John Deere has unveiled its new 500R flagship sprayer. In keeping with the OEM, the 500R has been designed with exact utility management and improved growth positioning to make sure each drop hits the crop the place it counts.
Visibility from the cab to the growth has been maximised, giving operators a transparent view of their working surroundings for safer and extra environment friendly spraying. To extend security additional, the totally pressurised cab with Cat. 4 filtration protects operators from publicity to chemical substances throughout spraying operations.
The machine’s weight is evenly distributed, enhancing traction each within the subject and on the street. Its slender profile makes street transport simpler and safer, whereas nonetheless accommodating for a big platform between fluid tank and cabin.
Contained in the cab, ample storage choices embrace armrest compartments and behind-seat storage for smartphones, keys, and bigger objects with devoted holders for beverage cups. Infotainment options equivalent to Bluetooth connectivity, crystal-clear sound high quality, and seamless smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto permit operators to make calls, deal with messages, entry music and use voice instructions.
The G5Plus CommandCenter features a 35% bigger display and 75% quicker efficiency in comparison with earlier shows. It presents high-definition 1080P decision and a well-known maps-like satellite tv for pc view. A nook publish show gives important machine data at a look.
The brand new CommandArm teams buttons by performance, together with engine, transport and chassis, and lights, for intuitive operation. The ergonomic multifunction joystick permits operators to manage pace and park brake with a easy push or pull, whereas executing important spraying capabilities via intuitively positioned buttons.
BoomTrac Professional 2 is provided with 5 growth peak sensors and a n Inertia Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor, making certain the spray growth is accurately positioned always. This maintains constant utility heights, reduces drift, permits for larger speeds, and minimises operator stress. The actively managed centre body delivers most stiffness and optimum growth efficiency. It combines excessive stability with an clever dampening system that smooths out operation.
On the coronary heart of the 500R is the CommandDrive variable pace hydrostatic transmission, which presents an infinite vary of speeds for optimum efficiency. A single hydrostatic pump powers 4 variable wheel motors, every linked to a heavy-duty planetary ultimate drive hub. This configuration ensures full pulling energy at every wheel and delivers superior traction management. The impartial wheel motors robotically modify energy based mostly on weight distribution and wheel pace, sustaining stability and grip in all circumstances. For street journey, the 500R’s Auto Mode reduces engine pace to 1,350 RPM, considerably decreasing gas consumption and noise ranges for a extra economical and cozy journey.
The mixture of PowrSpray, ExactApply and BoomTrac Professional 2 delivers as much as 98% accuracy in spraying purposes.
PowrSpray is a twin circuit pump system developed solely by John Deere. Its key part, the Direct Fee Controller on the spray pump, can change output from minimal to most in lower than three seconds, sustaining a constant utility price even when ahead pace modifications.
ExactApply presents extremely exact spray management via particular person nozzle administration and pulse width modulation which maintains a continuing droplet measurement throughout a big floor pace vary, thus maximising utility high quality. The automated flip compensation ensures a continuing utility price in case the machine follows a curved monitor, and the brand new multi-meter function permits as much as 11 completely different charges throughout the growth bringing utility to a good larger precision.
