Precision Ag Technology enables you to monitor performance and maximize productivity
Connect Mobile actual rate map and pressure map in split screen gives the operator deeper understanding of machine performance
Connect Mobile overview
John Deere Connect Mobile is a solution that utilizes an Apple® iPad® tablet in the cab that provides the operator a better understanding of the sprayer’s performance. Connect Mobile documents and displays several sprayer performance attributes, helping the operator monitor and more easily detect problems that can occur while spraying. Connect Mobile also has a common user interface that makes it easy to use between different pieces of John Deere equipment. Once the job is done, the iPad with the spraying data can be utilized to perform basic crop scouting activities in the field.

Monitor key performance indicators in map layers and dashboard tiles such as:
- Actual rate
- Rate deviation
- Pressure
- Ground speed
- Droplet size
- Target rate
- Flow rate
- Tank volume
- Productivity

Greater fuel efficiency and lower cab noise with CommandDrive™ powertrain
Experience fuel saving and noise reduction with CommandDrive
With the CommandDrive powertrain, save fuel, reduce cab noise, get improved traction in challenging conditions, and cover more acres per day. CommandDrive offers the operator an Auto Mode that automatically directs the engine to run at the lowest rpm necessary to maintain ground speed and hydraulic functions and to meet the demands of the solution system.
CommandDrive also allows operators to adjust the aggressiveness of acceleration and deceleration and features an Auto Idle system that reduces engine speed to 900 rpm when the machine is in park. It all adds up to:
- 20 percent or greater fuel savings
- More acres sprayed per day, thanks to fewer fuel stops and improved traction in rough conditions
- Reduced in-cab noise levels by 3to 5 decibels
- Fewer demands on the operator
CommandDrive is base equipment on all 408R, 410R, 412R, 612R, and 616R Sprayers, as well as 400R and 600R Dry Spinner Spreaders.
John Deere Connected Support™ prevents downtime and efficiently resolves issues with revolutionary technology-based solutions
Connected Support technology
When you buy John Deere equipment, you expect reliability. You also know that problems can happen, and a product is only as good as the support behind it. That’s why John Deere equipment is prepared with technology that senses potential issues and can alert you and your dealer promptly—in the cab or anywhere you are.
John Deere Connected Support is a revolutionary change to support that leverages technology and the connectivity of JDLink™ telematics to prevent downtime and resolve problems faster. These tools decrease downtime by an average of 20 percent, enabling faster responses to unexpected problems and reducing technician trips to your machine. For some issues, unplanned downtime can even be prevented altogether through prediction of the issue.
With your permission, John Deere Connected Support:
- Keeps you running by monitoring machine health and promptly alerting you and your dealer of issues
- Saves time by remotely viewing in-cab displays, reducing trips to the machine
- Reduces or even eliminates technician trips to a machine through remote diagnostic and remote software reprogramming capabilities
- Connects experts with the information needed to respond to downtime faster and prevent it altogether
With more than a decade of experience leveraging connectivity to solve problems, no one else has the experience, tools, and knowledge to keep you running as John Deere and your John Deere dealer can. Connected Support is an in-base feature on all John Deere products with factory- or field-installed JDLink.
Simple turnkey experience with the StarFire™ 7000 Integrated Receiver
StarFire 7000 Integrated Receiver on John Deere 400 and 600 Series Sprayers and 800R Floaters
The StarFire 7000 Receiver is the latest addition to the suite of Precision Ag Technology from John Deere. The StarFire 7000 Receiver offers greater accuracy, faster pull-in times, and season-to-season repeatability. This means less hardware, faster times recovering from a shading event, and the confidence that your guidance lines and boundaries do not shift from year to year. The integrated design further enhances the value that you have come to expect from StarFire products.
Similar to the StarFire 6000 Integrated Receiver, the StarFire 7000 eliminates all setup, installation, and calibrations. There is no need to verify machine and receiver measurements, as this has been done precisely for you at the factory. You will spend 60 minutes less per receiver move each season, which gives you more time to focus on other parts of your operation.
With updated Ethernet connectivity, software updates are easier and faster. StarFire 7000 Integrated Receiver maintains the speed to update software in under 4 minutes while remaining in the cab. Over-the-air updates are 85 percent faster with the StarFire 7000 Integrated Receiver because of Ethernet connectivity.
Benefits to the StarFire 7000 with SF-RTK
- 5-year repeatability
- 10-minute pull-in time
- 2.5-cm (1-in.) pass-to-pass accuracy
- Drop-in replacement for StarFire 6000 Integrated Receivers

Wide spread widths are available with the New Leader® Dry Spinner Spreader
Spread width up to 32 m (105 ft) with the DS20
DS30 Dry Spinner Spreader
The DS20 and DS30 provide up to 32-m (105-ft) spread widths and the adjustable spinner assembly allows for quick, accurate settings during variable-rate applications, broadcasting materials farther and wider with consistent spread patterns, and producing industry-leading productivity.
Depending on product a F4365 with 1.38-m (54-in.) spinner height, can achieve spread widths from 18.92 to 27.43 m (60 to 90 ft), but with the increased clearance of 1.74 m (68 in.) the 400R and 600R Dry Spinner Spreader can achieve spread widths from 21 to 32 m (70 to 105 ft). Added spread width increases the number of acres per day and decreases the number of passes, which also reduces fuel costs and compaction.
By maintaining spread width, operators can consistently place product throughout the fields and prevent bottlenecking of product at the row end.
With a full spread pattern and reduced overlap through integrated technologies such as AutoTrac™ automated steering and John Deere Section Control, the 400R and 600R Dry Spinner Spreaders allow for full product coverage while reducing input costs from overlap.
Additionally, by combining the John Deere 400R or 600R Dry Spinner Spreader chassis and the New Leader dry spinner spreader, operators can maintain spread widths even when rpms are reduced. John Deere's pressure-and-flow-compensated hydraulics allows operators to maintain spinner speed throughout each pass, while maintaining consistent spread width and pattern. This added height allows a greater trajectory at a lower spinner speed and has the ability for later season applications.
NOTE: With differences in fertilizer density, size, and crush strength a spread pattern test is the only way to measure a product's true spread width and pattern.
