Introducing John Deere's See & Spray Premium Upgrade Kit

Feb. 6 2024 New Products By Prairie State Tractor

Prairie State Tractor is excited to announce the arrival of the John Deere See & Spray™ Premium Upgrade Kit, the latest game-changer in targeted weed control technology. Available for select John Deere self-propelled sprayers, this innovative kit harnesses the power of artificial intelligence and advanced vision systems to transform your weed management practices.

Say goodbye to blanket spraying and hello to precise, cost-effective weed control. See & Spray Premium identifies and targets individual weeds in your fields, spraying only where necessary. This translates to:

  • Reduced herbicide use: Save money and minimize environmental impact by applying chemicals only to targeted weeds.
  • Enhanced profitability: Optimize your input costs and potentially see increased yields by protecting valuable crops from herbicide drift.
  • Effective weed resistance management: Target specific weeds and reduce the selection pressure that leads to herbicide resistance.
  • Unmatched versatility: Use See & Spray Premium for non-residual herbicides in corn, soybeans, cotton, and even fallow fields.
  • Operational flexibility: Maintain the ability to switch to traditional broadcast spraying at standard operating speeds whenever needed.

What's the Difference between See & Spray Premium, Select, and Ultimate?

  • See & Spray Select offers targeted and broadcast capabilities using computer vision machine-learning technology and a single product tank in fallow ground ONLY. 
  • See & Spray Ultimate provides targeted and broadcast spraying detects weeds among corn, soybeans, and cotton with applied weed pressure mapping, and uses a dual product tank. 

John Deere See & Spray Select and See & Spray Ultimate offer a wide range of spraying capabilities, but you get the best of both worlds with See & Spray Premium. Check out this Premium, Select and Ultimate comparison chart:

Experience the ExactApply Advantage

See & Spray Premium leverages the power of BoomTrac Pro 2.0, ensuring a rock-solid platform for the intelligent vision system. Cameras mounted on the boom capture detailed images, while AI processors analyze them in real-time, distinguishing weeds from crops with incredible accuracy. ExactApply technology then takes center stage, activating individual nozzles only when a weed is detected, delivering targeted sprays for unmatched precision.

Data-Driven Decisions for Smarter Farming

See & Spray Premium seamlessly integrates with the John Deere Operations Center™, transforming raw data into actionable insights. Track exactly where inputs were applied, monitor your savings from precise application, and map weed pressure for in-depth field analysis. Utilize these valuable insights to make informed decisions and optimize your weed control strategy for future seasons

Pay As You Go

Traditionally, acquiring groundbreaking farm equipment technology involved a major upfront investment. While highly effective, the initial cost might not be feasible for everyone. The new pay-as-you-go model disrupts this by shifting the payment structure. Instead of a large upfront cost, you pay only for the acres you treat with See & Spray. This offers several advantages:

  • Improved cash flow: Conserve working capital and avoid large upfront investments.
  • Greater flexibility: Only pay for what you use, tailoring your weed control to your specific needs each season.
  • Reduced risk: Experiment with See & Spray without a significant financial commitment.
  • Faster ROI: Start seeing the benefits of reduced herbicide use and potentially increased yields sooner.
