John Deere is rolling out a series of updates for its model year 2027 sprayers, and many of the changes reflect direct customer feedback. “We are hyper-focused on listening to the needs of the customer and addressing those needs through the technology solutions that we offer,” said Josh Ladd, John Deere’s Marketing Manager for Application Equipment, to the Farms.com Precision Agriculture Digital Digest. “At the end of the day, customers are using our products to effectively manage weeds.” One of the updates farmers will notice is the See & Spray Gen 2 platform. This platform is available on model year 2027 John Deere 408R, 410R, 412R, 612R, and 616R sprayers. As well, all Hagie sprayers will now have the option for factory installed See & Spray Premium. Hagie sprayers are manufactured by Hagie Manufacturing Company, but the brand is owned by John Deere and produced in partnership with John Deere’s dealer and support network. See & Spray uses cameras, processors, and AI (artificial intelligence) to detect weeds and make targeted applications to help farmers efficiently manage their weeds while reducing products applied and improve yields. Previously, customers had to choose between Select, Premium, and Ultimate versions. Deere has now consolidated those into a single, customizable See & Spray offering. “We have merged those options into a singular offering that will now simply be See & Spray,” Ladd relayed. “As customers are working with their dealers to add the technology to their operation, there is still opportunity to customize.” Customizable options for customer now include single- or dual-tank configurations, boom lighting for nighttime applications, and nozzle systems such as ExactApply or Individual Nozzle Control Pro. Gen 2 also supports a wider range of crops including wheat, barley, canola, edible beans, milo/sorghum, sugar beets, and peanuts. Variable Rate capability, which was previously only available on See & Spray Select, is now part of the Gen 2 platform. 06 PHOTO: John Deere “WE ARE HYPER-FOCUSED ON LISTENING TO THE NEEDS OF THE CUSTOMER AND ADDRESSING THOSE NEEDS THROUGH THE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS THAT WE OFFER.” NEW SPRAYER TECHNOLOGY FROM JOHN DEERE Deere is bringing customers a simplified and unified See & Spray Gen 2 platform.
