Exploring The Intelligence Behind John Deere Connected Support

Jan 17, 2019

The importance of agronomy continues to grow, and as it does, more John Deere customers are turning to connected support to gain further insight into their work. John Deere offers connected support to its customers specifically to provide a closer look at everything from soil to machinery on the go.

Let’s take a moment to examine how John Deere connected support can help with field management and ensure that producers are making the most of their time out in the field.

Machine Monitoring

One of the biggest benefits of connecting a machine to John Deere is that customers can monitor alerts from their machine remotely. This means that they do not need to be sitting in the cab to gain insight into its diagnostics and make sure that everything is running smoothly.

Monitor Fuel Level and Idle Time

Fuel levels and idle time can also be monitored from afar when a John Deere machine is connected. This gives operators the information they need to ensure that their machines are being utilized as efficiently as possible.

Dealer Connectivity

When a piece of Deere equipment is getting connected support, this means that dealers can quickly access and monitor alerts coming from this machine. In the event of a problem, they can help diagnose the issue at hand and get equipment up and running as quickly as possible. Dealer connectivity also means that software updates can be easily applied from the dealership as needed on the go. In the event of troubleshooting, a dealer can provide operators with insight from afar and help them reduce downtime as well.

JDLink Connect

Agronomic data from in-cab displays can be used outside of equipment through JDLink Connect. JDLink Connect allows operators to connect to their machines when they’re away from the field. With this asset, operators get a steady, automatic flow of agronomic data between all of their devices and machines. As the importance of agronomy continues to grow, tools like JDLink Connect are making life easier in a number of ways for operators when they can’t be out in the field.

Video: Air Command Section Control for Pro-Force Spreaders

This patented section control system uses air to divert material on to different areas of the spinner disks for precise 4-section control, for an economical design by eliminating the need for added conveyor belts or movable spreader components. The section control uses the Raven RCM ISOBUS controller and a customer’s field boundary and coverage map to automatically turn off any of the four sections at any time to avoid applying valuable fertilizer in areas where it’s not needed.

This results in fertilizer savings which means more money in your pocket for a maximum Return On Investment. The powerful blower fan sends air through a 4-section manifold while the conveyor automatically speeds up or slows down as sections are turned on or off for consistent and precise fertilizer application.

• The revolutionary patented Air Command section control utilizes a pneumatic system to accurately place fertilizer onto the spinner disks to give you individualized 4-section control of your spread pattern.

• Pinpoint accuracy of four individual sections allows you to operate the system with ease. This robust design with few moving parts offers no gimmicks, just real-world results.

• The new Air Command section control option is available on pull-type models 2250 and 1850 with the new PTO drive system, and on 1450, 1250 and 1050 pull-type models with standard single hydraulics.

• Continue to do it all with the Unverferth pull-type Pro-Force Spreader. Use the Air Command section control for spreading fertilizer and in-seeding applications, while converting to single-section lime or litter application in a matter of minute
