In December John Deere introduced a new precision ag option, making its Premium Activation feature available for the Generation 4 CommandCenter on 6R through 9R Series Tractors. Premium Activation includes the three most commonly used applications from the GreenStar 3 2630 display: AutoTrac, Documentation and Section Control.
The 4600 CommandCenter integrated display can be used not only to manage those precision ag features but to control machine functions as well. So, a single monitor is all that is required for many field jobs. And because it works like a standard tablet, it’s more intuitive to use, according to Deere.

Powdery mildew can be combine fire risk
Depending on the crop, powdery mildew may not be much of a yield killer for grain growers — but dust from the fungal disease can build up to cause fires in combines.
The AutoTrac machine guidance feature included in Precision Activation for the CommandCenter also includes a few new software updates, which offer more flexibility to customers by making it easier for them to deal with sloughs or other obstacles in their fields.
“This latest update to our precision ag solutions capitalizes on the positive feedback we’ve received on the redesign of the CommandCenter,” says Jarred Karnei, tactical marketing manager at John Deere, in a press release. “The 4600 CommandCenter gives customers the ability to capture more accurate data while making it easier to manage, document and transfer that data.”
With Deere’s Wireless Data Transfer offering, the CommandCenter can move files wirelessly via JDLink, eliminating the need to transfer data onto USB drives.
