Save fuel. Eliminate crop spillages. Reduce downtime. Do more this harvest with our latest automation techniques. It all starts with the John Deere Operations Center app. You can view combine grain and fuel tank levels, monitor the position of all your machines, and see how much grain is left to harvest. This lets you accurately schedule trailers for Just-in-time unloading. Machine Sync connects combines and trailers in their own wireless network for faster, more accurate unloading without stopping. As the trailer approaches the combine, the combine operator takes control of the tractor, syncing its speed and controlling its steering for perfect unloading. Auto Unload uses auger-mounted cameras. These allow the operator to move the position of the trailer back and forth for even filling and a full load every time. Grain Harvest Weight Sharing uses sensors on the grain trailer to display the trailer weight so you can track the amount of grain as it's unloaded. It even shares real-time weight data across the fleet to optimize harvesting and logistics. Eliminating the need for visits to a weighbridge, it reduces logistical bottlenecks. No 2-way radios, no phone calls or text. Our harvest automation technologies reduce stress and improve efficiency. Do more with John Deere.
