In this episode of The FarmCast presented by 21st Century Equipment, Mike Wemhoff, Troy Randall and Preston Jueneman dive into their hands-on experience with the new autonomous tractor from John Deere. They break down how the system works, from setting up AutoPath guidance and autonomy boundaries to the tractor’s smart safety features. These include automatic obstacle detection. The team shares their learning process through field demos. They also discuss the importance of good connectivity (thanks to JDLink Boost) and how to use Remote Display Control (RDC) through John Deere’s Operations Center Mobile app. This autonomous tractor is paving the way for smarter, safer, and more efficient farming.
