TWO NEW AUTOTRAC SYSTEMS AVAILABLE FOR DEERE SPRAYERS

To help ranchers all the more precisely drive between lines amid postemergent applications, John Deere is presenting AutoTrac Vision and AutoTrac RowSense. 

"As a result of field landscape, grower float, or sporadic planting without direction, splashing in column harvests can display challenges for sprayer administrators making postemerge applications," says Doug Felter with John Deere. "These two new direction applications help sprayers track all the more precisely between the columns, bringing about lessened product harm, less administrator weariness, and more powerful field applications." 

With AutoTrac Vision, a monocular camera is mounted on the front of the sprayer to distinguish and control between columns. The framework has been tried and affirmed for use in corn, soybeans, and cotton planted in 30-inch columns. AutoTrac Vision works best when the harvest is no less than 6 inches tall, and it can be utilized until there are 3 inches of soil appearing between columns or up to 90% shelter conclusion. 

For applications later in the developing season, ranchers can settle on AutoTrac RowSense, which can be utilized as a part of corn that is no less than 4 feet tall planted in 30-inch lines. This framework utilizes a sensor paddle mounted on the sprayer wheel to distinguish crop columns and cow the machine down the focal point of the line. 

"While these two sprayer direction frameworks are totally isolated and are to be utilized each one in turn, both have performed well in an assortment of field conditions and yields," clarifies Felter. "Both mechanized vehicle guiding frameworks permit the administrator to splash at speedier paces with minimal manual directing to cover more sections of land every day with less harm to crops." 

John Deere AutoTrac Vision and RowSense are accessible as field-introduced packs or from the industrial facility on new John Deere R4023, R4030, R4038, and R4045 sprayers. GS3 AutoTrac RowSense initiation is required.
