OLATHE, Kansas — John Deere (NYSE: DE) announced today the release of a new rate controller, the John Deere Rate Controller 3, an option to control two liquid and/or anhydrous ammonia (NH3) products and up to 16 sections. The new Rate Controller 3 builds upon the strong foundation of precision ag technology components, including the Precision Essentials kit that contains the G5 or G5Plus universal display, StarFire® 7500 receiver and JDLink® M or R modem.
The new John Deere Rate Controller 3 delivers an integrated user experience by featuring a new rate controller app within the John Deere display menu. This app will give farmers a similar experience as operating a self-propelled sprayer with a controller with a built-in base from the factory. With this new experience, farmers can now monitor their planter and rate controller functions on one screen on the display and execute easy adjustments.
