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.
Right and Left sides are determined by facing in the direction of forward travel.
System Requirements
*iPad Mini or iPad 3rd Generation (2012) or newer, running the current iOS operating system
or one version previous required for iPad option
Tools Needed:
- Standard wrench set
- Electric drill and bits
- Side cutter
- Standard nut driver set
- Standard socket set
- Hammer
- Center punch
Bluetooth Receiver Lights
*New for production year 2018. All Bluetooth receivers (030-6672B) are
now equipped with lights to indicated both power and iPad connection.
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 –When the proper active connection is selected in the Hay
App menu, the green light will indicate connection with the iPad.

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, nylock 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,
and 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
1. 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.
a. The power harness must be connected to the battery! The unit will draw more amps than
convenience outlets can handle. Any modifications of the power harness will void systems
warranty. CONTACT HARVEST TEC BEFORE MODIFICATIONS.
b. This unit will not function on positive ground tractors.
c. If the unit loses power while operating it will not keep track of accumulated pounds of
product used.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Attached the Bluetooth Receiver (030-6672B) to the tractor power harness (006-3650T). Mount the
Bluetooth receiver in a safe location as close to iPad as possible in cab.
5. Attach the End of Bale (EOB) connection on the controller to the End of Baler Sensor (006-7400).

Installation Instructions
1. Identify 12V power source for wires to connect.
a. Eye loops included if wiring directly to the battery is desired.
b. Test for key power source if preferred to have power to the USB shut off with the key.
2. Once power source is identified, cut wires to desired length.
3. Crimp the two supplied quick connectors onto each the white and black wire.
4. Remove the round locking plastic nut from USB plug before connecting the wires. Black (+) White (-).
5. The wires will then be hooked to the designated terminals on the bottom of the USB plug
6. Drill a 1 1/8” hole in the preferred mounting location. Be sure to clean any sharp edges after drilling.
7. Feed the wires through the mounting hole.
8. 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.
9. Connect the wires to the identified power source if easier to do so before tightening the plug into place.
10. Tighten plug using either the round plastic nut or mounting plate and two screws, both options supplied.
11. 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.
