REVIEW OF THE NEW 6R LAUNCH EVENT AT SHREWSBURY In January we held a very well attended 6R launch event. A fabulous event was enjoyed by all and with excess of 500 attendees who came along to see the latest 6R tractors brought to the depot by John Deere exclusively for the event.

Representatives from John Deere and RVT were on hand to answer any questions and explain the great new features of these light weight, high powered ‘Go Smart, Do More’ machines. There was also a large range of machinery on show, it was nice to see everyone for a catch up. The hog roast and refreshments were enjoyed by all and it was exciting to hold an event with such a great buzz and atmosphere.

The Precision team demonstrated the updated precision technology including the ‘1 Click-Go Auto Setup’ and 2 NRoSO points were available with a tour of the John Deere trailed sprayer.

Congratulations to Stephen Forbes the lucky winner of a John Deere tool set in the prize draw.

We would like to thank everyone that attended the launch event for their valued support and we look forward to seeing the new 6R tractors rolling into the Shrewsbury depot this year.

Congratulations Stephen Forbes, Wykey Farm, winner of the prize draw John Deere tool set.

The adjustable hydraulic suspension adapts to all mowing conditions quickly. The resulting low ground pressure protects plant cover, keeps fuel consumption down, reduces wear and keeps impurities out.

An R310R knows no terrain restrictions.

Its travel range hugs ground contours with ease even in the most extreme topographies.

Oblique folding at 126 and a pivoting point close to the tractor result in better weight balance at the rear of the tractor.

F441M & F441R Industry leading technology is what puts these balers ahead of the field. These balers share many core components including features from the top-of-the-line baler, to benefit from the speed and reliability.

SAVE FUEL ON IDLE MACHINES The agricultural industry has traditionally had a habit of leaving machines at idle instead of keying off.

With Fuel prices on the rise idling machines can have a massive cost to your business potentially costing you hundreds of pounds.

Through telematics on both your John Deere and JCB you can access utilization information as a percentage. On average we see a lot of machines spending 3040% of there life idling.

You cannot manage what you cannot measure but with John Deere JDLink and JCB livelink this is possible from the office or on the move with mobile apps.

...a lot of machines spending 30-40% of there life idling

JCB BUCKET BRUSHES From £2,000 W

NE

In stock or available to order with quick turnaround!

There are multiple strategies to reduce this figure from incentivising the lowest idle time on farm to a bonus structure connected to machine idle hours. The best results can be when the operator takes ownership of one machine and the worst machines are with multiple drivers.

Talk to us about retrofitting telematics to older machines, or get signed up for free with machines with existing telematics and start managing your idle time to save on costs now.

KUHN STRIGER 600R STRIP TILL Capitalise on the advantages of direct seeding while preserving a cover of residue.

Organic matter and moisture are stored in the inter-row. Each element is independent of the others thanks to the parallelogram system which ensures excellent ground following.

With the STRIGER, the potential of the field is maintained while preserving soil life, limiting erosion and reducing the surface worked by 80%

High area performance in both minimum cultivation and ploughed land. It’s easily pulled with a large capacity hopper that holds 2300 or 3500L for highly efficient, non-stop drilling. Double disc openers ensure smooth, fast and troublefree sowing. The opener discs are especially positioned for effective penetration even through hard ground and high amounts of surface residue. Precise seeding depth gives even crop emergence and optimum yields.

TIPS

Newport technician Edwin has carried out many expert checks. Having started his career at RVT as an apprentice 15 years ago his particular favourite is the 30 series. He has worked on these tractors since they where launched he has a keen eye for detail and knows exactly what to look for.

In a few recent checks he has found badly worn pick up hitch slides which can result in poor hitch latching and particularly worn hooks.

Seats also on this age of tractor can become worn there are a couple of alternatives repair kits for rollers and bearings, a replacement seat can be more cost effective in this case.

