For model year 2025, farmers will need a G5 integrated display. Producers can purchase a retrofit kit for that as well. John Deere is also offering two versions of its Individual Nozzle Control (INC) systems. One is INC Pro, which is available back to the 4730 and 4830 sprayers with 100-foot or greater booms. “It’s more of a mid-spec option with 15 Hz pulsing but still gives you that individual nozzle control,” he said. “We’re still putting the chemical where it needs to go, avoiding under application and making sure we’re using the product in the tank to the best of our ability.” INC HD is for high-flow applications. “If you’re doing high rates of nitrogen, INC HD is the solution,” he said. “That’s the biggest difference between the two.” And another John Deere sprayer upgrade is Pressure Recirculation/Product Reclaim. This boom plumbing feature, available from the factory on new machines but retrofittable back to model year 2018, helps farmers reduce product waste. “It allows you to prime your boom system but also reclaim the product from the boom plumbing back into the tank,” he said. This technology can save producers up to 30 gallons of product, Barry added. More information on John Deere’s precision sprayer upgrades can be found online or at a local John Deere dealer.
