Our First Look at Predictive Ground Speed Automation (PGSA)
Technology advancements continue to amaze everyone in the ag industry, and one of the latest harvest automation features from John Deere quickly made the list of must-have tech. Predictive ground speed automation (PGSA) is a new combine automation technology that slows down and speeds up your machine based on the predicted crop biomass ahead of the combine. How is that possible? Our team got an up-close look at this technology with our 2025 S7 800 demo machine.
How Does It Work?
Leading up to harvest, satellite imagery is collected and will populate to your display when PGSA is activated. Forward-facing cameras detect the crop in front of the combine, so in combination with the camera footage and the collected data, the machine is able to adjust its speed.
Why Does That Matter?
Model year 2025 and newer combine harvesters with the Ultimate technology package are manufactured to run at their highest capacity 100% of the time. So, when the machine has completed its learning phase and is calibrated to run PGSA, you will be getting the highest possible efficiency and yield from your machine’s settings. You’ll save fuel and get the most from your crop.
