John
Deere’s latest utility and large horsepower tractors and FarmSight
precision farming technology
for 2017 will be featured for the first time on stand G17 at LAMMA next
January, following their recent European launch. In addition, the company’s
brand new, top of the range 6R Series tractor will be making its UK show debut.
New XUV & HPX Gator utility
vehicles are now available ex-factory fitted with Datatag’s CESAR
security marking and registration system as standard,
with models from the range also on show at Peterborough.
Alongside the new 5R, 6R and 8R Series tractors will be a number
of developments linked to the Operations Centre in MyJohnDeere.com, the
company’s dedicated precision farming website portal. The MyJobsConnect Premium
service includes MyJobsManager and MyLogistics apps for farm, contract and
fleet managers, and a MyJobs app for operators.
All
of this new technology is designed to improve performance and uptime as well as
lower operating costs, especially when paired with other FarmSight systems such
as AutoTrac automatic steering and John Deere Section Control for sprayers and
spreaders, utilising the newly designed StarFire 6000 satellite receiver.
FarmSight services and support are now widely available from John
Deere dealers throughout the UK and Ireland. A special ConnectedMachine display
at LAMMA will highlight the benefits of JDLink connectivity for both new and
older machines, using features such as Remote Display Access, Wireless Data Transfer
and Service Advisor Remote to increase productivity and reduce operating costs.
“The integration of intelligent solutions
with farm equipment is a key element of John Deere’s FarmSight approach,” says
John Deere Limited marketing manager Chris Wiltshire. “Over the last six years
or so, the number of AutoTrac activations has almost trebled. This reflects the
rapidly growing demand for tools that can enhance machine utilisation, optimise
the logistics chain and provide support for the decision making process on
farm.
“Our LAMMA display will show how simple it
can be to keep track of your machinery fleet, get advice on seed and
fertiliser rates or spray requirements and monitor machine productivity by
working together with, and being connected to, your dealer, adviser and other
suppliers.”
Also
featured at LAMMA, the new 8R Series flagship 8400R 400hp tractor offers six
per cent higher pulling capacity compared to the 8370R model. This will enable
operators to pull wider implements in the field, to increase productivity and
maximise total fluid efficiency. By converting 91 per cent of its rated
horsepower, the 8400R has been designed to set a new industry benchmark with
regard to pulling performance.
The
tractor’s new John Deere 9-litre Stage IV compliant engine develops up to 450hp
with Intelligent Power Management (IPM). In addition, the e23 transmission with
Efficiency Manager delivers a reduction in fuel consumption of up to two per
cent compared to the officially tested and proven fuel efficiency of the 8370R.
From
2017, John Deere 7R, 8R and 9R Series tractors will benefit from enhanced
connectivity and integration into the John Deere FarmSight range of precision
farming solutions. The new StarFire 6000 satellite receiver features enhanced
SF1 signal accuracy from 23 down to 15cmp; a new SF3 signal with 3cm path to
path accuracy, in-season repeatability, faster signal
acquisition and a one-year subscription; plus an updated RTK/mobile RTK
option. A new optional locking device for better theft protection will also be
available.
At
the other end of the tractor scale, John Deere’s compact 5R Series tractors
from 90 to 125hp feature a one-piece curved frame design with a low centre of
gravity and a turning radius of only 3.75m, even when fitted with a front
loader such as the new 543R. Features include front axle suspension and an air
suspended seat, plus an optional cab suspension system.
The
range’s Stage IIIB 4.5-litre John Deere PWX diesel-only four-cylinder engine
produces 10 extra hp for transport applications. Three transmission options
include the new 32/16 Command8, with eight powershiftable gears and an ECO mode
enabling a top speed of 40kph at only 1759 engine rpm, plus automatic shifting
as standard.
