2024 John Deere 400 Series 412R

2024 John Deere 400 Series 412R

• 1,200-gallon (4,542 L) tank

• Up to 132-foot (40.23 m) boom

• 326 hp, 9.0 L engine

• 35 mph (56.3 km/h) transport speed

Features may include:

• When margins are tight and application windows are narrow, every dollar and every droplet need to work as hard as they can. John Deere See & Spray products bring resource-saving precision to the field:

• See & Spray Select: Covers fallow fields using advanced camera and nozzle-control technology to spray only emerged weeds. It can also apply traditional broadcast application.

• See & Spray Ultimate: For in-season application on corn, cotton, or soybeans in 76.2-cm (30-in.) or greater rows or fallow ground using machine learning to identify weed from crop. Also includes a dual product solution system that allows two separate tank mixes to be utilized, better combating herbicide resistance and time inefficiency with two passes in one. It can also apply traditional broadcast application.

• TECHNOLOGY EVOLUTION

• John Deere has focused on taking farmers’ application from field level to plant level over the years. From field to broadcast, section control to ExactApply™ individual nozzle control, and now the next step – to artificial intelligence and machine learning. Both See & Spray offerings work in conjunction with ExactApply nozzle control. They use a combination of cameras and processors to detect weeds before activating only the nozzles necessary to apply a burst of herbicide to the weed, achieving a hit rate comparable to traditional broadcast spray.

• DATA INSIGHTS

• How do you know See & Spray is doing its job? With the monitoring capabilities of John Deere Operations Center™ application and the Generation 4 4600 CommandCenter™ Display, you can track job quality and savings during and after application. These technology tools also offer weed pressure mapping, providing insights to make even better field management decisions.

• SUSTAINABILITY

• Using less herbicide means using less water and creating less opportunity for drift, and that’s good for the land, water, and air that sustain us.

• SEE & SPRAY ULTIMATE BENEFITS

• Improve weed control – Combat herbicide resistance with a dual-product solution system that uses two independent tank mixes in one pass, avoiding antagonism in more aggressive tank mixes.

• Reduce solution use – Reduce the applied volume of herbicide by more than two-thirds by avoiding inefficient traditional broadcast application in corn, cotton, and soybeans.

• Gain cost efficiency – More than two-thirds spray volume reduction means significantly lower herbicide costs, fewer tendering stops, and more acres covered in a day.

• Fertilizers and crop protection products are too expensive to waste, and seed is too valuable to risk over- or under-treating. To help make sure your solution is getting to the crop at exactly the right rate and droplet size across a wider range of speeds, look to ExactApply nozzle control system.

• The heart of the ExactApply system is a six-nozzle turret with multiple modes of operation to help maintain target rate and pressure. From the cab, operators can choose:

• 15-Hz pulse-width modulation (PWM) pulses one solenoid for more consistent pressure and droplet size over a wider range of ground speeds and application rates.

• 30-Hz PWM pulses both solenoids at 15 Hz for more thorough coverage during high-volume applications, like liquid fertilizer.
