I am not sure if Ag Leader has a land leveling application. If you are only doing land sloping (similar to a laser, either single grade or dual grade ) I know Trimble and AMW both have that built in. With your Deere globes supplying RTK, it is a very affordable system, less than $15,000 for components/unlocks and software.

I am a Trimble dealer so I tend to be partial to it but, for land contouring we us Optisurface with Field level II. It is just ported into the Monitor as a 3rd party GPS. Your JD RTK globes can be used with any of the GPS grade control systems out there.

If you have all deere equipment call Gwen Brittan with Precision terrain, this is route we are going to go We will probably still purchase iGrade as well.

Max Cut allows users to set a series of sub-cuts needed to make large grade changes, a task that typically requires manual overrides, Hogrefe notes. John Deere added a new function called Max Cut to iGrade this summer to simplify ditch cleaning and other grading tasks. Now growers can reclaim ditches themselves using a lot of the precision technology they already own.” Many ditches have been left untouched for years. “In the Midwest, we are also seeing more people wanting to manage their ditches.

“In Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado, we are seeing more demand for land leveling,” he says. Hogrefe confirms that recent wet springs have accelerated interest in harnessing existing on-farm GPS capabilities to improve drainage. When used with iGrade, the Pro Plus program’s sophisticated planning features complement more rudimentary iGrade drainage planning capabilities and automate the grading process, says Tyler Hogrefe, a senior technical product manager with John Deere Agricultural Management Solutions.

They include iGrade, a controller and software package that automates land grading, ditching and other distance-based hydraulic commands, which Deere introduced in the fall of 2010.ĭeere also offers two software packages for generating ditches and levees: Surface Water Pro and Surface Water Pro Plus. John Deere offers three options for GPS-assisted grading and ditching using GreenStar 26 monitors.
