The CommandView III cab comes equipped with the John Deere 4600 CommandCenter, which enables producers and spraying contractors to efficiently capture, manage and transfer data. 

“The redesigned CommandARM features a multi-function handle to give operators additional ways to customise their work environment,” John Deere application equipment marketing manager Doug Felter said. 

”An optional heated, fully ventilated leather seat, also is available and can swivel up to 15 degrees for improved operator visibility to the area behind the sprayer.”

Felter said the new 36.6m and 40.2m carbon fibre booms helped minimise crop and soil impact. 

“The strong, durable and lightweight material reduces boom wing weight by more than 35 per cent, and overall machine weight, minimising negative effects to the soil or crop,” he said. 

“The booms are corrosion resistant and their simple design makes them easy to clean and maintain.”

According to John Deere data, using the 40.2m boom can increase spraying productivity by 8% compared to the 36.6m boom.

John Deere dealers will be taking orders for the new features beginning in May.
