All this is done by GPS and the scraper is controlled automatically with the addition of the application controller. You can also run Dual Slope where it will pitch it into a desired corner. With the function One Slope you can set your desired slope and it will pitch it in the direction you tell it. Using Plane Control with a function called Plane Calculator you can survey the area and it will give you a recommended slope and you can either accept it or change the slope. There are multiple modes within iGrade, but the 2 that we use are Plane Control for scrapers and Remote Control for ditchers. I got the chance the other day to help get a customer started and play around with a 9510R and dual pan scrapers that is setup with iGrade. Two tenths to an inch in most areas will definitely help the corn and beans since we were starting to see a few cracks starting to show up in the ground. Luckily we were able to receive a little rain yesterday. The field that I was in on Monday was testing 14% moisture and 80-90 bushels per acre for yield. Wheat this year is tough and is going to be hard threshing with some green spots still in the fields, but moisture and yield looking good. Wheat harvest has started in southern Illinois with a few guys getting started before the rain hit yesterday. If you are interested in Rowsense, contact any of the Sloan’s AMS specialist for pricing and see if you have an approved platform. Rowsense isn’t only for combines with integrated Autotrac, there are also platform kits for non integrated AutoTrac combines that can run an ATU. There are feelers that go in the corn head and activation in the GS3 or GS2. Rowsense is for combines that are picking corn. With the down corn this year, it would be a good time to think Rowsense. Also don’t forget with the 450 mhz radio’s and the SF3000 receiver you also get 14 days of SF2 fallback which is a Deere exclusive perk. We also have other towers that cover the same areas also. We do carry enough items on hand to get it back up and going in the matter of hours on an emergency basis. I am just glad it did it in the off season and not in the middle of spring.
#YOU TUBE IGRADE JOHN DEERE INSTALL#
Since it is on an actual structure tower and not a grain leg, we have a climber come and install the antenna and coax. We are still waiting on a certified climber to replace the antenna. We had the Lanark RTK base station get struck by lightning and have had to replace everything. Corn has been looking great lately with the rain and warmer weather.
There are quite a few fields that got flattened with the winds. We also have had a few bad storms with strong winds and a couple of tornados.
We had had a lot of rain the last few days in Northern IL.
