New system is ideal for farmers who apply liquid fertilizer during planting and want accurate nutrient placement.
As input costs continue to rise, farmers are looking for ways to enhance their planting equipment to provide precise placement and reduce inputs when possible. To address this concern John Deere has introduced ExactRate™, a factory-installed option that precisely monitors and controls the application of liquid fertilizer during planting.
ExactRate is compatible with select models of John Deere planters with electric drive including the 1775NT, 1795, DB60, DB 44 and DB66 Planters. Thanks to its hydraulic-driven pump, ExactRate can be operated at maximum speeds up to 10 mph (16 km/h), enabling operators to plant up to 5.9 more acres per hour.
ExactRate apps are fully compatible with the John Deere 4640 Universal Display and 4600CommandCenter™ and provide in-cab flow detection and in-field documentation for operators.
John Deere will start taking orders for ExactRate beginning in June, with shipments starting later this fall. For more information visit your local dealer or JohnDeere.com.
