on the west and east side of each plot were harvested). The middle two rows of the six row micro-plot area was reported as the micro-plot yield. Plot weight and moisture were obtained from the on-board Mirus Harvest Master computer/software weighing system.
2022-07-22 Harvest Harvested the LTER Main Site N-rate Study (Irrigated and non-Irrigated Resource Gradient) wheat. For each plot, a 5' wide strip the length of the plot was cut using the Kincaid combine. Moisture content and weight was determined by using the on-board Mirus system.
2022-11-09 Harvest Harvested corn in the CE study. CE1 plots (108, 202, 304, 401) and CE2 plots (112, 210, 312, 402). For each plot two rows of corn (5' wide) were harvested for yield using the Kincaid plot combine. Moisture content and weight were determined by using the on-board Mirus system, and verified with the FSC Dickey John. Equipment Used: Kincaid plot combine and small grain truck. Equipment Used: JD S660 combine and small grain truck.
2022-10-11 Harvest Harvested soybeans from the LTER, CE3 plots (105, 207, 301, 403). Four rows of soybeans were harvested from the middle of the east side of the plots. Plot weight and moisture content were obtained from the on-board computer/software weighing system, (Mirus software by Harvest Master, Juniper Systems). These weight and moisture data were then verified using the FSC Dickey John.

2023-11-13 Harvest Corn Micro-plot harvest. Harvested GLBRC G1 corn from the micro-plot area, all reps, (plus corn stover, and minus corn stover micro plots)(west and east side of all plots). Harvested with the Kincaid plot combine. For each micro-plot all six rows were harvested (the six rows on the west and east side of each plot were harvested). The middle two rows of the six row micro-plot area were sampled and tested for moisture with Dickey John grain tester. Plot weight and moisture were obtained from the on-board Mirus Harvest Master computer/software weighing system.
2023-11-18 Harvest Harvested corn from the LTER Main Site N-rate Study (Resource Gradient, Irrigated and non-Irrigated). For each plot two rows of corn (5' wide) were harvested for yield using the Kincaid plot combine. Moisture content and weight were determined by using the on-board Mirus software. Grab samples of the grain from each plot was collect for the lab. Rows 2 and 5 were harvested out of each plot on 12/8/23 to double check the data of the main harvest. Equipment Used: Kincaid plot combine and small grain truck. Cleaned-up (harvested) remaining corn rows of corn on December 11th, 2023. Equipment Used: JD S660 combine and small grain truck.
2023-11-18 Harvest Harvested corn from the LTER-FSC variety trail. For each plot two rows of corn (5' wide) were harvested for yield using the Kincaid plot combine. Moisture content and weight were determined by using the on-board Mirus software. Equipment Used: Kincaid plot combine and small grain truck. Cleaned-up (harvested) remaining corn rows of corn on November ?, 2023. Equipment Used: JD S660 combine and small grain truck.
2023-11-30 Harvest Harvested corn in the LTER T8nt plots, all reps. Harvested 3 passes within each plot with Kincaid Plot Combine. Total number of rows harvested per plot: 6. In rep 1 only 2 passes were harvested. A total of 4 rows were harvested in that plot. One pass was previously harvested for set up testing of Kincaid Plot Combine. Length of each row harvested: 130 feet. Row spacing of harvested corn: 30 inches. Plot weight was obtained from the on-board Mirus Harvest Master computer/software weighing system. Moisture and test weight of samples was taken with the desk top Dickey John at the FSC. Plots were cleaned up and finished harvesting remaining corn with JD S660 combine the same day.
