John
Deere’s new 6250R
tractor, featuring the award-winning CommandPRO joystick and an AutoPowr
transmission,
will be operated with a 5200-litre
capacity R952i trailed sprayer equipped with
the innovative PowrSpray wet system in the event’s
outdoor demonstration area. The 6250R develops up to 300hp
with Intelligent Power Management and is fitted as
standard with JDLink telematics, including remote display access (RDA)
and wireless data transfer (WDT) linked to the MyJohnDeere.com website
portal.
CommandPRO’s functionality allows the tractor to be
controlled from top speed to zero with a simple push or pull of the joystick.
Both this and the conventional tractor pedals can be operated at the same time,
and there is no need for an external ISOBUS joystick as the driver can also
operate the tractor and ISOBUS functions simultaneously.
PowrSpray
features a unique dual-circuit design with two solution pumps, each optimised
for a specific function. A 1200-litre/min filling pump offers fast fill of the
solution tank at low engine speeds, to reduce noise and fuel consumption.
Automatic filling shut-off and the ability to rapidly power fill the 400-litre
clean water tank are both standard features.
The
industry exclusive Active Pause function enables the solution tank to stop
filling while still providing clean water under high pressure for rinsing out
chemical containers. This means the typical race against the filling solution
tank is eliminated, and operators have all the time and clean water they need
to complete chemical filling without stress.
A
1000-litre/min spraying pump delivers high output and exceptional spray
accuracy. Automatic control of tank agitation and fully automated multi-cycle
rinsing and dilution functions are also standard features of PowrSpray.
Indoors at
the show, the emphasis will be on John Deere’s latest FarmSight
services and support, including features such as RDA, WDT and Service Advisor
Remote, which are now widely available from John Deere dealer specialists. All
of this technology is designed to increase
productivity and reduce cost, especially when paired with other
FarmSight systems such as AutoTrac automatic steering and Section Control for
sprayers and spreaders.
John Deere
sees the future of farming in connectivity, making the most of machine, field
and agronomist data in the decision making process. The company is pioneering
the use of such data based around MyJohnDeere.com and a range of connected machines and
systems.
The
Operations Centre in MyJohnDeere.com serves as the central online location
for farmers and
contractors to
connect to their machines and their fields. It also allows a wide range of
partners to provide additional support to customers, including implement manufacturers,
agricultural input suppliers, software companies and agricultural service
providers such as crop advisors and other specialist consultants.
The latest apps make it very easy to keep track of machinery,
get advice on seed and fertiliser rates or spray requirements and monitor machine
productivity by working together with, and being connected to, the dealer, farm
adviser and other suppliers.
For
example, the new MyJobConnect service includes a MyJobsManager app for farm or
fleet managers and contractors, and a MyJobs app for operators. There is also
an additional app in the MyJobConnect Premium service called MyLogistics, which
is an intelligent ag navigation app.
This latest
John Deere connectivity package is designed to free up time for farmers and
contractors to focus on their core business, and makes the complete work process
including job planning, work orders, data recording, customer invoicing and
reporting much easier, faster and more efficient.