Fault codes can have some simple repairs if you know what you are looking for. Tls and steering ball joints can also be replaced if found worn using Vapourmatic parts for a real cost-effective repair.

Poor cab and front suspension can be an easy repair if the accumulators have gas replaced.

EXPERT CHECK SUCCESS! A C441R wrapper baler came into RVT Welshpool depot for an Expert Check. The technicians noticed the mounting of the main drive for the right hand side had three out of the four bolts missing. If he hadn’t had the expert check there’s a possibility that this could have been a very costly brake down at the beginning of the grass season!

PERFORMANCE EXPERT ALERTS Performance Expert Alerts have been introduced as new category of Expert Alerts. Until October 2020 the focus is on machine uptime was with Critical and High Expert Alerts.

With Performance Expert Alerts as new category, machine connectivity and advanced data analytics are also leveraged to. Performance Expert Alerts can: 1) Detect automatically under performing machines 2) Notify the RVT Connect Hub and provide recommendations Performance Expert Alerts utilize the same system framework as the Uptime Expert Alerts: 1. Machine performance data is provided through JDLink.

2. John Deere factory engineers and data scientists identify trends and other indications of underperforming machine conditions by analyzing engineering datasets.

3. This technical know-how is captured within specific detection rules, which are loaded into an analytical software.

4. The analytical software automatically evaluates the machine performance data in real-time using the pre-defined detection rules.

5. Once the automatic analysis identifies an underperforming condition, RVT is notified via emai and receives optimization recommendations eliminating the need of data analysis.

ALL THINGS SLURRY !

MANURE SENSING Supported by the near-infrared sensor (NIR), John Deere Manure Sensing records all relevant manure nutrient levels such as nitrogen (N), ammonium-N (NH4), phosphate (P), potassium (K) and dry matter. Tests have shown that liquid manure has very strong fluctuations of nitrogen (N), phosphate (P) and potassium (K) between different loads (and even within loads) with a variance factor of 4-6 for nitrogen, a factor of 10 for dry matter and a factor of 25 for phosphate. This makes continuous measurement so important.

The ingredients are continuously measured during the application, more than 4000 times per second. That compensates for nutrient variations between different storage bins, differences between storage and transport as well as differences within individual tank. In addition, the ingredient content is measured permanently directly before the application, not just while filling the tanker.

Tests have shown that liquid manure has very strong fluctuations of nitrogen (N), phosphate (P) and potassium (K) between different loads (and even within loads) John Deere Manure Sensing enables significant improvements in accuracy of information and application of nutrients in liquid manure compared to taking one or a limited number of samples per storage container or transport vehicle.

The John Deere HarvestLab 3000™ sensor (NIR sensor) and the respective calibration are developed to deliver a higher accuracy level compared to other available systems on the market today. The NIR sensor with manure calibrations has been benchmarked against both commonly used analysis methods in laboratories (wet chemical) and NIRS lab analysis. The results indicate that the relative error (and standard deviation) is in the range of wet chemical laboratory tests.

BULK PURCHASING PARTS SAVES Simon and Lorraine of L & J Bennion are Agricultural Contractors based on a farm with a beef herd near Middlewich, they also offer cattle B&B. The business employs up to 12 operators in peak season. Machinery included in the fleet are ploughs, power harrows, hedge cutters, rear discharge spreaders, John Deere mowers, a flat-lift, post knocker and crimper.

Carbide wearing parts have increased in availability in the last few years.

NOW ONLY Although there is an .50 increase in cost over standard parts the Carbide lasts much longer. Less changing of parts equals more time spent in the field and less metal in the soil for long term savings.

We find the RVT Field Sales support is 110% and their knowledge of our machinery is ‘second to none’

‘We have changed how we purchased our wearing parts, we used to use lots of different companies to supply our parts from Amazon to Sumo and Kuhn ploughs. RVT Field Parts can offer us all the genuine and nongenuine parts we need together in one bulk order at great prices, and we also bulk purchase our oils with RVT which, all in all, is a massive cost saving for our business.

