John Deere introduces the new GreenStar™ 3 family of displays: The GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display and the GreenStar™ 3 CommandCenter™. These displays are capable of running applications such as AutoTrac™ and Swath Control Pro™. In addition, select models are now designed with new video capability.

The GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display features a faster processor, increased memory, and touch-screen and video capabilities. The GS3 CommandCenter™ is a standard feature of the new IT4 8R Series Tractors and also available with an optional touchscreen.

"This is an exciting addition to our product line and incorporates many of the features customers have told us they want in a next-generation display for their equipment operations," says Audrey Bartlett, product manager for John Deere Ag Management Solutions. "We’ve improved the capabilities of the display, made it easier to read in sunlight and added many other features that improve its functionality and application with other implements and machines."

Key features of the GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display include:

• Faster processor and additional memory
• ISOBUS connectivity
• Video capabilities
• Access Manager functions
• USB data transfer
• Improved field locator functionality
• Standby mode
• Reduced bezel for increased visibility in the cab

"The GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display has been designed to meet the needs of producers today and well into the future, no matter what colour or type of equipment they use," says Bartlett. "It has a user-friendly touch-screen interface and the ISOBUS compatibility allows operators to view and control many implements simultaneously. Customers may use one display with many types of implements and different controllers for a wide variety of precision farming applications on the farm."

In addition, the USB port makes it more convenient to access data as well as update, service and expand the applications of the system.
