Greater Fuel Efficiency and Operator In-Cab Comfort With CommandDrive™

The CommandDrive™ powertrain system delivers the confidence to tackle the most challenging terrain while maximizing efficiency in self-propelled spraying. Continuously monitoring for wheel slip, CommandDrive automatically transfers power to the wheels that need it most, providing real-time traction control so you can maintain a consistent speed and spray pattern over large hills and variable field conditions. When additional power is required, the system seamlessly increases engine rpm; on flat terrain, Auto Mode intelligently matches engine speed to demand, maintaining your selected ground speed and application rate at lower rpm. The result is over 20% fuel savings, reduced DEF consumption, quieter in-cab operation, and improved traction - helping you spray more efficiently, comfortably, and confidently in any conditions.

Widespread Widths are Available with New Leader® Dry Spreaders

The DS20 and DS30 G‑Series, as well as the DS30 NL720 Dry Spreaders deliver industry‑leading productivity with spread widths up to 105 ft (32 m) on the G-Series and up to 120 ft (36.5 m) with the DS30 NL720, while an adjustable spinner assembly enables fast, precise calibration for variable‑rate applications and consistent, widespread patterns. With the 58 in (147.3 m) clearance of the 600R chassis, operators can achieve greater spread widths - covering more acres per day with fewer passes to reduce fuel use and compaction. Integrated technologies like AutoTrac™ automated steering and John Deere Section Control minimize overlap and ensure uniform product placement across the field, lowering input costs. With pressure‑ and flow‑compensated hydraulics maintaining consistent spinner speed even at reduced RPMs, the John Deere and New Leader combination delivers dependable spread performance, improved material trajectory, and the flexibility to extend applications later into the season.
