Field Preparation Technology

PREPARE THE IDEAL SEEDBED

Build the foundation. Size the residue. Set the depth. Smooth the surface. A consistent field finish creates the conditions every seed needs to come up even. TruSet™ technology makes on-the-go adjustments as field conditions change, so the seedbed comes out right whether the ground is wet, dry, or somewhere in between. Leaving you with a seedbed the rest of the season can build on.

MAKE EVERY MINUTE IN THE FIELD COUNT

Whether you're racing before winter sets in or staying ahead of the planter in the spring, every pass counts. John Deere tractors, tillage tools, and technology work together to cover more ground in fewer passes. Less time covering the same field. More time getting ahead of the season.

PREPARE FIELDS LIKE A SEASONED OPERATOR

Fieldwork rarely slows down. For a less experienced operator, changing field conditions can feel overwhelming, especially when time is short. AutoTrac™ Turn Automation and AutoPath™ take the pressure off, guiding the tractor and implement seamlessly through the field, pass after pass, day and night. Extend your workday with John Deere Autonomy. Autonomous tillage lets you set the tractor to work through the night while you get the sleep you need.

Upgrade what you already own

The latest prep technology isn't exclusive to new equipment. TruSet™ aftermarket kits bring precise, in-cab adjustment to tools already in your shed. AutoPath™ and AutoTrac™ Implement Guidance can be added to equipment you already own. Worth a conversation with your dealer about what your current setup can take.

It's getting harder to find good employees who you can trust to get the work done when you need it. Having the autonomous tractor allowed us to get quite a bit of tillage done. It put us 2,000-3,000 acres ahead of where we would normally would be at this time of year.
