Engaging the John Deere Goseed App For Additional Productivity

Using SeedStar™ can make seeding an easier, more enjoyable experience for producers. With the John Deere GoSeed App, operators can also ensure they are making the most of their equipment while they’re out in the field.

 

 

 

When you first open the app, you will be notified that GoSeed does not replace the operator’s manual. That being said, it is important to read the operator’s manual to learn how to properly use your equipment before deploying any information you use from the app. Once you have done so, you can press “Accept” and move forward.

 

Once you’ve pressed “Accept,” you will see a page that says “Help us help you.” Here, you will be asked to share your data anonymously with John Deere. If you choose “Yes,” you will anonymously provide information that helps Deere identify crashes, bugs and other relevant information to improve and enhance the quality of company products. If you press “No,” you can opt out of this option.

 

After you have made your decision on sharing analytics, you will be welcomed to the John Deere GoSeed App and asked to tell the app a little about your equipment. Pressing “Yes” and opting to do so will bring up a series of questions. First, you will be asked what your air cart capacity is. Then, you will be asked for your air drill model. Afterward, you will be asked for your drill’s working width, and whether you are using a double shoot or single shoot manifold. The app will also inquire about your drill’s row spacing before finally asking you to save your equipment data.

 

Once you have provided your information at the beginning of launching the John Deere GoSeed App, you can begin to take advantage of its other features. The main menu consists of “Equipment Setup,” “Using SeedStar,” “Start Seeding,” “Change Crop,” “Maintenance,” “Safety,” and “Notebook.”

 

The first two options of the main menu will help ensure that you have all of your equipment set up properly. “Using SeedStar,” in particular, will help you operate SeedStar quickly and efficiently.

 

“Start Seeding” gives you all of the information you need to begin seeding, from how to position your closing wheels to how to gauge wheel seeding depth. “Change Crop” will help you prepare for meter cleanout.

Video: Planting Corn with Classic Allis-Chalmers Tractors | Full Field Action

Step into the field for a full day of spring fieldwork as this farm plants corn using classic Allis-Chalmers power near Arcanum, Ohio. In this video, the farm is working ground with an Allis-Chalmers 8050 pulling a Salford field cultivator and Brillion Culti-Packer to prepare the seedbed. Right behind, an Allis-Chalmers 7020 handles planting duties with a 12-row White planter, putting this year’s corn crop in the ground. You’ll see a mix of aerial drone footage and ground-level views capturing all the action, along with a voiceover that dives into the history and legacy of these two Allis-Chalmers tractors. It’s a great look at how reliable, older equipment is still getting the job done during spring planting season. If you enjoy classic farm equipment, corn planting, and real-world field action, this one is for you.
