Field boundaries

Boundary creation from coverage

Headland creation

• Manually drive field boundaries with the G5 / Gen4 CommandCenter™ or import existing boundary information from the G5 / Gen 4 / GreenStar 3 2630 Display or John Deere Operations Center. G5 / Gen 4 documentation data can be used to create boundaries from coverage within the John Deere Operations Center.

Dual-display mode

Dual display

• G5 CommandCenter or G5^Plus CommandCenter may be configured to run with the following John Deere displays connected at the cornerpost of a John Deere tractor:
• GreenStar 2 1800 Display
• GreenStar 2 2600 Display
• GreenStar 3 2630 Display
• 4640 Universal Display
• 4240 Universal Display

NOTE: Vehicle applications are always located on the G5 CommandCenter.

Automatic base station switching

Setup base stations in Fields and Boundaries applications

• Producers using John Deere RTK Radio 450 or 900 can link a base station to a desired client, farm, or field. This allows automatic switching to the associated base station when changing fields. The ability to import base station assignments into Operations Center and send back to machines will be available at a later date.

Extended Monitor mounted on A-post with G5^Plus CommandCenter™ display

The G5^Plus Extended Monitor provides a secondary monitor for producers who want two monitors to manage their machine and precision ag applications on their G5^Plus. Adding the second monitor gives producers the ability to view and adjust more settings at once without switching run pages. It is also possible to view and adjust ISO-VT screens on both monitors at the same time.

Leveraging a G5^Plus display with an Extended Monitor provides the following benefits:

• One easy-to-use system – Adjust settings on the go with either monitor while always having direct access to more run pages and information.
• Simplified in-cab operating experience – G5^Plus displays are built on a foundation of being easy to use for operators. Two monitors from the same system eliminates the potential for mismatched information and the need for separate software updates for different displays.
• Maximize uptime and minimize setup time with quick and easy plug and play over the traditional dual-display setup steps.
• Better positioned to avoid costly mistakes during product application by providing the ability to have direct access more effectively to information and adjustments.
• Increased customization and viewable access to the G5^Plus run page layout, as well as flexible mounting location of the additional monitor.

The  ability to remotely view the machine’s settings, performance, yield, acres, and other information is highly valuable when managing or supervising an operation. It is imperative that your equipment keeps running productively and that you are enabled to provide remote support to improve the quality and efficiency of work while saving time and money. RDA enables you to get help with machine settings or identify a problem and receive assistance in navigating through the steps needed to resolve the issue.

Value of RDA:

• Improved confidence in precision farming applications for all operators
• Increased productivity with quicker problem resolution
• Improved service from John Deere dealer and support personnel
• Increased profitability by keeping equipment moving
• Reduced labor and travel costs
• With the 19-1 software update, the Gen 4 displays no longer require the operator to accept for remote view

G5 applications with renewable license allow data to be transferred from the display to the John Deere Operations Center for job reporting and analysis using Wireless Data Transfer (WDT) or Data Sync.

• With WDT, you can manually send data to the John Deere Operations Center for review.
• Data Sync automatically sends your data to the Operations Center, avoiding the need for manually exporting the data. 

Wirelessly sending data helps you save time and money while increasing productivity. Wirelessly transfer setup, prescription, and documentation files securely between office, mobile devices, eliminating the need for USB transfer. This increases your uptime and productivity, reduces the risk of data loss, and enables easy data sharing and more timely decision making.

Through the John Deere Operations Center, you are in control and can easily share files with a John Deere dealer and other trusted advisers.

NOTE: For users in areas of poor cellular coverage, data can be exported using a USB flash drive.

Over-the-air reprogramming allows for fast, simple, and convenient updates that offer improved performance and new features when producer’s need them, when they want them, and when they are ready for them.

You have the power to reprogram John Deere Precision Ag component connected to your vehicle, over the air, without the need for a USB stick or separate download program:

• No more need for a USB stick
• No more need for a Mac® or PC laptop
• No more need for GreenStar Live Update
• No more need for the MyJohnDeere™ portal Software Manager
• No more need to remember to bring all of this hardware, nor to remember how to use all of these different tools

*NOTE: Other Precision Ag Technology displays (such as the Original GreenStar Display, GreenStar 2 1800, GreenStar 2 2600, and GreenStar 3 2630) cannot be reprogrammed by G5 or Gen 4 displays. Modular Telematics Gateway and non-Precision Ag Technology components, such as the tractor radio, are not updateable by the G5 display.