As the farm is over an hour away from to the nearest parts depot we really rely on the RVT Field Parts team. RVT also provide us with a parts box on-site with wearing parts and back up tractors parts to use in emergencies. We find the RVT parts support is 110% and their knowledge of our machinery is ‘second to none’.

Dave Barker is always available and through his extensive knowledge we’ll always receive the right part. He sees what’s required before we know it and he has a good understanding of our business with that added personal touch’ says Simon.

RVT is always our first port of call due to the very reliable service and we know that their knowledge of our machinery is excellent. We like to purchase from RVT for the great back up support we receive throughout the working season too’ says Jonty.

Get ready for Grass!

TECH

10 STEPS TO BETTER MOWER CONDITIONER PERFORMANCE 1.

Replace oil in both the swivel hitch gearbox and the main gearbox at the slip clutch. This oil should be changed once a year and should be checked regularly during the silage season Following the drive shaft back to the slip clutch, watch out for wear in the knuckles of universal joints. Make sure your PTO covers and holding chains are in place.

Set up the flotation springs correctly and grease the top links that are used to set cutting height.

Most mower-conditioners use a triple V belt to drive the conditioner.

If you find your mower gets blocked in heavy grass then the V-belt is slipping — either the belt needs to be tensioned or replaced.

The cutterbar oil should be changed every season. Before draining oil, it’s a good idea to run the mower for a minute. This heats up the old oil and allows it to flow out of the drain hole faster. The mower should be jacked up on its left side to give a fall for the oil.

2.

3.

4.

5.

TIPS

6.

Underneath the cutterbar, check the skids regularly. The fastest way to damage your knives is to continue with skids broken or missing.

7. Check deflectors on top hats (large drums on either side of cutter bar) for wear. Replace as needed.

8. Knives should be replaced when damaged or after 500 acres, whichever comes first. Blunt knives can cause more fuel usage 9. Keep a close eye on the conditioner. Worn bushels will make conditioner spikes spin out of balance or even detach, causing heavy vibration. If you feel this happening, check conditioner for loose spikes.

10. Check the cutterbar drums for loose bearings. If badly worn these bearings can drop down into the cutterbar gearbox and do untold damage to the gear teeth. Again, heavy vibration is a tell-tale sign of a worn bearing.

TECH

MOWER MAINTENANCE TIPS 1.

Get your mower serviced regularly. Sharp blades cut the grass rather than shear. Levelling of the deck helps give a good level cut.

2.

Aim to reduce lawn height by one third. It’s a good idea to aim to reduce the lawn height by only one third each time you mow – any more would decrease the health and vigour of the grass.

TIPS

Blunt mower blades

Sharp mower blades

3.

Cut fortnightly early spring. The grass needs cutting less frequently in early spring as it is growing more slowly at this time of year. Cutting it fortnightly is fine until the weather warms up in late spring.

5.

Get the grass height right. Most lawn grass is best kept at 2.5cm-4cm tall. In patches that get more wear and are heavily used, leave it a little longer, say 4cm-5cm. In shade, you could leave it still longer, at 7cm-8cm.

4.

Cut weekly in late spring and summer. If you mow less frequently, you’ll break the ‘one third’ rule, as you’ll have to cut off more than one third of the grass’s height to keep it looking neat. You may need to mow twice weekly when growth rates peak in late spring.

6.

Adjust cutting height. Adjust the cutting height to suit the weather and season. Raise the height of the blade a little at the start and end of the season. If it’s hot and dry, raise the blade to let the grass grow longer. The extra moisture held in the longer foliage helps keep the grass green and shades the soil.

i MOW® ROBOTIC MOWER Doesn’t just mow the lawn, it also provides fully automatic lawn care tailored to your garden - meaning you can send it out to mow at a time that suits you.

