Record harvest informationįurthermore, yield documentation enables producers to record harvest information from on-machine weight-based, harvesting operations. Patterns may also use, “manually entered guidance line track spacing to synchronise application controller spacings,” he adds. The new functionality also, “provides up to 10 user-defined patterns with associated reference points including grid (90-degree, equilateral triangles, alternating rows, integrated angels), parallel lines, fence posts and plot pattern,” says Spaumer. The John Deere enhanced AIG also enables Distance Trip to create headland furrows in ditch irrigation, equidistant post holes for fencing operations, and plot-based alignments for seeding and spraying operations based on segment length. Key changes to iGrade and Distance Trip include iGrade compatibility with up to 3 scrapers with elevation and slope control.

Key improvements to Application Controller 1100 include: Recently, both the John Deere Application Controller 1100 and Application Controller 1120 were replaced with a new version of the hardware. With the new upgraded John Deere AIG both the machine and implement are operating on the A-B line. Compaction and crop disturbance are to be reduced as AIG keeps the implement and tractor on the same guidance path. Precise seed placement is to provide a straighter path for subsequent passes throughout the season. Risk is also minimised when seed is planted with AIG, claims John Deere.

The ability to turn the implement steering mechanism manually in tight spaces through simple fingertip controls.Īll of these benefits result in, “more uptime for the equipment – and an operator who is more alert throughout the day,” says Spaumer.Freeing the operator to look for obstacles such as rocks, washouts, or holes caused by broken tile lines.Closer monitoring of parts, enabling proactive – rather than reactive – maintenance.Other operator benefits of John Deere’s enhanced AIG include: John Deere says this system is optimal for first-pass applications like pre-season nutrient dressing, tillage, planting and seeding, or strip-tilling and should lead to better crop quality and improved yield. In addition, passive AutoTrac Implement Guidance allows machinery to travel off guidance lines, “meaning that no steering mechanism is needed to keep the implement on the intended path,” says Spaumer. Execute optimum passesĪccording to the manufacturer, using AutoTrac and AIG together greatly reduces the strain on the operator because the system accurately guides the implement to execute optimum passes, or accurately distribute seed or fertiliser by placing, “industry-leading implement control at the operator’s fingertips,” says Spaumer. Moreover, AutoTrac assisted steering system paired with AIG allows operators to be more productive by allowing them to focus on tasks other than steering, says John Deere. Premium Subscriber Functionalities requires an auto-renewable in-App Purchase of $.With the new upgraded John Deere AIG, “producers no longer have to worry about the final crop quality as both the machine and implement are operating on the A-B line,” says Wayne Spaumer, Product Specialist for Precision Agriculture, Sub-Sahara Africa at John Deere.
