Improving Accuracy With The John Deere GPS PrecisionSprayer

Mar 07, 2019

With the new John Deere GPS PrecisionSprayer, available exclusively on the John Deere ProGator line, customers have the option to accurately and consistently get their job done while reducing input costs and operator fatigue. This new machine offers features such as AutoTrac, shareable coverage maps, and individual nozzle control to make the task at hand easier to complete.

“The GPS PrecisionSprayer offers an innovative solution that allows our customers to be more productive and accurate when maintaining turf,” said Brooks Hastings, product manager, John Deere. “John Deere boasts over 20 years of GPS experience, which was vital when creating the GPS PrecisionSprayer. We were able to leverage our knowledge of GPS technology to develop a solution that supports our customers, increasing productivity and accuracy, and reducing labor and material costs.”

GPS PrecisionSprayer technology also allows customers to create coverage maps, which can be shared across multiple machines. This eliminates overlap and increases overall productivity. The ability to electronically capture all spray data and analyze the results streamlines documentation and provides robust analytics. Automated documentation also eliminates the need for manual recording and increases the accuracy of recording spray event information.

With spring just around the corner, let’s take a closer look at the ProGator 2030A GPS PrecisionSprayer and the ProGator 2020A GPS PrecisionSprayer to see exactly how they can help you out in the field.

Flip Up Seats

Both of these models include seats that are designed to flip up when necessary to keep them clean and dry when not in use.

Hydraulically Actuated Front and Rear Disk Brakes

These models have hydraulically actuated front and rear disk brakes for plenty of stopping power. The braking system consists of four 7.5-inch disks, which are cast from vibration-resistant grey iron and four identical single-piston floating calipers.

Engines

The ProGator 2030A GPS has a Tier IV compliant engine with a rerouted exhaust muffler, while the ProGator 2020A GPS has a powerful 34-horsepower automotive grade EFI gas engine for heavy duty work.

Zero Grease Points on Two-Wheel Drive
Both of these machines have zero grease points with sealed bearings for a smooth ride and less maintenance. Filling the brake fluid is also quick and easy, and requires no tools.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