Once the iMOW® has finished mowing or it's powerful lithium-ion battery needs charging, the robotic mower will automatically return to it's docking station to charge. And because iMOW® works so fast, you can enjoy your lawn unhindered.

All STIHL iMOW® robotic mowers come with a 5 year extended warranty

CONNECTIVE TECHNOLOGY Wherever you are, the iMOW® app gives you full control of your mower via your mobile device.

The iMOW® app connects to any iMOW® C or PC model and the intuitively designed interface enables you to configure the mowing plan, pause or start new mowing operations, read status messages and performance data from the comfort of your home or office – all in real time.

You can download the iMOW® app from the App Store and Google play.

RMI 422 SERIES iMOW®

RMI 632 SERIES iMOW®

If you want to mow a small to medium-sized lawn fully automatically, the STIHL RMI 422 range of iMOW® robotic mowers offers a practical solution. The mulching mowing deck is powered by an integrated lithium-ion battery and the topof-the-line RMI 422 PC works with the iMOW® app, letting you send the iMOW® out to mow, view and change the mowing plan and much more.

The STIHL RMI 632 iMOW® range offers the perfect all-rounder if you want to mow a large lawn automatically. It has a powerful lithium-ion battery and a cutting width of 28 cm. The RMI 632 C and PC work with the iMOW® app, letting you send the iMOW® out to mow, view and change the mowing plan and much more.

Available in three models for lawns up to 1,700m² and gradients up to 40% (4 in 10).

Available in four models for lawns up to 5,000m² and gradients up to 45% (4.5 in 10).

Powered by Lithium-Ion battery technology, no emissions or fumes.

The adaptive charging system aligns the charge time with the cutting schedule, so choosing a slow and gentle charge more often will help you to save energy.

Mows your lawn automatically, the built in sensors safely react to moving and static objects within the garden, which in turn moves iMOW® to cut in another direction.

Uses a double sharpened mulching blade to mow the grass and ensure a precise cutting pattern. Safety measures have been put in place to stop the blade automatically as soon as someone tries to lift the iMOW®.

Mows and cares for your lawn at the same time: it shreds the grass clippings finely, which fall back onto the lawn acting as a effective fertiliser (known as mulching) providing vital nourishment to help grow a thick and healthy lawn.

Come rain or shine iMOW® keeps mowing until the job is done. Adaptive slope speed technology means iMOW® can mow inclines of up to 45% with ease and adjusts its speed to suit the mowing conditions, moving slower over long, thick grass or on hilly terrain.

MYJOHNDEERE.COM

Sprayer & GPS Product Support Specialist

WELCOME Welcome to the Precision Ag pages of the magazine, this time of year is always our busiest getting ready for the spring either installing new GPS equipment or servicing existing hardware. Supply of equipment is still an issue due to the shortage of semi-conductors, and Deere are forecasting this to be the same throughout 2022 just remember to keep removing equipment at night or when not in use in case of theft as we still have this is happening around our territory.

We are seeing regular updates to MyJohnDeere, you will notice some nice changes to the Field Analyser and Work Planner which make it more intuitive and easier to navigate. Capturing as applied data is getting more common and with the increased use of wireless data transfer the ability to view this data instantly and make agronomic decisions is benefiting our customers.

In terms of display updates, there was a small update released a few weeks ago which we have mentioned some highlights in these pages and there will be another update usually in March which we look forward to seeing new features released, don’t forget any tractor with JD Link can remotely have the display software updated. JD Link and machine operating data is gaining momentum in terms of analysing machine performance and utilisation we are working with Harper Adams University in this area which we can share more information on later in the year.

Don’t forget for any technical support issues please ring our new support line on 07723 466995 this will increase our ability to manage and support you in the field especially during busy periods, interestingly the platform we use to enable this was bought by John Deere end of last year and integrates with there management programs.

Hope you have a good spring and keep a look out for our Precision in Practice videos to show you how our customers are benefiting from our guidance!

