Unleash the Beast: The X-Factor for Your Tractor.

The tractor is the workhorse of your farm, pulling every necessary implement to ensure soil conditions are primed for growth. While your tractor doesn’t actively prepare the soil, this work couldn’t get done without it.

It pays to invest in your tractor, given that it’s a primary piece of machinery for driving productivity on the farm. Adding a rear implement ethernet (RIE) can make your tractor even more powerful by giving you the reins for your implement data, so you can make more informed decisions for your land.

An RIE is a specialized communication device that enables high-speed transfer of real-time data between the tractor and the implement. Data from the implement automatically transfers to your tractor’s G5 display monitor—a prerequisite technology for the RIE to work its magic, along with a StarFire™ receiver, JDLink™ modem, and John Deere Operations Center account.

With the faster data transfer that the RIE enables, you can make better on-the-fly decisions regarding engine speed, seed depth, application rates, and more. That information can lead to more efficient use of resources and time, improved accuracy for higher yields and better crop quality, and more.

The RIE also sends information like performance metrics, error messages, and the status of various functions. This immediate feedback and error detection can help you address issues quickly to reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

And you can seamlessly integrate your RIE with other precision ag technologies, like the StarFire™ 7000 receiver, AutoTrac guidance, or variable rate technology to create a more efficient farming operation.
Getting started with the RIE and prerequisite technology may be unfamiliar territory. That’s why we have a dedicated precision ag team ready to set you up for success.

Once you schedule a free consultation with one of our specialists, we’ll meet with you to not only get you set up with the technology, but also to help ensure you reap its rewards. Our specialists can help you determine the optimal technology for your operation, install it, provide insights and advice on determining which data is valuable for achieving your goals, and assist in creating an action plan.

Whatever you need, our specialists can be there to help you make the most informed decisions for your operation.

When it comes to your tractor, the RIE upgrade and data-driven decision making can ensure it continues to be the reliable workhorse you depend on and that it does so with even greater precision and efficiency.
