Take a closer look at John Deere RTK Networks

Improved efficiency, reduced input costs and higher productivity – if you’ve ever thought about Real Time Kinematic (RTK) before, now is the time to take a closer look. John Deere RTK Networks now cover over 215 million acres across North America, with more base stations going up each day.

The most exciting aspect of our dealer networks is that the RTK signal is more reliable and accessible to you, no matter your size, location, and crop practice. "Our fields are spread out; about 12 to 14 miles from each extreme and distance between our fields. At no time during the planting season did we lose signal on any of the fields," said Brian Smith of Portage La Prairie, Manitoba. Furthermore, by sharing the signal you can simultaneously run multiple equipment from different locations, at the same time, depending on your network's coverage.

With John Deere dealer-run base stations you...

• Get 12-mile line-of-sight signal distance
• No longer need to purchase your own RTK base stations
• Save time and money by not having to maintain and move the station
• Can rely on consistent 24-hour, reliable coverage

With greater accessibility, more of you are making the move to sub-inch accuracy and the reasons are quite clear - RTK gives you a real advantage in the field; less fatigue, reduced overlaps, widened operational windows, cut costs, and increased yields. "It's suitable for most operations. I think almost all row crop people could use the system but also those in the grain business too," said Brian Smith. "As air seeders and sprayers and all the equipment gets larger and of course with fuel costs going up it's more important and more critical to do the minimum amount of passes and be the most efficient with every pass and this system allows that."

Once you witness the advantages of RTK and RTK networks, it's easy to see how it can instantly start paying you back. Visit your John Deere GreenStar™ Certified dealer today to learn why more of your friends and neighbors are tapping into the power of John Deere RTK networks.
