New G5 display for 2024 John Deere tractors

John Deere has integrated its new G5 CommandCenter display into all 6, 7, 8 and 9 series machines ready for the 2024 model year.

The new G5 Plus CommandCenter includes documentation, data sync, JDLinkTM connectivity, variable rate application, section control and AutoTracTM guidance as standard on all six-cylinder 6R, 7, 8 and 9 series tractors.

The G5 Plus CommandCenter was designed to provide a consistent user experience. It does so by providing full-screen viewing of more modules, shortcut keys and precision agriculture capabilities.

Improved design

Operators can expect an easier setup and increased operator confidence thanks to a customisable interface. John Deere says an improved design provides a better operating experience and maximises uptime.

Features include includes AutoTrac, section control, data synchronisation, documentation, over-the-air updates and remote display access. Users can easily switch between languages with the option to set active and alternate languages.

The 12.8-inch screen is 33% larger than the previous display, comes with 1080P high definition and a faster processor. The update is said to ensure the highest levels of precision agriculture efficiency, ease of use and operator comfort.

On the 6R machine, a redesigned steering column and new steering wheel provides the next level in comfort, especially on the road. A new dampening system is available on both Premium and Ultimate seats.

The 2024 7R model features a new steering system with a 50% increase in steering capacity. This is made possible by larger steering cylinders, which are fitted as standard to all 7R machines.

To enhance operator comfort during transport, the 7R features a new automotive type steering system. This naturally re-centres itself and improves line holding. Known as reactive steering, the feature can be easily activated via a softkey.

Two additional front brake discs enhance the operator’s experience and transport performance. All 7, 8 and 9 tractors have a new high-resolution corner post display and a built-in StarFireTM 7000.
