2024 John Deere Surface Water Pro™ Plus

• Map subtle changes in elevation across the field in Survey Mode. Use this data to create ditches to enhance field drainage and maintain crop yield

• Prevent crop loss due to drowning by creating ditches in the field using either a linear drain profile or a “best-fit” drain profile

• Create field levees by following the calculated levee tracks based upon elevation survey data and using AutoTrac in subsequent passes to create parallel levees

Features may include:

• Advanced ditching creates more precise ditches

• Surface Water Pro™ Plus system for the GreenStar™ 2 2600 and GreenStar 3 2630 Displays take water management to the next level. When added to either a GreenStar 2 2600 or GreenStar 3 2630 Display, Surface Water Pro Plus will open the door for more advanced ditching functions enabling the creation of more precise ditches.

• To attain this functionality, a Surface Water Pro Plus activation is required and a second StarFire™ 3000 or StarFire 6000 Receiver will need to be mounted on the implement which must be running at least SF2/SF3, but RTK is highly recommended. The receiver on the tractor may run SF2/SF3; however, RTK is recommended. To ensure the best vertical accuracy, users should run RTK on the implement receiver at a location within 2 km (1.2 miles) of the RTK base station.

• Surface Water Pro Plus uses many components that many growers already own, including:

• GreenStar 2 2600 Display

• GreenStar 3 2630 Display

• StarFire 3000 or StarFire 6000

• AutoTrac™ assisted steering system

• iGrade™ leveling system

• NOTE: See this link for further StarFire 6000 compatibility information.

• Four components

• Surface Water Pro Plus has four features

• Survey mode: records elevation for later use

• Levee mode: records and runs levee tracks

• Basic ditching mode: run and record ditch tracks

• Advanced ditching mode: allows users to plan, create, and run ditch tracks
