Masons Kings have provided remote support through JDLink and their connected tractors. John Deere Remote Display Access and Expert Alerts has allowed Masons Kings FarmSight team to monitor tractor performance and fuel performance when being used in different tasks. Recommendations have been made to improve performance and utilising John Deere’s Fuel Guarantee Program the tractors are performing better than the recommended fuel usage target.
F G PALMER & SONS LTD
The Palmer family have been a longstanding customer of Masons Kings and have recently upgraded their previous 7450 SPFH to a new 8500i. The new model came equipped with JDLink and, being i spec, yield monitors. The family have been utilising the
yield monitoring system to not only monitor the performance of each field, but to make sure the correct amount goes to each clamp, to help avoid transporting silage between farms.
They have trialled the HarvestLab 3000 and have been very impressed with the level of data that it provides and the insights into the field performance that the naked eye cannot see. Then, working with Masons Kings FarmSight Specialist Dan Wood to look at the
data generated from the forager alongside other field data in the John Deere Operations Centre.
After seeing the benefits of JDLink on their forager, the family decided to install retrofit JDLink kits to more of the fleet. This has allowed the tractors to be signed up to Expert Alerts and remote diagnostics as well as allowing the Masons Kings FarmSight team to remotely access the displays (RDA) for remote help using the technology and finally for wirelessly sending operation data back into their MyJohnDeere account.
GOVIER & SON
The Govier Family have been using John Deere’s Ag Management Systems (AMS) since 2012 and now see the AutoTrac and the associated systems as integral to their businesses. The team was an early adopter of the MyJohnDeere platform and has seen it as an essential business tool.
All farm operations are recorded either through the tractor display or the MyOperations app. This has allowed John full traceability of operation dates and products used as well as quantities applied.
Adding the 732i Sprayer into the business has also allowed the team to easily record spray and liquid fertiliser applications utilising the ISOBUS connection through to the 4600 Command Centre Display. The application data is sent wirelessly through JDLink back to the Operations Centre for further analysis and reporting.
BT & DC SHILSTON
The Shilston family first have been using Autotrac since 2011. To the present date they have been utilising the John Deere Univeral Autotrac (ATU) retrofit steering wheel, allowing them to easily move the AutoTrac system from tractor to tractor. On the recently purchased 6140M, Brian opted to purchase the tractor with integrated AutoTrac and now runs a second ATU300 package across his two other tractors.
The new 6140M has also arrived with factory fit JDLink. This has allowed Masons Kings to actively monitor the tractor and limit downtime through the Expert Alert system. Going forward, Brian has started to upload data to his MyJohnDeere account, both manually from this Gen 4 4240 display and wirelessly via JDLink on the new 6140M. Over time this will allow Brian to record operation data and view and report on these operations for his records.
