About

Case IH Accumulator

Features
Read full description

This mobile application has three functions for use with the Case IH Bale Accumulators. 1. Planning Mode: Operators or farm managers can use it to plan where they want their bales ejected on the field and then send it to other operators if running multiple Case IH Accumulators. 2. Eject Mode: Use your phone or tablet’s GPS and Wifi Connection to eject the bales automatically in the locations predetermined in the planning mode. 3. Remote Control Mode: Use it as a remote control to move any function of the machine for last bale eject from baler, service or maintenance. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life
