John Deere has unveiled its new 500R flagship sprayer. In accordance with the OEM, the 500R has been designed with exact software 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 absolutely 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 slim 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 gadgets with devoted holders for beverage cups. Infotainment options resembling 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 screen and 75% quicker efficiency in comparison with earlier shows. It gives high-definition 1080P decision and a well-known maps-like satellite tv for pc view. A nook put up show offers 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 velocity and park brake with a easy push or pull, whereas executing important spraying features by means of intuitively positioned buttons.
BoomTrac Professional 2 is supplied with 5 growth peak sensors and a n Inertia Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor, guaranteeing the spray growth is appropriately positioned always. This maintains constant software heights, reduces drift, permits for greater 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 velocity hydrostatic transmission, which gives an infinite vary of speeds for optimum efficiency. A single hydrostatic pump powers 4 variable wheel motors, every linked to a heavy-duty planetary last drive hub. This configuration ensures full pulling energy at every wheel and delivers superior traction management. The unbiased wheel motors mechanically modify energy primarily based on weight distribution and wheel velocity, sustaining stability and grip in all circumstances. For street journey, the 500R’s Auto Mode reduces engine velocity to 1,350 RPM, considerably decreasing gasoline consumption and noise ranges for a extra economical and comfy trip.
The mixture of PowrSpray, ExactApply and BoomTrac Professional 2 delivers as much as 98% accuracy in spraying functions.
PowrSpray is a twin circuit pump system developed completely by John Deere. Its key part, the Direct Price Controller on the spray pump, can change output from minimal to most in lower than three seconds, sustaining a constant software fee even when ahead velocity adjustments.
ExactApply gives extremely exact spray management by means of particular person nozzle administration and pulse width modulation which maintains a continuing droplet dimension throughout a big floor velocity vary, thus maximising software high quality. The automated flip compensation ensures a continuing software fee in case the machine follows a curved observe, and the brand new multi-meter characteristic permits as much as 11 completely different charges throughout the growth bringing software to an excellent greater precision.
