Turn a Rookie Driver into a Professional Driver with Kooima Ag's new Collab® Light System!
The Collab® lights are on the cutter spout, fender, and header. They automatically change colors based on where the spout is positioned. The Cutter driver doesn't have to do anything extra! When the spout is back, the lights turn green, signaling the truck driver to speed up. When the spout is ahead, the lights turn red signaling the truck driver to slow down.
BENEFITS OF THE COLLAB® LIGHT SYSTEM
• Hands free operation, the Collab™ system does all the work
• Seamless communication between the harvester and driver, eliminates questions or misunderstandings
• Lights create less stress for new or inexperienced drivers
• Lights located on the spout, fender, and header make it easy for the truck driver to know where they need to be
• Even if you have cameras, lights are better at night and in dusty conditions
• Only setup to work on one side of the forage harvester.

Best part about it is that I set my green and red light set points for the automatic feature at the beginning of the season and don't touch it again all season. Let the automatic light feature do the talking to the truckers for you, to speed up or slow down just by moving the spout where you need to fill on the truck.
I can honestly count on one hand during last years silage and earcorn season that I had to grab the 2-way and tell a trucker to pull ahead or backup.
We cut a 5th cutting of hay after earcorn last year and we were in a hurry to switch cutter over, 12 row spout extension off, processor out, ect.ect. We thought it's only 100 acres we're not going to take the time to put light on the short spout extension and hay head. I told trucks to pull ahead and backup more in them 100 acres than I did all silage and earcorn season! Needless to say the lights are on for hay season this year!!
Two new drivers caught on right away, didn't talk to them once on the CB radio.
Drivers watch the one on the header the most. Must keep it on for next year!