MAKE DATA DRIVEN DECISIONS FOR YOUR BUSINESSES

BETA RETIRES. THE UPDATED FIELD ANALYZER IS HERE With the new update Field Analyzer will have an updated look that blends the best parts of the previous Field Analyzer and Field Analyzer Beta.

You will now find just Field Analyzer in the Analysis menu in Operations Centre web as Field Analyzer Beta has been retired.

In addition, Field Analyzer is simplified in a few ways to streamline data analysis and create a common experience across the analysis tools.

Simplified Field Analyzer now includes (fig.1.): 1.

New fields and work records lists making it easier to find what you want to review

2.

Action buttons are consolidated above the map to assist with more precise analysis

Reports now feature larger maps to improve reporting experience

John Deere are still adding some functions from the Field Analyzer Beta into the finalized version.

• To edit crop, seasons or harvest data or deleting work, you will have to use the link to the previous Field Analyzer in the “Edit” menu.

• Once edits are available in Field Analyzer, Access to the previous version will be removed.

Benefits: • Easier navigation to map layers ensuring a more efficient selection of fields and documentation layers to be analyzed • Improved styling of Field Analyzer that is more common with Operation Centre tools to improve the ease of use of analysis tools • PDF reports with improved map layouts

FULLY AUTONOMOUS 8R During a press conference at CES 2022, John Deere revealed a fully autonomous tractor that’s ready for large-scale production. The machine combines Deere’s 8R tractor, TruSet-enabled chisel plow, GPS guidance system, and new advanced technologies.

1. Launch in North America A limited number of tractors will be delivered to North American customers this year. The launch of the brand in Europe is currently not planned, as safety regulations currently do not allow the use of autonomous vehicles.

2. Model and equipment The 8R410 looks very similar in appearance to a conventional tractor of the series but is equipped with state-of-the-art technology for controlling and monitoring the tractor and mounted excavator.

• Six pairs of stereo cameras, which enables 360-degree obstacle detection and the calculation of distance.

• Images captured by the cameras are passed through a deep neural network that classifies each pixel in approximately 100 milliseconds and determines if the machine continues to move or stops, depending on if an obstacle is detected.

• Continuously checking its position relative to a geofence, ensuring it is operating where it is supposed to, and is within less than an inch of accuracy.

3. Use of the tractor Farmers only need to transport the machine to a field and configure

it for autonomous operation. Using John Deere Operations Centre Mobile, they can swipe from left to right to start the machine. While the machine is working the farmer can leave the field to focus on other tasks, while monitoring the machine’s status from their mobile device.

John Deere Operations Centre Mobile provides access to: • live video • images • data and metrics and allows a farmer to adjust speed and working depth and more.

In the event of any job quality anomalies or machine health issues, farmers will be notified remotely and can make adjustments to optimise the performance of the machine.

4. Device combination Currently, the technology for the 8R410 is available in combination with a special John Deere chisel plow. In the coming years, John Deere will work on the availability of the technology for further machines and attachments.

RIGHTSPOT Your Nozzle-by-Nozzle Advantage

RightSpot uses blended pulse technology to achieve consistent coverage and reduced skips. Pulsing nozzles maintain a precise user-defined boom pressure allowing the operator to achieve a consistent rate and droplet size at a wider variety of speeds and across difficult terrain.

W

Inconsistent droplet size = coverage issues Without nozzle-by-nozzle technology, achieving consistent coverage across the entire field is difficult. RightSpot monitors and maintains the right droplet size prescribed for the product, ensuring the right amount of product applied to do its job effectively while reducing risk of drift to neighbouring crops.

Coverage around curves With turn compensation and individual nozzle control, your field edges will look just as good as the rest of your field. Apply just the right amount with a consistent rate applied on the inner and outer portions of the boom.

