Rantizo Connects AcreConnect Software with John Deere

IOWA CITY, IA  – Rantizo, the largest drone spraying network in the country, announces its proprietary AcreConnect productivity software is now connected with the John Deere Operations Center through the John Deere API services. This connection allows Rantizo to significantly enhance the value of AcreConnect by enabling spray drone operators to easily share application maps with customers on Operations Center.

“AcreConnect is the only provider of as applied and as covered maps for both DJI and XAG spray drones, so we are excited to bring this valuable data to growers and retailers through John Deere Operations Center,” said Mariah Scott, CEO. “We’re building a software ecosystem that makes it easier for our operators to deliver top-notch service to their customers.”

Using AcreConnect with Operations Center allows operators to share ‘As Covered’ and ‘As Applied’ Maps directly with customers. This ensures that spray records are included with other application information and field data, giving growers and retailers a more comprehensive view of their operations. This holistic approach to data management facilitates better decision-making, leading to improved operational efficiency and productivity.

“Connecting AcreConnect to the John Deere Operations Center truly supports our promise to deliver better service,” said Jeff Holman, Chief Product Technology Officer (CPTO). “Both independent operators and those at retail locations, stand to gain significant value from their ability to share application data directly to a grower’s account.”

Video: Kubota Narrow Tractors Compared | B2401, L3520 & L4802 Side by Side


Kubota is one of the only manufacturers in the U.S. market offering a purpose-built lineup of narrow specialty tractors, and all three models are worth understanding before choosing one for a tight-row application. The B2401 comes in just over 35 inches wide at 24 horsepower, making it the entry point for nurseries, greenhouses, and Christmas tree farms where row width is the primary buying criteria. The L3520 steps up to 35 horsepower and 39 inches wide, bringing a fully synchronized transmission exclusive to this model, a more refined operator platform, and significantly more three-point hitch capacity at roughly double the price. The L4802 tops the lineup at 48 horsepower and 53 inches wide but uses a non-synchronized transmission and comes in $300 less than the L3520, making the mid-range machine the most compelling option for many buyers who can work within its capacity limits.
