John Deere Sprayers, Loaded with Technology

John Deere Sprayers, Loaded with Technology!

 

John Deere is excited to introduce the new 30 series sprayers. The 4730 and 4830 provide a new level of comfort and productivity. They feature a flat fold boom, front ladder, more horsepower, and an optional 100” boom.

 

Every 4730, 4830, and 4930 now comes with a GS2 display. Not only is the GS2 loaded with the new SprayStar/SpreadStar to control the liquid system/dry box, but it also has the GreenStar Basics software, which includes:

AutoTrac and Swath Control Pro can be easily added to the sprayer to take the productivity to a new level. AutoTrac includes a perspective view and visibility of the headlands for hands-free equipment operation at the push of a button. Swath Control Pro uses the mapping information to automatically turn on and off the sprayer section valves.

BoomTrac Pro is a boom height sensing system that allows each side of the boom to respond to ground contour changes on-the-go. This optimizes the sprayer application keeping the boom at the desired height above the target increasing operator comfort.

The 4930 John Deere Sprayer fitted with an L3030G4 300 cu. ft. New Leader spin spreader delivers industry-leading productivity.  The L3030G4 box is controlled with the new John Deere SpreadStar controller, allowing integrated control with the machine.  The GS2 allows you to do single or dual products, map-based prescriptions, variable rates, as applied maps, and Swath Control Pro.

John Deere invites you to attend this session to ensure that you get the most out of the technology of these new 30 series sprayers.
