Harvest Technology to Help With Harvest Season
Harvest Technology to Help With Harvest Season
Harvest season can be busy and hectic, leaving little time for tinkering with technology and new products. However, these technologies can make your season more efficient when they’re enabled beforehand. Castongia Tractor’s Integrated Solutions team can help you get ready for fall and prepare your technology for optimal use.
John Deere Operations Center
One of the greatest resources you can implement for your operation is the John Deere Operations Center. Having one of these accounts set up correctly can help you manage, track, and keep your data. You’ll be able to connect with your dealership and share essential information, like updated equipment and more. Through this resource, you can create harvest Work Plans and leave essential notes for your operators when they arrive at the field. There are a lot of incredible features that can improve efficiency and data collection.
Equipment Mobile App
Another great option for keeping track of information and also searching for the information you need is Equipment Mobile. You can enter your specific equipment serial number and get access to parts, setup recommendations, and more.
Software Updates
Before you head out to your first field, it can be useful to check all of your displays and modems to determine if any software updates are needed. New software releases happen occasionally, improving functionality and addressing any bugs. Updating to the latest versions now can prevent any slowdowns once you get going.
Connectivity
As you check your software, you can also take the time to make sure everything is communicating with each other as it should be. This goes for virtual connectivity and physical connectivity, like your cables and harnesses.
These are just a few things you can do to prepare for harvest season and we are here to help when needed. We have four agricultural locations in Northwest Indiana; DeMotte, Fowler, Rensselaer, and Valparaiso. You can contact our Integrated Solutions (Precision Ag) team at 219-327-6676.
