Precision ag technologies have changed the way we farm, and John Deere has been at the forefront of that change. Adding the AutoTrac™ assisted steering system and JDLink™ Modem options to Gator Utility Vehicles brings precision ag technology to farms of all sizes.

The AutoTrac Ready option enables hands-free steering through the field decreasing overlap and lowering input costs while reducing operator fatigue. The JDLink Modem option connects your vehicle to the John Deere Operations Center so the vehicle can be managed with the rest of your fleet.

Simplify field boundaries

• Check field boundaries and identify hazards as the Gator Utility Vehicle steers itself along established boundary lines.
• Create new boundary lines, even when the soil is too wet for larger equipment.

Improve soil mapping

• The days of picking a tree across the field to navigate are over. Use guidance lines to create a sampling grid and let your Gator Utility Vehicle keep you on track as you pull plugs across the field.

Connect your Gator Utility Vehicle to the rest of your fleet

• Leave the USB drives at home as you wirelessly send your data to and from your Gator Utility Vehicle.
• A planter operator can flag the exact location of a large rock so the Gator UV can be sent to the location to remove the hazard.

Save time and stop waiting for the perfect day to spray

• When paired with a tow behind sprayer and rate controller, the Gator Utility Vehicle’s lighter weight allows work to be completed when the ground is too wet for larger equipment.
• Speed through spraying by allowing the Gator Utility Vehicle to steer a predefined path around buildings and fence rows.

Track productivity, maintenance, and machine vitals

• Track the current and past locations of your Gator Utility Vehicle in the John Deere Operations Center, just like the rest of your fleet.
• Know when your Gator Utility Vehicle is ready for scheduled maintenance

Share StarFire™ Receiver and Universal Display

• You can leave precision ag technology components installed year-round or share your StarFire Receiver and Universal Display with another piece of equipment.
