Field Preparation

Automation and guidance

Ready to improve your productivity and profitability thanks to John Deere’s GreenStar technology? Use AutoTrac automated guidance for all your operations and optimize your passes. Boost your profitability and efficiency by 10% to 20% (according to various academic studies) while simplifying driving operations for all your operators. Enjoy this technology no matter the age or brand of your equipment.

Are issues with implement drift behind your tractor affecting your profitability? Add a StarFire receiver to your AutoTrac solution to get tool guidance and perfect tool positioning!

Two solutions are available:

• Passive guidance, which allows you to correct tool drift by modifying the tractor trajectory
• Active guidance, which maintains the perfect trajectory both for the tractor and the tool!

To improve your efficiency and conduct all operations flawlessly (even with less experienced operators), you need Turn Automation technology. It performs perfect turns at headlands and handles all critical turning operations (driving speed, hydraulic valves, lifting) on every turn!

Telematics

Telematics includes the following technologies:

• Equipment usage information
• Equipment health monitoring
• Equipment optimization
• Automatic data backup to the cloud
• Remote connection and information sharing between machines.

Connect your displays (2630, 4200/4240 and/or 4600/4640) to the cloud with the help of JDLink technology. Promptly view your data from your desktop computer or mobile device and prevent any data loss. Plus, view equipment information including location, performance, settings, fuel consumption, and more.

With the help of this data, you can make enlightened decisions and improve your equipment’s productivity. Your equipment will also transmit active error codes, allowing you to reduce the impact of any issues that might occur during your operations. You can also grant us access to this data so that our field teams can assist you faster than ever before.

Use JDLink to instantly manage your precision agriculture data and equipment fleet without the hassle!

What is TruSet?

TruSet allows you to rapidly adjust your working depth and/or the force of various components of your soil working equipment including disks, teeth, rollers, and more. Adjust your equipment quickly and efficiently according to the different soil conditions, without ever leaving the cab.

With TruSet, you can:

• Maximize your yield potential by adjusting your equipment to your field’s changing conditions
• Independently adjust your machine’s various components such as disks, teeth or rollers, with an accuracy of 2.5 mm (1/10 in)
• View your equipment’s information (working pressure) in real time and save it for future use
• Use a prescription that will vary the adjustment based on your field’s various zones
• Adjust from the cab in just 6 seconds
• Eliminate the process that requires 20 to 30 minutes for each adjustment
• Reduce the need for repeated passes thanks to increased accuracy
• Optimize the use of tractor power and use fuel more efficiently
• Optimize work hours within a short window with good field conditions

Decision-making support

Tillage is the foundation of your yield potential: it must be done in the right conditions to avoid compaction, at the right depth to be effective, properly bury residue, and prepare the seedbed evenly to ensure uniform germination and emergence.

Our decision support solutions allow you to make informed decisions based on accurate and readily available information. You will be able to plan your work, create and send tillage prescriptions and analyze performance or conduct comparative trials of different tillage methods.

Optimization of operations and equipment

To get the full return on your investment, you must optimize the performance of your equipment (tractor and tillage machine). Optimized equipment is equipment that is well maintained and well adjusted to field conditions.

Our tools allow you to analyze performance, plan your maintenance, adjust equipment to conditions, and track equipment performance and work progress.
