John Deere Section Control

Section Control performance tuning helps optimize seed placement by adjusting planter on/off delays at the intersection of perpendicular passes, reducing skips and overlaps. Operators can also customize skip or overlap distances and visualize planter timing to improve driving performance.

Section Control boosts efficiency by automatically turning implement sections on and off, reducing seed costs by an average of 4.3% and minimizing yield loss from double applications by up to 12%. It also eases operator fatigue and stress, enabling longer work hours and better performance from less experienced operators.

You can quickly toggle and monitor Section Control from any run page, using visualization tools to adjust driving patterns and reduce skips or gaps. Overlap Control improves yield accuracy by automatically adjusting header width over previously harvested areas.
