HARVEST TEC 300SS Moisture Only Kit for Small Square Balers Instruction
Manual
Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a Harvest Tec Model 300SS moisture only kit. Please read this manual carefully to ensure correct steps are taken to attach the system to the baler. This applicator is designed to read moisture through an Apple iPad. A parts break of the system is located in the back of the manual.
System Requirements
Made for iPad® running the current iOS operating system *iPad is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries. 300 Series Applicators with serial number before THS07000 will require the THS to be sent to Harvest Tec for a required update in order to use the iPad Integration Module (030-6670C).
Hay App version must be at least 2.7.1 (or higher) to operate with the iPad Integration Module (030-6672C)
Tools Needed
- Standard socket set
- Side cutter
- Crescent wrench
- Metal drilling and cutting tools
- Standard screw driver or 5/16”
- Hose cutter
- Hammer
- Center Punch
Installation of iPad Integration Control
Locate a safe location in the cab of the tractor to place the iPad Integration
Control (030-6672C). Recommended location is securely fastened out of the
operators way in a location that is close enough to
reach with the iPad cord.
Connect the Power / Communication harness (006-6650TM(E)) to the bottom of the
receiver.
To operate the applicator, plug the iPad cord into the communication port
indicated by:
iPad Integration Control Light Signals
Green Slow Blink – Power supplied to the applicator system and the unit is
going through its startup process.
This will take approximately 25-35 seconds.
Green Double Blink – Indicating the iPad module recognizes the iPad but the
app is not open or connected.
Green Solid Light – Module is connected to the app and is ready to operate.
*Recommended to use the USB cable included with the applicator kit (006-6672USBC)
Bluetooth Receiver Lights
Pre-2020 applicators’ equipped with Bluetooth receivers (030-6672B) are now
equipped with lights to indicate both power and Hay App connection on the
Apple iPad. Clean light regularly Blinking Lights – System is waiting for the
processor to connect, which could take up to 35 seconds.
Red Light – The Bluetooth receiver has power.
Green Light – The Bluetooth receiver is connected to the Hay App.

wireless performance.
Installation of the 300SS
Locate the controls package. Select a mounting location for the Three Hundred
Series (THS) control box (006- 3671SS) easily accessible that is away from
moving parts and access panels. Check before drilling to ensure nothing will
be damaged on the opposite side of the THS. After selecting the location for
the THS, use the THS as a drill guide and mark the four mounting holes.
Drill the four mounting hole locations to 3/16″ (5mm) in size. The locations
shown in figures 1 and 2 are examples of mounting the THS on the twine box
(looking at the back of the baler). Use the supplied 10/32 x 3/4″ Phillips
flathead machine screws, NY lock washers and nuts to mount the control box.
Installation of End of Bale Sensor
Mount the 006-7400 sensor to the mounting bracket 001-4648SI for AGCO as shown below (Figure 1). Case IH, New Holland, & John Deere and other balers will use bracket 001-4648SS. Mount the assembly on the right side of the baler chamber. The face of the sensor needs to be parallel to the arm attached to the needles (Figure 2). Mark and drill two 3/8” (10mm) holes. Install the sensor using two 5/16” x 1“ Allen head bolts, locks, nd nuts. The end of the sensor needs to be no greater than 1/4” (7mm) away from the needle arm. Tighten nuts on sensor after adjustment.
Installation of Star Wheels
The pair of star wheels will need to mount on the bottom side as close to the
front of the bale chute as possible and at least 3/8″ (10mm) away from any
metal. They will need to maintain a safe distance away from the twine.
The star wheels will require two holes to be drilled per block, when drilling
make sure to keep the wheel square to the bale chamber. Any angle will cause
stress on the wheel and will eventually cause the wheel to work itself out of
the block. Some balers may require a notch cut on the bottom of the bale
chamber to mount the star wheels as close to the front of the chamber as
possible.
Use the supplied bolts and place the carriage head inside of the bale chamber
followed by lock and nut. Next attach the star wheels to the bolts followed by
flat washer, lock washer and nut.
First, remove the cover from the star wheel block and use a 1/4″ (7mm) nut
driver to remove the nut from the electronic swivel. Next, run the star wheel
sensor wire through the black grommet and place the eye terminal on the star
wheel sensor. Tighten the eye loop with the nut on the sensor and put the star
wheel cover back on the base. Next, tighten the grommet to form a tight seal
around the wire. Once the star wheel connection is complete, run the harness
along the baler frame to the Three Hundred Series (THS) controller.
Wiring Diagram 300SS
- Connect the power harness (006-3650T) to the tractor battery (12 volt) using the red wire with fuse to the positive side and the black wire to the negative.

- This unit will not function on positive ground tractors.
- If the unit loses power while operating it will not keep track of accumulated pounds of product used.
- The power harness on the tractor (006-3650T) will run from the tractor battery to the hitch. The power harness on the baler (006-3650B1) will connect to the tractor power harness (006-3650T) at the hitch.
- Connect the keyed power wire (006-5650K) to a keyed power source on the tractor. The keyed power wire must connect to a keyed source or the unit will not power up correctly.
- Attached the iPad Integration Control (030-6672C) to the tractor power harness (006-3650T).
- Attach the End of Bale (EOB) connection on the controller to the End of Baler Sensor (006-7400).

Installation Instructions
- Identify 12V power source for wires to connect.
- Eye loops included if wiring directly to the battery is desired.
- Test for key power source if preferred to have power to the USB shut off with the key.
- Once power source is identified, cut wires to desired length.
- Crimp the two supplied quick connectors onto each the white and black wire.
- Remove the round locking plastic nut from USB plug before connecting the wires. Black (+) White (-).
- The wires will then be hooked to the designated terminals on the bottom of the USB plug
- Drill a 1 1/8” hole in the preferred mounting location. Be sure to clean any sharp edges after drilling.
- Feed the wires through the mounting hole.
- If using the round plastic nut to secure plug in place, slide the nut back over the wiring before connecting the wires to powered source.
- Connect the wires to the identified power source if easier to do so before tightening the plug into place.
- Tighten plug using either the round plastic nut or mounting plate and two screws, both options supplied.
- Once connected, hook a USB charging cord into the plug and connect a mobile device/tablet to ensure the plug is operating as you wish (key power working properly if necessary).
NOTE: This plug is not designed to charge two iPads. System damage could occur if this is attempted.
System will charge a mobile phone and iPad simultaneously without problem.
