Capture in-field weather information for on-the-go decision making. Accurate information is critical when making decisions surrounding product application, so it is important to use weather information that is specific to the operator and area being covered. John Deere Mobile Weather displays five critical values needed when determining the effectiveness of product application.

• Wind speed (true)
• Wind direction
• Delta T
• Temperature
• Relative humidity

True wind speed is wind experienced by a stationary object. Apparent wind speed is the total wind experienced without compensation for machine speed and direction.

John Deere Mobile Weather mounted on the roof of a self-propelled sprayer

Mobile Weather folded for transport

John Deere Mobile Weather utilizes a third-party weather sensor that connects to the John Deere Application Controller. Weather data is collected and distributed to the Gen 4 4600 CommandCenter™ Display or 4640 Universal Display for viewing and documentation. A John Deere Mobile Weather activation is required to utilize the Application Controller to monitor weather information and is included with the purchase of the product.

Producers running a Gen 4 4600 CommandCenter Display, 4640 Universal Display, or GreenStar™ 3 2630 Display are capable of documenting weather data; all other compatible GreenStar 2 Displays are only able to display the weather data without the ability to record. Weather information collected on a Gen 4 Premium Display is compatible with the John Deere Operations Center™ application. Once the weather information is collected, it can then be transferred to APEX™ software system or viewed in Operations Center for further analysis and record keeping. Customers can view mapped air temperature, wind speed, and Delta T, while wind direction and humidity can be seen within the summary information.

Monitor weather conditions to optimize effectiveness of chemical application

Utilize the customizable alerts and weather information to make educated decisions about when to spray.  Monitoring temperature, wind speed, wind direction, Delta T, and relative humidity on the go allows operators to quickly and easily understand if the weather conditions are favorable or not for product application. Built-in alerts make it easy for operators to set operational parameters to know when unfavorable weather conditions are present. Having weather information in the cab allows operators to increase product efficacy and decrease the risk of chemical drift. 

Red background indicates customizable alert has been exceeded

Delta T is a calculation that indicates the acceptable conditions to apply product; the value indicates if the product applied will evaporate prior to being absorbed by the plant. Delta T is a calculated by subtracting the wet bulb temperature from the dry bulb temperature. When applying, Delta T should be between 2⁰C (4⁰F) and 8⁰C (14⁰F), and not greater than 10⁰C (18⁰F). A higher Delta T value results in a faster evaporation rate and shorter droplet lifetime. Applicators can utilize the customizable alerts to notify the operator when Delta T is too high and product application is not favorable in order to ensure maximum product effectiveness.

System specifications:

John Deere Mobile Weather provides system accuracy within +/- 6.4 km/h (+/- 4 mph) up to a 64.3 km/h (40 mph) apparent wind. Apparent wind speed is the total wind experienced without compensation for machine speed and direction. Operating with a headwind and tailwind increases vehicle turbulence, negatively impacting wind speed accuracy. For optimal performance, Mobile Weather is recommended to be utilized in vehicle operation speeds less than 32 km/h (20 mph). John Deere Mobile Weather is not recommended for use in dry-box applications.

NOTE: Specifications are for a new sensor. System performance may vary based upon application.

Machine Sync

Supported leader platforms

• Combine:

• Self-Propelled Forage Harvesters
• 9000 Series and 8000 Series
• John Deere Tractors
• All models outlined in the follower platform section below.

Supported follower platforms

• John Deere tractors (wheeled models)
• 6R with Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT™) (iTEC™ functionality required)
• 7R with CommandQuad™ Eco transmission, e23™ transmission, and IVT
• 8030 with PowerShift™ transmission and IVT
• 8R with PowerShift, IVT, and e23 transmission
• 9030 with PowerShift transmission
• 9R with PowerShift transmission with Efficiency Manager™ feature
• John Deere tractors (tracked models)

• NOTE: John Deere 8030T and 9030T models are not compatible with Machine Sync.

Machine Sync is supported on G5/G5^Plus Universal or CommandCenter Displays, Gen 4 4600 CommandCenter Displays, and Gen 4 4640 Universal Displays. G5 and Gen 4 configurations will work with one another. I.E., an X9 Combine is equipped with a G5 ^Plus Display, and its grain cart tractor is equipped with a Gen 4 display will work together in a Machine Sync setting.

All machines (leaders and followers) running Machine Sync must be equipped with High Connectivity Machine Sync antennas. This will yield the best performance and connection between the two machines when unloading harvested crops on the go. (Part # BPF12469)

We recommend the leader has a higher or equal correction signal to the follower. Starting May of 2024, StarFire 3000 Receiver software updates and fixes will no longer be available, therefore, this receiver will no longer be compatible with Machine Sync. The configuration will not be blocked, however, support will be discontinued in the event an issue arises.
