Overview

Help operators perform more efficiently in the field

With clear and structured naming conventions for Fields and Guidance Lines.

Automatically clean up your field data using boundaries

When an operator makes a mistake with documentation. For example, if an operator forgets to change fields on the display when moving to a new field, as long as you have boundaries in John Deere Operations Center™, the Field Detection feature it will automatically move the data to the correct field.

Boundaries are required for machine automation features

Like Section Control and AutoTrac™ Turn Automation.

Boundaries will allow you to monitor how much of a field is completed

From in the cab or remotely.

Setting up your location data in Operations Center web before your operators get to the field saves your team time and increases fieldwork precision from pass to pass. This information can be reused across field operations over time.

You can create all of these Land Assets in Land, or you can create them on a display in the field and import them into the Land tool in Operations Center. Whether you create them in Land or in the field depends on what you want to use the assets for.

Best practice is to create Boundaries and Guidance Lines in the field using RTK accuracy as this is accurate to 2.5 cm and repeatable over time. You should use this method if you want to use machine automation features like Section Control, AutoTrac™ Turn Automation, or Boundary Track.

However, if you only want to use Boundaries for record keeping, and you don’t require accurate and repeatable Guidance Lines, then you can create these in the Land tool or import them from another source, which can be much faster and easier.
