Add precision ag technology to your Gator™ Utility Vehicle

Boundary mapping

Spraying

Precision ag technologies have changed the way we farm, and John Deere has been at the forefront of that change. Adding the GreenStar™ ready or AutoTrac™ ready option to a Gator Utility Vehicle brings precision ag technology to farms of all sizes.

Establish boundary maps with GreenStar ready option

G5 Universal Display and pivoting bracket with power switch

StarFire™ receiver mount

The GreenStar ready option provides a basic precision ag technology solution enabling you to utilize the vehicle’s fast speed, light weight, and nimbleness to establish boundary lines, even when the soil is too wet for larger equipment.

The GreenStar ready option code includes factory-installed components:

• Roof mount for a StarFire receiver
• Pivoting bracket for universal display
• Integrated wiring harnesses

A StarFire receiver and universal display are required and can be installed year-round or shared with another piece of equipment.

The GreenStar ready option also requires a JDLink™ modem to connect your utility vehicle to the John Deere Operations Center:

• Track the current and past locations of your utility vehicle with the rest of your fleet.
• Wirelessly send your data to and from your vehicle without the hassle and delay of USB drives.
• Enables a tractor operator to flag the exact location of a large rock so the utility vehicle can be sent to the location to remove the hazard.
• Track productivity, maintenance, and machine vitals.
• Plan ahead for scheduled maintenance.

AutoTrac ready option enables hands-free steering

G5 Universal Display with AutoTrac ready switches

ISO implement connector

Bring another level of productivity to your farm by adding an AutoTrac assisted steering system to your Gator Utility Vehicle. In addition to the benefits of the GreenStar ready, the AutoTrac ready option enables hands-free steering and includes an ISO implement connector.

Stop waiting for the perfect day to spray

• Get a head start by pairing your Gator Utility Vehicle with a tow-behind sprayer. The vehicle’s light weight enables you to spray, even when the ground is too wet for larger equipment.
• Hands-free steering navigates predefined paths around buildings and fence rows while minimizing overlap, input costs, and operator fatigue.
• The ISO implement connector connects the vehicle to a John Deere Rate Controller 2000 which continuously adjusts the flow rate to the vehicle speed.
• Section control shuts off portions of the boom as needed to further minimize overlap and reduce input costs.

Improve soil mapping

• The days of picking a tree across the field to navigate are over. Use guidance lines to create a sampling grid and let your Gator Utility Vehicle keep you on track as you pull plugs across the field.

Checkout your boundaries to reduce planting hassles

• Ride along as the vehicle drives the boundaries and make sure they are ready for the planter.
• Identify and flag obstacles so they can be removed.

AutoPath™ delivers guidance planning efficiency

Enhance your basic AutoTrac assisted steering system with AutoPath. AutoPath transforms farming operations by providing precise, automated guidance for the entire field, regardless of the season or crop type. With AutoPath, you can expect improved productivity, higher yields, and overall greater operational efficiency.

AutoPath plans can be generated in one of two ways:

• From exact row crop data captured in a source operation
• From a precise, driven field boundary using SF3 or higher correction signal

Gator utility vehicles can use AutoPath (rows) to steer themselves accurately between planted crop rows, preventing crop damage. This enables the driver to work quicker and more efficiently while concentrating on field tasks such as spot spraying, crop, rock, or pest scouting, even before emergence.

Utilize a Gator Utility Vehicle’s fast speed, light weight, and agility to drive around and map the perimeter of your fields. This can be done in conjunction with a StarFire Receiver and Gen 4 or G5 display. These accurate and robust boundaries can support AutoPath (boundaries) plans and autonomy in the future. Once the field boundary is established and an AutoPath plan is created with reference to the boundary using the Operations Center or within the display, Gators can efficiently navigate the entire field, reaping the same benefits mentioned earlier.
