This innovative system empowers farmers to optimize their operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and enhance overall productivity, setting a new standard for ease and speed in the calibration of agricultural equipment.

 

EZCal is like pressing the easy button on calibration. With EZCal, users can easily pour a bucket full of product into the hopper, select the roller color on the G5e cart side display, and initiate calibration. They can then proceed to tender the cart while the calibration process runs. Once completed, users can accept the MDV, seamlessly sending the data to the Gen 4 or G5 display, eliminating the need to remember numbers and reducing steps.

Please see the EZCal animation  below for more information.

Benefits

• Enhanced Speed: EZCal accelerates the calibration process, providing a remarkable 45% decrease in calibration time compared to leading competitors, saving valuable time, and minimizing downtime.
• Maximize Productivity: Perform calibration with EZCal while tendering, enabling seamless multitasking and efficient utilization of operational resources.
• Improved Precision: By streamlining calibration tasks, EZCal ensures consistent and precise calibration, eliminating the need to manual weigh bags and input weights into the display.
• Simplified Process: EZCal simplifies the traditionally complex calibration process and automatically sends the MDV to the Gen4 or G5 display once accepted, making it more accessible and user-friendly for farmers, ultimately reducing the need for specialized expertise.
• Advanced Technology: EZCal represents a cutting-edge advancement in precision agriculture, setting a new standard for ease and speed in the calibration of agricultural equipment, and keeping farmers ahead in the evolving agricultural landscape.
• Unmatched Convenience: The EZCal System features all meter rollers stored on the side, offering the convenience of swift interchangeability during the calibration process.

 

Additional details

EZCal features an integrated load cell that automatically measures the initial and final weights of the hopper, enabling the calculation of the product distribution amount during calibration. Upon completion of the calibration, the measured weight is utilized to determine the meter displacement value (MDV), which is then seamlessly transmitted to the Gen 4 or G5 display in the cab, provided the farmer accepts the calibration.

EZCal is controlled from the G5e cart side display, removing the requirement to repeatedly move between the cart and the cab during calibration. This streamlined process reduces numerous steps and eliminates the need to physically maneuver on the ground during calibration. With the G5e cart side display, users can easily calibrate one or multiple tanks simultaneously, selecting the desired meter roller for each tank.

Overview

Released in model year 2025, the AccuRate metering system brings a host of improvements, most notably a significant increase in seeding accuracy through the incorporation of individual electric meters per primary run. By introducing electric meters, John Deere empowers customers with more precise seeding capabilities across the entire width of the tool. This enhancement is made possible through a range of innovative features outlined in the benefits section.

 

The AccuRate meters not only provide unparalleled accuracy, but also drastically reduce the maintenance required. To ensure maximum durability, the AccuRate metering system features a robust blend of stainless steel and composite materials. This combination guarantees a completely corrosion-resistant meter bank, providing customers with a reliable solution that stands the test of time.
