Anyone use an Acu-Grain yield monitor?

I'm hoping to find a used one but will buy a new one before next harvest if I don't find one. Number of rented acres is increasing and can pay for the thing just off the saved trips to town and back weighing the semi each load to keep shares fair. If an Acu-grain can be calibrated and used correctly to stay within 5-8 bushels to the hundred, I'd be tickled. Machine is a 1420, so don't want to spend a bunch because it will have to be upgraded in a year or two. Found an AgLeader YM2000 monitor the other day reasonable but had no harness or sensors and that's where you can go broke buying that stuff new. Just wondering if anyone had used the AcuGrain. There was a post here few years back but didn't tell me
Much.
 
I have one that came in a TR85. Two switches are bad, and I messed around with it before harvest but ran out of time to get it going this year. I am planning to get it going for next year. It's pretty simple, after you calibrate it with a load or so to the elevator I bet it would be pretty close.

Was a discussion over at newagtalk.com this early fall I believe, few folks said they would trust a yield monitor to do landlord splits. Easy to lose calibration, and can sorta be manipulated if one wanted to......

Be interesting how your landlords feel about it. If all family or friends might be ok.

I'd say they would be fine with it. Some farms my family has rented for 30-50 years from 2 or 3 generations and have always done it just by estimating truckloads. I don't like that and have been weighing trucks that come off of rented farms since I took over, but would like to get away from that. Will move to a cart with scales and my next combine will have a more accurate monitor for sure.
 
Any yield monitor has to be calibrated regularly to be very accurate. I do mean regularly. Most of the guys around here have asset of scales on their grain cart. They check/set the yield monitor daily. As the crop conditions change the monitor needs to be calibrated. If you don't do that they can be 10-30 percent off real quick.
