Go for the maximum with JDLink Ultimate.
It does everything Select does, plus provides a comprehensive view of engine diagnostics, and adds monitoring of fuel consumption, gear selection, component pressure and temperature, and full-featured diagnostic-information retrieval.
Here are some reasons why Ultimate is the ultimate:
- Monitors service status and advises of scheduled maintenance.
- Empowers through the ultimate level of alerts, warnings, and location and maintenance tracking.
- Full-featured diagnostic trouble codes.
- Monitors all essential machine vitals.
- Reports to you 24/7/365.
- You can view all the data recorded and displayed by machine type on the JDLink Ultimate Data chart.
- Comes standard with three years of service on all new John Deere forestry machines.
You can set the allowable operating times and days for a piece of equipment using the curfew feature.

You can easily draw a geofence around a machine so you can be alerted should the machine travel outside its virtual boundary.

One of the many useful data charts in JDLink Ultimate is fuel level and average consumption rate.

Dual-mode option
JDLink Ultimate now offers dual-mode service via cellular or satellite communication as an option. With dual-mode, JDLink will still connect via cellular connection unless a connection cannot be established. Then, JDLink will switch over to satellite mode. A machine communicating via satellite mode will report hours, location, alerts and many other Ultimate data sets. Call-in frequency for a machine communicating in satellite mode is once per day. Red alerts and geofence violations are sent immediately, just like when in cellular coverage.
