Johnny walks through the cab of a John Deere corn harvester, showing how satellite guidance, improved visibility, and new controls make harvesting easier and more comfortable. The new cornheads are designed to handle corn more efficiently while the operator stays in a better-designed space.
Wow. I thought the tractor was impressive, but this. This is amazing. Look at all this glass. Now, Johnny gave me a tour of the outside. Can you let us know what's going on inside this cab?
Well, first thing I got for you is this.
Oh, what is this?
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner in here? Yeah, 16 hours a day. I gotta have something to eat.
I mean, seriously, you could put. You could put a refrigerator right here under this here.
Let's just get harvesting right up.
Yeah. First thing I need do I need to adjust these mirrors. I. I feel like the things are a little bit different in here than they were in the tractor. Are the controls in a different location or something?
Somewhere?
Wouldn't it be easier if we just had these controls match the controls in the tractor?
I'll take a middle note.
Okay. Man, this is impressive. Okay, now, I'm assuming I need, like, unobstructed view so I know exactly what I'm doing.
Yeah, the more this you see, the better.
Great.
Definitely.
Okay, so how many rows are we picking?
12.
12. Now, is that the largest corn head that John Deere makes?
Yeah, right now? Yes.
Is that a hint? Okay, well, let's just say that John Deere made another four or six rows on this header. Would that. Would that let you do a lot more in a lot less time?
Oh, yes, definitely.
I bet it would. Okay, what do we need to do?
Make sure your seat belt's fast. Check and turn the key.
Okay. Right on. Here we go.
Ready to pick some corn? Yeah. Hit that parking button over there. Put your hand on the handle. Start going forward slowly.
All right, here we go. Whoa, we're moving.
Yeah. Hit number two there.
Hitting the number two.
Now you just engage Rosense. Johnny Rosense took to the 2630 display. And that Starfire 3000.
What'S that doing for me here?
That's staring it.
This is. This really is amazing. We've got a satellite in space moving this thing across this field, keeping us in line right now. I mean, what else we do is kick on the MP3 player, grab a sandwich, ready to do some pick, Sam?
