Without the use of AIG, drawn implements are susceptible to implement drift caused by varying soil conditions as well as gravity in sidehill applications. John Deere AIG automatically steers the implement to the guidance line by providing GPS receiver position data to the implement steering system, reducing the adverse impact of implement drift

 

The benefits of John Deere AIG include:

• Positive impact on inputs 
• High crop quality 
• Industry-exclusive fingertip controls
• Reduced operator fatigue 
• Flexibility of signal options with StarFire™ 3000 Receiver and StarFire 6000 Receiver

AIG helps optimize the use of inputs by increasing accuracy at the implement and facilitating seamless, repeatable passes throughout the growing season.

 

AIG can help to reduce input costs in a variety of applications. Potato producers and other specialty crop producers that make frequent passes through the field have seen the value of AIG as they precisely plant and care for their crops. Additionally, producers employing strip-till practices are better able to align their seed placement with their fertilizer placement, maximizing the uptake of their valuable nutrients.

Maintaining the best crop quality is important in all farming operations, and is made especially difficult in cropping practices that require multiple passes through the field. Each pass during the production cycle puts the crop at risk. With AIG, producers no longer have to worry about the emerged crop, as both the tractor and implement are operating on the A-B line.

 

A risk is also minimized when seed is planted with AIG. The improved precision of seed placement provides a straighter path for subsequent passes throughout the season. Compaction and crop disturbance are also reduced as AIG achieves its precision by keeping the implement and tractor on the same guidance path.

 

At the end of the season, the results are better crop quality and improved yield, a value all producers can appreciate.

Active Implement Guidance (AIG) requires an implement steering mechanism. This is common with any active implement supplier on the market. The method of controlling the mechanism can only be found from John Deere.

John Deere controls the implement steering device through the tractor's SCV. This industry-exclusive technology allows operators to engage and disengage AIG quickly and easily.

Operators appreciate this when turning in fields with limited headland space. Simply disengage AIG and manually straighten out the implement after a turn by feathering the SCV lever.

Many minutes are saved, even with the most experienced operators, by eliminating the process of backing up after turns to align implements. The time an operator spent getting frustrated turning large implements can now be spent enjoying planting.

The fingertip controls also provide ease when parking implements in tight places or pulling through narrow spaces.

Fingertip control is available for

• John Deere
  • Large-Frame 7X30 and 7R Series Tractors
  • 8XXX  and 8R Series Tractors
  • 9XXX and 9R Series Tractors

Other tractors are compatible with John Deere AIG with the use of an external SCV.

AIG is available for all other John Deere and non-John Deere tractors with the addition of an external SCV valve and SCV switch. Both can be ordered from a John Deere dealer. The tractor can have an open or a closed-center hydraulic system.

AutoTrac™ assisted steering system paired with Active Implement Guidance (AIG) allows operators to be more productive as they focus on tasks other than steering while traveling down the field.

 

When operators have to spend their entire workday manually steering a machine while watching for obstacles and checking to make sure the implement is operating as expected, they tend to get worn out.

 

Using AutoTrac and AIG together greatly reduces the strain on the operator because the system accurately guides the implement down the most optimum pass, accurately placing inputs, such as seed or fertilizer, in the field.

 

Other benefits to the operator:

• The implement can be monitored more closely to see if parts are wearing out or failing, allowing the operator to be proactive rather than reactive.
• A watchful eye can look for damaging obstacles in the field such as rocks, washouts, or holes caused by broken tile lines.
• An industry exclusive to John Deere, fingertip controls allow operators to turn the implement steering mechanism manually in tight spaces.

All of these benefits result in more uptime for the equipment and an operator who is more alert throughout the day, a benefit everyone can appreciate.

Shared signal enables the pairing of two StarFire receivers and allows  communication between them to improve relative system accuracy when utilizing Machine Sync, AutoTrac™ Implement Guidance (ATIG), Active Implement Guidance™ (AIG),  or AutoPath™ advanced precision ag technologies.

 

Supported configurations:

The following receivers are compatible with shared signal and can be used interchangeably.

