Deere rolls out “smarter” combines and front-end equipment

John Deere is launching a new combine series for 2018 among other new products while celebrating its 180th year in business. John Deere’s most advanced grain harvesting technology to date is being rolled out in the S700 series combine models with what the company says are significant improvements in Smart technology. The combines can sense conditions during harvest and made adjustments while harvesting.

Kevin Ripple, marketing manager for harvest at John Deere says they are introducing their Combine Advisor package which includes seven technologies to help operators get the most out of harvest performance.

Another rollout today is Deere’s 4640 Universal Display which allows Deere customers and those who don’t have all green equipment.

Beverly Flores, communications manager for John Deere, says the company has weathered many ups and downs in the ag economy over its 180 years and this current downturn is no exception. She says farmers are buying both used and new equipment and John Deere is always looking for the best and right solutions for their farmer customers.
