In this field demo, RDO tillage expert Tyler Z. breaks down how Deere’s autonomous-ready tractors monitor their surroundings and manage tillage work. Sixteen perception cameras provide a full 360-degree view, allowing the machine to detect obstacles and stop as needed. From there, Tyler shows how settings like gang angle, basket pressure, go-to points and more can be adjusted through Ops Center Mobile. This allows operators the same control they’d expect from in-cab tillage, but from wherever they’re working next. For customers working within tight operating windows, that combination of visibility and remote control is what helps them gain acres without adding hours. 🎥 See the field run and learn more about autonomous tillage 👇
