The JD 4640 Universal Display enables customers to use the most common and popular JD applications, including AutoTrac and Section.
The new John Deere 4640 Universal Display enables customers to use the most common and popular John Deere applications in a portable display that has the latest internal components, design and user interface.
The display gives better documentation for high-speed planting and nutrient applications, and the latest data syncing for greater onboard/offboard flexibility. It can more accurately map and operate Section Control to precisely apply several products simultaneously, giving individual coverage maps and application points.
The display will also import new customer and product information without the risk of overwriting existing client/farm/field and guidance line information.
It also has more Precision Ag Core applications, including AutoTrac, Section Control and documentation, and wireless data transfer (WDT) with a ‘data sync’ that will automatically transmit job paperwork to the John Deere operations centre.
Operating costs are claimed lower with the 4640 Display, because improved Gen 4 applications such as AutoTrac, Section Control and documentation help users work more efficiently, reduce overlap and skips and maximise inputs and field operations.
Combined with Gen 4 Section Control, operators can optimise performance using distance and speed-based turning by dialling in more quickly and accurately the desired settings.
A power button at the back of the 4640 Display allows operators can shut-off the display or reboot it without powering down the tractor
The 4640 display is available to order now. It is compatible with John Deere 30 series to the latest 6R, 7R, 8R and 9R series tractors, and with AutoTrac Universal and AutoTrac Controller compatible competitive tractors.