• StarFire™ 7500 Receivers
• StarFire 7000 Receivers
• StarFire 6000 Receivers
• StarFire 3000 Receivers

NOTES:

• StarFire 3000 Receivers are no longer a supported configuration with Machine Sync. As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing our products, we are discounting support for Gen4/G5 Machine Sync with StarFire 3000 receiver, starting in May of 2024. See DTAC solution 224346 for more information.
• When using shared signal, the system matches the correction signal from the leader, so the leader must have the higher correction The follower may have a lower correction signal, but the overall system accuracy will reflect that of the leader. This is applicable for AutoPath and ATIG operations as well.

 

Leader Examples: Combine or pull-type harvester in a Machine Sync operation

Follower Examples: Grain cart tractor in a Machine Sync operation

The leader and follower  must be on the same software version. There are no configuration limitations on leader/follower setup between receiver models as long as they are a supported Machine Sync model.

Machine Sync

To ensure optimal performance and compatibility, always update receivers to the most current software version available on the StellarSupport™ portal. The following table describes the accuracy expected from this system:

Leader receiver accuracy  level	Follower receiver accuracy  level	Overall system accuracy level	Machine Sync Compatible

StarFire Receivers

StarFire Receivers can be updated in the following ways:

• Receiver USB port (available only for StarFire 6000 Receivers)
• Generation 4 display USB port
• Remote software updates application (in ISOBUS VT app)

John Deere Operations Center™ application

To use RDA on a Generation 4 CommandCenter Display with a GreenStar 3 2630 Display connected in the same machine, GreenStar 3 2630 software version 3.22.1095 (SU2014-1) or higher is required (for 4600 CommandCenter Display and 4640 Universal Display only).

GreenStar Rate Controller Dry

GreenStar Rate Controller Dry (GDC) 2.11A was the last software version available through Software Manager. GDC 2.20A has been available since spring 2015 and contains diagnostic language updates. This software can only be obtained through Service ADVISOR.

John Deere Rate Controller 2000

The John Deere Rate Controller 2000 will not control the planter clutches or half-, third-, or quarter-width disconnects on a John Deere planter.

AutoTrac Vision

AutoTrac Vision Guidance is only compatible with Generation 4 18-1 software 10.10.404-345 or newer. 


ISOBUS implements

Generation 4 and G5 displays support two Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) certified ISOBUS control units. The use of two ISOBUS control units is limited to the configuration of one front and one rear implement. The use of multiple ISOBUS control units as rear implements is not supported. Generation 4 displays support AEF-certified ISOBUS implements with Task Controller Section Control (TC-SC) functionality and AEF certification for TC-SC include sprayers, fertilizer spreaders, planters, seeders, manure applicators, etc. For third-party FMIS compatibility, reference the John Deere Operations Center.

A software update performed by an authorized ISOBUS implement dealer may be required to obtain compatible software. ISOBUS implements must be certified through the Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) to be recognized by the Generation 4 CommandCenter Display. Visit www.aef-online.org for more information; visit www.aef-isobus-database.org for an active list of compatible implements.

ISOBUS implements with VT4 are now supported by G5 and Generation 4 displays. Generation 4 displays still support older VT versions (example: VT2 and VT3). If an implement is not loading after updating to Generation 4 software update 2017-2 (or newer on 4600 CommandCenter v2 processors), it is recommended that the implement manufacturer be contacted to get a software version that is either VT3 or VT4.

Implements without controllers

Implements without controllers can be documented as a stand-alone operation or with a rate controller from John Deere. Additionally, multiple implements without controllers cannot be documented together.

AutoPath

AutoPath is compatible with G5 displays, Gen 4 4600 CommandCenter (v2 server) and 4640 Universal Displays. AutoPath (rows) (20-3 and later software) requires specific row data documentation (that is gathered during the first field operation of the year), using an implement mounted StarFire Receiver equipped with SF3 or higher correction signal. Shared signal is compatible.

 

For more information on AutoPath functionality and requirements, please refer to the AutoPath Sales Manual.
