JOHN DEERE

John Deere’s leading precision ag technology solutions for arable farmers and contractors are featured on our virtual stand 525 at Cereals LIVE, alongside our latest new products. Making their event debut are the 7R and 8R Series tractors, while the R4150i self-propelled sprayer with new ExactApply nozzle system featuring state-of-the-art pulse width modulation (PWM) can be seen in the online Sprays & Sprayers demonstration arena.

Our new season T- and S-Series combine harvesters offer customers easier operation as well as industry leading throughput, automation and connectivity, with Wireless Data Transfer (WDT) plus Remote Display Access (RDA) offered free for five years.

Especially now, John Deere and our dealer network see the future of farming in connectivity that makes the most of machine, field and agronomy data in the decision-making process and provides full control of the production chain. The company is pioneering the use of such data based around the MyJohnDeere.com website portal and a range of connected machines and systems, supported by expert dealers, to provide increased uptime, higher performance and reduced operating costs.

Investment in a premium connectivity package can provide average savings of over £57/ha from increased productivity and machine efficiency, consistent accuracy, less wear and tear on equipment and typical fuel savings of 10 to 15 per cent, as highlighted by our expanded Fuel Guarantee programme.

The John Deere Operations Centre in MyJohnDeere.com serves as the central online location for users to safely and securely connect to their machines and fields. Additional support is available from third-party implement manufacturers, input suppliers, software companies and service providers such as crop advisors and other specialist consultants.

Connected to satellites with AutoTrac and intelligent Total Equipment Control, customers benefit from automatic guidance and fully hands free steering systems; connected to implements with ISOBUS and Tractor Implement Automation, both machine performance and operator comfort can be enhanced; connected through the mobile phone network to JDLink telematics solutions, users can improve their overall business performance.

RDA, WDT and mobile data transfer (MDT) are also available to connect all-makes machines and ISOBUS implements to the customer’s personalised Operations Centre. With the customer’s approval, John Deere dealers can remotely connect to machines to update software, access diagnostic codes and perform troubleshooting.
