With John Deere’s 600D Draper, 70 Series STS Harvester and Precision Ag solutions you can achieve more than you thought possible. Electronically document important field operations and yield data for next year’s planning, run your harvester late into the night with less fatigue and run your fields at faster speeds – all while saving fuel, time and money.

As a John Deere combine owner, you can take advantage of Harvest Monitor™ yield monitoring, Harvest Doc™ yield mapping, Apex Desktop Software, AutoTrac™ Assisted Steering and RowSense™ (for corn) guidance systems. These systems help to maximise your return on investment.

The GreenStar™ Harvest Monitor™ allows you to view measurements of yield and moisture of crop as it is harvested. The Harvest Monitor™ is displayed on the CommandCenter™ which is conveniently located on the CommandTouch™ armrest. This system can easily be upgraded to a GreenStar™ Harvest Doc™ system at any time with the addition of a GreenStar™ display.

Harvest Doc™ is the next generation yield mapping system from Ag Management Solutions (AMS) and is available as a field installed option on all John Deere 70 Series Combines.

GreenStar™ Harvest Doc™ uses the Harvest Monitor™ to supply the yield and moisture information to the system. This system allows you to:

• Record yields, moisture, and productivity on-the-go
• Store information and download data onto a personal computer to create comprehensive yield and moisture maps
• Create productivity reports of fields and operations to help better manage inputs and make better management decisions

Apex is the solution you can use today to improve your tomorrow.

When it comes to agricultural field data, many management decisions are based on historical trends. By using Apex, you can visualise farming practices and productivity of past years and use that information to make important decisions for the next production year and beyond. The intended outcome of such decisions is not only to maximise profit but to maximise efficiency and become more environmentally safe.

Historical Apex data can help you:

• Enhance and maximise crop productivity
• Minimise input costs
• Optimise soil nutrient levels
• Compare hybrid/variety productivity
• Identify, analyse, and control pest infestations and more

AutoTrac™ is a GPS based assisted steering system that automatically steers the combine through the field. Using the StarFire iTC™ receiver and GreenStar 2™ display you'll get hands-free steering, scalable to the level of accuracy your operation demands… from +/- 33 centimetres pass-to-pass all the way to +/- 2.5 centimetres with our StarFire™ RTK system.

Increased machine efficiency:

• Consistently cutting the full width of the platform
• Reduced grain loss
• Improved hectare-per-hour combine performance

Reduced operator fatigue

• Enhanced comfort during long harvest hours
• Easier operation in reduced-visibility (dusty) conditions

AutoTrac™ RowSense™ is the exclusive fusion of GPS and mechanical feelers to accurately assist when harvesting corn. When the mechanical feelers cannot sense the corn stalk the GPS can accurately anticipate where the row will be. It is the complete integrated solution between the harvester and corn head which provides the most precise and responsive guidance system in the industry.
