Speciality farming
On John Deere premium machines, you can benefit from the
top-of-the-line guidance performance and responsiveness of
integrated AutoTrac. Additonally, with a 6R tractor you can
go as slow as 0.1 km/h. And you can have a similar
experience with your smaller John Deere tractors or
machines of other brands by utilising ATU.
Crop damage can be totally eradicated by teaming up
AutoTrac with RTK accuracy and John Deere Active
Implement Guidance so that the steerable implement follows
the tractor path exactly.
Working with John Deere Section Control adds even more
precision, reducing input costs by up to €16.9 €/ha*.

Perfect repeatability: RTK
John Deere Green AG management solutions are configured
to work seamlessly together to provide you with the
precision you require. For the highest possible levels of
accuracy, nothing outperforms RTK, which eliminates any
possibility of GPS drift.
And it’s repeatable. So it makes easy work of applications
where the highest precision is required year after year –
for example if growing high value crops.
John Deere Agricultural Management Solutions | 11
RTK the easy way
You may find that a dealer-run RTK network is your best
solution. Because renting a usage licence from your dealer
eliminates the need to invest in your own base station. That
means you immediately benefit from your dealer’s
experience with RTK and you can forget about potential
maintenance issues.
Mobile RTK. The simple solution for challenging locations
Instead of a fixed base station, the Mobile RTK correction
signal is generated via mobile phone technology. This
provides unrivalled and repeatable accuracy virtually
everywhere, even in scattered fields and in hilly terrain.
It works with any machine equipped with a StarFire 3000
receiver and our Mobile RTK modem. The open modem
permits the use of third-party signals – your dealer can
provide full details.
RTK Extend. Bridging the gap
RTK Extend maintains RTK performance even during
temporary line-of-sight interruptions, such as working under
a line of trees. RTK accuracy will be maintained for
15 minutes after losing base station signal, as long as your
StarFire 3000 receiver has been powered up for at least one
hour. And if you’re operating beyond RTK availability, there’s
a cost-free SF2 signal to fall back on.
How Mobile RTK takes
accuracy to the extremes
The satellite GPS signal is
processed together with
geophysical correction data
generated from a countrywide
pool of existing base stations,
so there’s no need to own your
own. Machines equipped with
the John Deere Mobile RTK
modem receive the centrally
calculated correction signal
via the mobile phone network.
And it all works regardless of
terrain or geographical diversity.

Machines and productivity on track: John Deere guidance solutions
John Deere pioneered machine guidance systems and we
have continued to innovate ever since. The benefits are
self-evident: lower fuel costs, reduced fertiliser and
chemical usage, higher productivity and profitability. And
considerably less stress for the operator.
We offer a complete range of integrated guidance systems,
from simple manual control to fully automated. If yours is a
mixed fleet, we also offer solutions for other brands so that
you can still enjoy the benefits of John Deere guidance.
John Deere Agricultural Management Solutions | 17
The way to higher productivity
John Deere guidance solutions not only make life easier,
they also bring higher levels of productivity easily within
your reach. With John Deere AutoTrac, for instance,
the incidence of skips and overlaps is minimised, so that
input costs and fuel consumption are reduced, while the
work-rate is increased. Depending on the application
you can expect input savings of up to 8 %* and up to
14 %** increase in productivity.
Because precision is assured, tasks can be completed
in a shorter time (or at night) always with the same level
of accuracy. The operator, relieved of the stress and
fatigue of steering, can concentrate on implement
management and performance, all good news for the
productivity of your operations.

Co-ordinated control: John Deere Machine Sync
We know how stressful the harvesting season can be,
especially when unpredictable weather conditions threaten
your operating window. John Deere Machine Sync coordinates the operation of several in-field machines and
enables a tractor to automatically follow a combine during
unloading. Once within range, the tractor will steer and
change ground speed automatically to maintain a constant
distance from the combine and ensure an even grain cart fill.
While waiting at the field edge the tractor operator sees the
exact location of all in-field combines and tractor/trailer
units on his display. Additionally, he sees grain tank levels,
enabling him to quickly determine unloading priorities –
which combine needs to be unloaded next. Unloading can
also be initiated by the combine operator actively calling
an individual tractor/trailer through Machine Sync.

