Get hands-free harvesting in corn with AutoTrac™ RowSense™
To get every dollar from every hour and every acre, consider some of the options available from John Deere GreenStar™ Ag Management Solutions. The biggest opportunity for corn growers is the availability of AutoTrac™ RowSense™ and AutoTrac™ RowSense™ Universal. Both deliver the accuracy and effi ciency you expect from AutoTrac – even if you’re harvesting in down corn, around terraces, or on pivots. Our system fuses GPS guidance with mechanical feelers, giving you the most precise automatic guidance system for corn in the industry. When harvesting in other crops, add ease and convenience by using the everpopular AutoTrac™ Assisted Steering System. Both it and RowSense are scalable to the level of accuracy your operation demands. And because all 70 Series Combines now come AutoTrac Ready, you can take advantage of guidance effi ciencies with little set up. Keep track of what you’re harvesting with the standard GreenStar Harvest Monitor – view yield and moisture readings on the go. Add GreenStar™ Harvest Doc™, and record yield, moisture, and production details, as well as create maps and reports to help with next year’s planning.
GreenStar™ guidance – Whether it’s you in the cab or a less-skilled operator, a GreenStar 2 guidance system delivers a quick payback. Choose the type of manual or hands-free guidance – and the level of accuracy you need, from 10 inches pass-to-pass, to one-inch accuracy with the RTK system. To make it even easier, all 70 Series Combines come AutoTrac Ready for the best integration in the industry. Documentation – Keeping detailed records is a snap! Every 70 Series Combine comes equipped with GreenStar Harvest Monitor – see the crop’s yield and moisture measurements as it’s harvested. Information is readily displayed right on the CommandCenter™. Capture and store harvest data with Harvest Doc, then download data later into the Apex™ Farm Management Software for future planning.
AutoTrac RowSense –
Reap the reward of a hands-free corn harvest.
AutoTrac RowSense is the next step to pinpoint accuracy in corn harvesting. It fuses GPS data from the StarFire™ receiver with mechanical feeler data gathered from row sensors and enables you to operate hands-free in corn even in weedy conditions, curved passes and downed corn. This system accurately guides the vehicle down each pass in the fi eld using mechanical feelers that are installed on the corn head (either a 90 or 600 Series Corn Head).
AutoTrac RowSense Universal –
Hands-free corn harvesting with widespread appeal.
AutoTrac RowSense Universal brings the same benefi ts of AutoTrac RowSense to older John Deere combines or a mixed combine fl eet. Paired with the AutoTrac™ Universal Steering Kit, this new solution allows less experienced operators to run like a pro. AutoTrac RowSense Universal is compatible with any combine that is approved for use with ATU; check with your dealer for specifi c brand and model information.
