Farm Smart profit more. You can make that happen now with our 6R. Simply load a prescription map that you have created with an external partner, select the machine attachment and operator, then send the work order to the Gen 4 display on your 6R. Once you enter the field, all it takes is one click and you're ready to go. One click Go Auto Setup transmits the required settings to the fertilizer spreader via isobus and the spreader adjusts itself fully automatically. Section Control automatically switches sections on and off and by avoiding double fertilization leads to significant savings in spreading. Section Control and Variable Rate Control application take place with the integrated Gen4 tractor display. Variable Rate Control enables fertilizer to be applied as needed. According to the application map on the 6R, the basic functions for site specific farming such as JDLink, AutoTrack preparation, the operations center and one click go auto setup are standard. That's how you can monitor the work progress live, know when the job is done and spot any deviations between planned and actual application right away. All data is transmitted wirelessly back to the Operations center in real time via JDLink for documentation and are available in real time on all devices.
