 | I received this from our local dealer. I found this interesting. | | Planter RowCommand™ for individual row control | | |
|  |  | RowCommand on Pro-Series™ row unit |
Productivity and added profitability are synonymous with the John Deere 1700 and DB Series Planters. Expanding on that value, planter RowCommand individually controls seed output on Pro-Shaft™ driven meters. Individual electric clutches integrated with the Pro-Shaft drive gearboxes minimize overlap, reduce seed costs, reduce yield drag, and improve harvest capabilities.
RowCommand in conjunction with Swath Control Pro™ will automatically engage or disengage individual row clutches based on GPS coverage maps and field boundaries. When used with SeedStar™2 monitoring, RowCommand eliminates the need for a GreenStar™2 Rate Controller and incorporates clutch control within SeedStar 2.
Reaping the benefits of integrated technology is as simple as 1, 2, 3 ... SeedStar 2 monitoring, RowCommand, and a Swath Control Pro activation are all it takes. RowCommand with Swath Control Pro provides the ultimate in planting productivity and profit potential.
