Ag Management Solutions
Make every pass more productive with integrated guidance from John Deere Ag Management Solutions. Start with Parallel Tracking and the free, SF1 signal. This hands-on system lets you reduce overlap and is ideal for broad-acre tillage, seeding, and spraying. When you demand greater accuracy, upgrade to AutoTrac hands-free assisted steering, and the SF2 signal. Enjoy pass-bypass accuracy of +/- 4 inches. AutoTrac lets you work at faster speeds so you finish more acres in less time. Plus, by minimizing implement overlap, you can. decrease fuel, seed, fertilizer, and chemical costs.
Best of all you can move your John Deere guidance system from your tractor to other machines. And for model year 2006, all 8030 Series Tractors come from the factory GreenStar AutoTrac-Ready (unavailable on the 8130 2-wheel-drive).

Signal accuracy options
The StarFire™ network provides unparalleled signal reliability:

  • SF1– FREE, pass-to-pass accuracy of about 1 foot
  • SF2 pass-to-pass accuracy of +/-4 inches
  • StarFire RTK – Real-time kinematics with sub-inch accuracy
    Note: SF1 and SF2 —15 minutes pass-to-pass, 95 percent of the time. RTK — sub-inch — within 6 miles of base station and 68 percent of the time.

John Deere guidance systems can help you cut fuel, fertilizer, seed, and chemical costs.

GreenStar StarFire iTC receiver is available in two configurations:
WAAS/SF1 only, or SF2 Ready.
You can plug in a USB-compatible keyboard to your new GreenStar 2 display for easier data entry.
New GreenStar 2 color displays: The 2600 features push-button or touch-screen navigation, (2100 is push-button only). Both models come pre-loaded with a wide array of John Deere Ag Management Solutions programs. Plus it can pull double-duty and work as your tractor's performance monitor.
NEW GreenStar Apex Farm Management Software gives you more flexibility, regardless of your cropping practices. Apex goes beyond downloading GreenStar data; it also directly unloads data from third party systems and has a robust ability to import data like
soil-type maps from other software packages.
The original GreenStar system provides an affordable option for guidance and field documentation applications.
Field Doc™ Data Collection Software can turn your tractor into an information gathering machine. Working with your StarFire receiver and GreenStar monitor, this GPS-based software simplifies data collection – record field and weather conditions, tillage practices, seed varieties, and field boundaries.
