New John Deere 400 and 600 Series sprayers with See and Spray Select advanced spraying technology have been launched.
An all-new line-up of Hagie self-propelled sprayers, designed to help manage challenging field conditions, also comes to market and will include three models.
Key updates have also been made to air seeding tools including the addition of the John Deere RelativeFlow Blockage detection system, TruSet In-Cab Downforce adjustment and Quick-Change Blades.
John Deere Australia and New Zealand managing director Luke Chandler said the release delivered on-farm results through innovation.
“Our focus has always been, and will continue to be, to lead the development of technology that supports farmers in achieving more with less,” he said.
Three new 400 (408R, 410R and 412R) and two new 600 (612R and 616R) Series sprayers have been introduced to deliver enhanced operator comfort, high-quality application and the most machine uptime possible with tank sizes ranging from 3000 to 6000 litres, depending on model.
Prioritising quality spray application, the new boom recirculation feature ensures liquid solution is kept in suspension, so the boom is always primed and ready to spray. The air purge system enables improved cleanout, to save time and reduce waste.
Factory-installed John Deere AutoTrac keeps the sprayer in the row for precise product placement, while John Deere ExactApply technology means operators can more accurately control droplet size, spray pressure and individual nozzles. Optional BoomTrac Pro 2 further hones spraying accuracy by maintaining the boom’s position.
John Deere 400 and 600 Series sprayers have the fuel-saving CommandDrive powertrain that reduces engine revolutions to save fuel while maintaining a consistent speed and spray pattern.
To ensure farmers can leverage the power of their data, the sprayers come standard with a JDLink connection, integrated StarFire GPS receiver, Generation 4 CommandCenter display and free access to the John Deere Operations Center, allowing customers to easily view and monitor their equipment and data.
Key updates for the model year 2022 line-up of air seeding tools will see proven John Deere technology rolled out across more models.
New features include the addition of the John Deere RelativeFlow Blockage detection system to help farmers ensure product is being accurately and evenly distributed during seeding.
TruSet In-Cab Downforce adjustment allows settings to be changed from the Generation 4 Display and eliminates the need for the operator to make manual downforce adjustments.
It improves seed-to-soil contact, plant emergence and maturity, and helps operators to maximise uptime in the field compared to manually adjusting downforce at the tool.
John Deere will offer an enhancement to its popular ProSeries Openers with the addition of new Quick-Change Blades which can reduce the time it takes to change opener blades by up to 45 per cent.
