AutoTrac™ Vision uses a front-mounted camera to see early-season corn, soybeans and cotton at least 4 to 6 inches high. An industry exclusive from John Deere.

This guidance system helps sprayer wheels stay in the center of each row and dramatically reduce yield-robbing crop damage, even if planter drift causes misalignment or the AB line from planting isn’t available at spraying.

You can spray faster with less fatigue – especially valuable in tight application windows. Increasing sprayer speeds from 14 up to 18 mph (22.5 to 29 km/h) can allow an operator to cover more than 20% more acres every day. Plus, both systems dramatically reduce yield-robbing crop damage.

This helps sprayer operators of all experience levels do their jobs with higher productivity because they can better focus on other things besides steering.

Each guidance option features its own unique input system. It detects the location of the crop in the row and then signals AutoTrac™ so it can steer the sprayer wheels precisely between the rows.

Couple with AutoTrac™ RowSense™ for reliable guidance in later-season corn. Isnt it time to control your Row Rage? See C&B Operations for details. Performance that pays.

Achieve critical accuracy of in-field operations

As equipment gets larger and margins tighter, accuracy of in-field operations and input placement is more critical than ever.

When making a pass in a field, traveling from one end of the field to another, the position accuracy of the return pass is critical. Pass-to-pass accuracy means the planter guess rows will be accurate and subsequent passes are less likely to result in crop damage.

Repeatability defines how accurately the receiver calculates its position over a relatively long time window.

John Deere Modular Telematics Gateway (MTG)

John Deere Mobile RTK allows producers to farm fields miles apart or in rolling terrain without the need to switch towers. This ensures boundaries and guidance lines will not shift if the incorrect tower is selected. The John Deere Mobile RTK system leverages differential corrections delivered via cellular technology to achieve RTK accuracy and repeatability. The MTG on the machine connects to the JDLink cellular network that provides the machine access to the  internet.  RTK corrections are then sent via the internet to the machine.

NOTE: John Deere Mobile RTK is supported with the 18-1 MTG software update, enabling machine-to-wireless feature of MTG 4G LTE as a network connection method.
