John Deere Products Win Big AT THE 2018 AE50 Awards

This year, John Deere won several AE50 awards from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE). For more than a century, the organization has been recognizing those who find sustainable solutions in their respective fields.

 

Deere excelled in the agricultural industry, with a handful of its products making the list of winners.

 

The 5R Series tractors from John Deere offer 90 to 125 horsepower for tasks of all sizes out in the field. They also feature fully electronic transmissions, cabs with extensive visibility, and Deere’s AutoClutch™ system.

 

The AirRinse Sprayer Rinsing System can deliver multiple gallons of spray solution per acre, covering an ample amount of ground in less time.

 

With BalerAssist™, operators can easily and quickly clear the plugs of their baler without having to leave the cab. It also makes it simpler to access service points.

 

The goal of the ExactApply™ Nozzle Control System is to give operators a solution that improves the coverage and control of spray applications. It has a 30 hertz-pulsing Pulse Width Modulation system, as well as automatic A/B nozzle switching from the sprayer cab. Operators also have the option of turning off individual nozzles, and smart diagnostics improve, monitor and document sprayer applications directly at the nozzle.

 

Expert Alerts provide remote machine monitoring and send notifications directly to John Deere dealers. The goal is for them to be able to spot potential issues and provide solutions to customers, ultimately reducing downtime. Expert Alerts are now factory-installed on all new Deere self-propelled equipment and can be installed on late-model machines.

 

These machines are specifically designed to give operators the ability to strategically place bales where it is most efficient for later removal. This can reduce the damage to soil from excessive field travel.
