John Deere Precision Ag FAQs
Can I add precision ag technology to an older tractor?
Yes. AutoTrac Universal 300 and the AutoTrac Controller 300 steering kit add guidance to machines without factory-installed AutoTrac, from utility tractors to articulated four-wheel drives. JDLink modems connect machines regardless of brand or age.
How accurate is the StarFire 7500 receiver?
With SF-RTK, the StarFire 7500 gives 2.5 cm pass-to-pass accuracy and up to 73% faster pull-in times compared to the SF3 signal. It is a drop-in replacement for the StarFire 6000.
What is the difference between the G5 and G5 Plus displays?
The G5 Universal Display has a 10.1 inch touchscreen. The G5 Plus Universal Display steps up to a 12.8 inch touchscreen and comes standard with a permanent AutoTrac and Section Control license. Both have 1080p HD resolution.
What does JDLink do?
A JDLink modem streams machine and field data to your John Deere Operations Center account, including location, fuel level and idle time, and enables remote support from your dealer.
Do I need a subscription for RTK accuracy?
The RTK Radio 450 and 900 require an RTK subscription from your John Deere dealer or your own base station, along with a StarFire 6000 receiver and the matching activations. Ask our team which correction option fits your farm.
