Video: NEW John Deere Harvest Automation Features


John Deere is advancing harvest automation for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

Tim Ford with John Deere explains two key features of the Ultimate Tech Package—Predictive Ground Speed Automation and Harvest Settings Automation.

Predictive Ground Speed uses paired forward-facing cameras and satellite vegetation data to automatically adjust combine speed based on crop height, lodged areas, and predicted yield, even in dusty conditions.

Harvest Settings Automation allows operators to set limits for grain loss, foreign material, and grain quality, while the system makes real-time adjustments to maintain those targets.

These innovations deliver up to 20% higher productivity, improved fuel efficiency, and consistent grain quality across varying field conditions.