Diagram below: Target rate is green. On the traditional sprayer, lighter colour on the left side of the boom and darker on the right indicates under and overapplying.

JOHN DEERE APPRENTICESHIPS There’s never been a better time to consider an apprenticeship with John Deere. As the agricultural machinery business becomes more technologically advanced, utilising satellite navigation systems, Formula 1 transmission technology, computerised controls and advanced, fuel-efficient engines, the need for skilled people working in the industry becomes ever greater.

It’s not just about the machines either. Sophisticated parts and service systems require the same skills too. The John Deere dealer of tomorrow is a challenging business, with a wide range of opportunities and exciting prospects for the right people. Whatever your interest, there is a role for you.

All John Deere apprenticeship programmes combine paid employment with training, leading to nationally recognised and valued qualifications.

Apprentices work at a RVT but also spend time at the John Deere Apprentice Training Centre and at John Deere’s headquarters, near Nottingham. You are supported by your employer and a dedicated adviser, gaining valuable workplace skills by undertaking practical tasks and experiencing real-life challenges. Every apprentice is monitored by the adviser, who makes regular visits to RVT for on-the-job support and guidance.

The apprenticeship programmes last from one to four years, depending on the programme. Most of your time is spent with RVT where you learn on the job, but with the added benefit of classroom and workshop training at the John Deere Apprentice Training Centre.

THE ALL-NEW RVT ISUZU D-MAX PICK-UPS ARE PRACTICAL, PROFESSIONAL FOR WORK AND FIT INTO FAMILY LIFE Based near Ellesmere, North Shropshire, Spunhill Ltd is a family-owned business with twelve agronomists covering all aspects of crop protection, seed, sprays and fertiliser for local farms across the West Midlands and Wales. Jon Watson, Spunhill agronomist, brought in his Isuzu DL20 pickup for a first service at RVT Isuzu, Shrewsbury so we asked him what he likes about the New Isuzu D-Max.

With the new ADAS (Advanced Driver Assist Systems) as standard the Isuzu has a EURO NCAP 5 Star Best in Class safety rating.

If you are interested in more information on the New Isuzu D-Max range or would like to book a test drive, orders now being take for 2023 delivery, please contact RVT Isuzu on 01743 289200.

‘We like the new design of the new model Isuzu range, they look smart, professional and fit in with the image of our business. As well as good looks, they are practical high performance off-road vehicles for agronomists to take on all types of tough country terrain and farm tracks, whilst still giving a comfortable driving experience throughout the working day. It is also reassuring to know the new Isuzu’s have 5 years/125,000 miles warranty and are backed-up with an equipped workshop with three fully trained 4x4 technicians. Plus, they offer a spare courtesy Isuzu pick-up if one is ever required so I can still reach the fields for crop walking. RVT Isuzu really offer a professional back-up support, servicing, maintenance, and parts aftersales service.

Out of work I like how these pick-ups also fit into my family life, they have a high standard of safety, comfy seating for all the family and they are fitted with ISOFix child seat locking.’

ISUZU D-MAX PICK-UPS ‘LOVE 2 STAY’ AT TOURING AND GLAMPING RESORT In February the RVT Isuzu D-Max demonstration pick-ups visited Love2Stay, a touring and glamping resort with on a 22-acre site offering panoramic views across to Wales and the Shropshire Hills. They offer activities for all the family ranging from paddle-boarding and kayaking, bush-craft skills to an army style assault course and even a Bio-top natural swimming pool, forest school and a fishing lake.

Thank you to Laura Wilde for her kind hospitality and RVT Isuzu look forward to more extreme outdoor adventures with Love2Stay!

The pick-ups were very at home in this environment demonstrating features that excel in the outdoor leisure industry. These deluxe Isuzu’s have a 3.5ton towing capacity for towing a touring caravan or trailer tent, 5 Year, 125,000mile warranty with Roadside assistance and plenty of luggage space for packing everything required for going on your outdoor adventures.
