John Deere at the Dairy EventTHE DAIRY EVENT & LIVESTOCK SHOW 2010, NEC, SEPTEMBER 7 & 8New John Deere forager saves fuel John Deere is showing its new top of the range 7950 self-propelled forage harvester for the first time at the 2010 Dairy Event & Livestock Show, as well as new models from the 5M Series tractor range, which are also making their show debut, and the 2010 round baler range. John Deere’s 7050i Series foragers with HarvestLab dry matter sensing and AutoLOC (Automatic Length Of Cut) allow fast, accurate and automatic adjustment of chop length, which increases fuel efficiency as well as delivering optimum silage quality. All models can also be equipped with an engine/speed management system which, when linked to the Pro Drive transmission, provides additional fuel savings. A choice of three modes enables the operator to simply tune the SPFH, at the press of a button, for maximum harvesting efficiency. According to independent tests by DLG and profi in Germany, this system can result in fuel savings of up to 14.7 litres/ha – with the result that the grass crop can be harvested using as little as 0.7 litres of fuel/tonne, which is over 30 per cent less than other machines tested. Taking crop readings 17 times per second, HarvestLab has also been independently verified by DLG to provide +/-2 per cent accuracy. Using the forager’s AutoLOC transmission linked to the HarvestLab system, the operator can set dry matter and chop length information on the in-cab GreenStar 2600 touch screen display prior to work, according to end user requirements. As the forage dry matter within a field varies due to differences in soil, seed varieties and other external factors such as trees on the headlands, AutoLOC automatically adjusts the chop length in 1mm increments based on the preset values, to produce the optimum feed quality from the harvested crop. Mixer-feeder machinery demonstrations John Deere is once again sponsoring the main mixer/feeder wagon machinery demonstration area at the event (adjacent to the John Deere stand, near the event entrance), which this year includes models from JF-Stoll, Keenan, King Feeders UK (for the first time), Shelbourne Reynolds and Harry West, plus the Lely Juno automatic feed pusher. The working demonstrations are designed to provide visitors with an opportunity to compare models from different manufacturers, working under the same conditions. Win a Gator Visitors to the Dairy Event & Livestock Show can enter a prize draw to win a John Deere Gator XUV 850D utility vehicle, worth £11,000, by completing a form printed on the event entry ticket. All completed entries posted in one of the Gator-based competition boxes around the show will be included in the draw, which will take place on October 12. The award-winning 24hp XUV Gator is specifically designed for off-road and rough-terrain use, and features a true four-wheel drive traction system, a dual range continuously variable transmission, all-round independent suspension and a maximum payload capacity of 635kg. |

John Deere innovations at workOne of the primary roles of the newly established European Technology and Innovation Centre (ETIC) in Kaiserslautern is the development of advanced technologies and software and their integration into agricultural machinery, for precision farming applications and the automation of routine machinery operations.At this month’s official ETIC opening, John Deere demonstrated two of its Agritechnica silver award winning systems (tractor-implement automation and extended sprayer solutions), which are already commercially available. In addition, the company presented two advanced guidance solutions for passive and active implement steering, which are designed to bring the highest precision to tillage, seeding and planting operations. Tractor-implement automation Tractor-implement automation enables two-way data exchange between the tractor and more complex implements via an extended ISOBUS system. During operation, the system allows the implement to take command of certain pre-assigned tractor functions to make the operator’s life easier. In the field demonstration, a John Deere 864 round baler tells the tractor when bale formation is nearly complete. It then slows down and stops the tractor, starts the netwrapping process and finally releases the bale automatically before the next cycle begins. Automatic control of tractor functions such as forward speed, hydraulics and pto operation is enabled by the open ISOBUS design, which can also be applied to other makes of equipment. One such application, developed by the Austrian implement manufacturer Pöttinger for a forage wagon, was also awarded a silver medal at Agritechnica in 2009. During operation, the forage wagon slows down or accelerates the tractor depending on the density and shape of the grass swath, which is recorded by a sensor mounted on the front of the tractor. This determines the intake rate of the forage wagon’s pick-up, and results in increased productivity and reduced operator fatigue. Extended i-Solutions for sprayers John Deere has extended its intelligent, innovative and integrated solutions for trailed sprayers by introducing additional technologies that increase productivity, minimise operator error, reduce costs and protect the environment throughout all stages of the spraying process, from filling to spraying and diluting chemical residues. A number of challenging farming conditions continue to face larger arable farms and co-ops, including the correct timing of spray applications, changing weather conditions, higher spraying speeds, reduced application rates and increasing environmental restrictions, all of which affect their overall economic prospects. John Deere’s extended i-Solutions are designed to give customers the confidence that their spraying operation will result in the best possible crop care and health. Extended i-Solutions consist of a new tank fill calculator, the Sprayer Pro automatic boom master and section control system, and the Auto Dilute continuous spray dilution system. With these features, John Deere offers a completely new and fully integrated system to fill the sprayer more accurately with chemicals and water, to spray more accurately and to dilute chemical residues in the most efficient and environmentally friendly way possible. Based on the actual application rate and the remaining area that needs to be sprayed, the new tank fill calculator works out the amount of chemical and water required per individual fill or partial refill for the entire spray application, and can print off the details for the operator. Using a GPS signal, Sprayer Pro automatically controls the spray boom master valve and individual section valves at the headland and on irregular shaped fields. It switches them on and off more accurately than any operator is able to do manually. Auto Dilute manages the controlled dilution of residual liquid in the sprayer after an application. Depending on the chemicals used previously and the next crop to be sprayed, the operator can choose a preset menu programme to initiate the most efficient dilution and rinsing process. Advanced solutions for implement steering In the satellite guidance market, John Deere already offers a wide range of steering systems to meet all customer needs. Two advanced guidance solutions are now available that go beyond the level of automatic tractor steering, to provide passive and active implement guidance. These are designed to enable implements to operate in a straight line even on difficult, hilly terrain, and to meet the very high demands of speciality crop farmers. The John Deere iGuide system for passive implement steering automatically keeps trailed implements on track, and therefore helps to avoid gaps and overlaps. iGuide works with a highly accurate positioning signal (within +/-2cm) provided by a second StarFire RTK satellite receiver mounted on the implement itself. The tractor is then able to compensate fully for implement drift on slopes as well as in curves. Work quality is dramatically improved and tramline or row spacing is significantly more accurate, with further benefits when using the rows or tramlines for subsequent fertiliser and crop protection applications. The iGuide system can be fitted to all trailed implements when working with John Deere AutoTrac tractors equipped with a GreenStar 2 display and a StarFire RTK signal. |