Total accuracy: Active Implement Guidance
When the highest accuracy is an absolute must, Active
Implement Guidance ensures that tractor and implement
follow exactly the same path, ruling out crop damage on
subsequent passes. Essential when growing high-value
bedded or row crops and for strip till operations. It also
avoids accidental damage to irrigation pipes or channels.
The display-controlled system works with steerable
implements equipped with side-shift, drawbar, axle or disc
steering. StarFire 3000 receivers are mounted on both
tractor and implement, translating received signals to
precision on the ground. Straight, curved or circular tracks
can be followed, using RTK or SF2 signals. This Shared Signal
functionality allows two StarFire 3000 Receivers to share
correctional signal in dual-receiver applications and have the
benefits of the higher signal level.

control. Documentation data is easily transferred from the
GreenStar 2630 display to MyJohnDeere to get a quick
overview over your operations and to your desktop software
for more detailed analysis. This enables you to build a solid
foundation for better decision making for the year ahead.
When setting up your equipment, John Deere Implement
Detection saves you time and eliminates errors by
populating all implement settings automatically on your
GreenStar 3 2630 display. Proper documentation is ensured.
GreenStar 2 1800 display
John Deere Documentation Basics on the GreenStar 2 1800 display
enables you to record all key operational details: date, time, operator,
field boundaries, area and location, type of application and overall
amount of inputs.

Your finger on the pulse:
John Deere Field Connect
Moisture levels vary from field to field, plot to plot.
John Deere Field Connect uses field-installed probes to
monitor moisture levels at various depths. It then
sends the information wirelessly to your computer or
mobile device, so you can make timely irrigation
decisions from anywhere.
And with environmental sensors that measure air and soil
temperature, wind speed, humidity, solar radiation,
rainfall and leaf wetness, you’ll know exactly what’s going
on – above the ground and below the surface.

Teamed with John Deere Constituent Sensing, HarvestLab
is the first complete constituent evaluation solution
for farmers, biogas plant operators, feedstock advisors
and nutritionists.
HarvestLab works together with the SPFH in order to
adjust the cut length depending on dry matter content.
This ensures an optimal silage quality. Additionally,
thanks to John Deere Constituent Sensing, livestock and
dairy farmers profit from real-time detection of changes
in feed quality. Based on this information they are now
able to manage the supplementary concentrates level in
a better way.
For biogas producers HarvestLab gives much greater
control over the use of silage additives for higher silage
quality preservation. For contractors it provides
additional capability for new value added customer
services and flexible billing options.
Developed and patented with Carl Zeiss, HarvestLab
uses Near Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy for the simultaneous
measurement of the various constituents of harvested
crops in less than one second. It is certified by the Deutsche
Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft (DLG) for maize silage dry
matter analysis.
John Deere Agricultural Management Solutions | 33
HarvestLab can be used on a forage harvester for documentation of crop
quality whilst the crop is being harvested or operated separately as a stationary
lab providing analysis and value determination for feed rations.
34 | Application Control: John Deere Section Control & GreenStar Rate Controller
No more overlaps: John Deere Section Control
John Deere Section Control automatically turns individual
implement sections on and off at predefined locations
in the field. The system is compatible with all John Deere
implements supporting section control functionality as
well as with ISOBUS-ready implements from other brands.
By reducing product overlap and gaps in the field,
John Deere Section Control enables you to apply exact
amounts of fertiliser, seed and crop protection – where it‘s
needed. As a result you save input cost and increase effiency
while minimising crop damage and environmental impact.
And by avoiding overspray and overplant, John Deere Section
Control also helps to create the best possible growing
conditions for your crops.

Instant field information:
John Deere Wireless Data Transfer
John Deere Wireless Data Transfer enables automatic data
transfer over the air between your GreenStar 3 2630 display
in the cab and MyJohnDeere.com. Time consuming manual
transfer actions with an USB flash drive are obsolete, thus
eliminating the risk of data getting lost, saving you time and
making documentation easy.
Once a field is finished, data such as yield maps or as applied
maps is automatically transfered to the Ag web portal. Vice
versa you can send setup files or prescription maps to your
machines to ensure your operators are ready to start the
next job. With that, Wireless Data Transfer speeds up and
simplifies the whole documentation procedure and also
enables the wireless transmission of data between the
enabled GreenStar 3 2630 display, MyJohnDeere and your
farm management information system.
