The Work Monitor will help you monitor the machine’s productivity and performance. You are shown averages, totals and productivity of the machine, such as area worked, average working speed and fuel usage. You can configure your display homepage to show Work Monitor information so you can monitor without changing screens.

Work Monitor is standard on all Gen 4 Displays.

Flags can be used to mark areas in the field that need special attention such as rocks, power poles or weed pressure.

Flags recorded on the Gen 4 can be transferred between machines. Flags can also be sync’d to John Deere Operations Center™ and viewed on a phone, tablet or laptop if you have JDLink™ Connect. Whether you’re in a machine or on the go, you can see the flags anyone has created and take appropriate action.

Flags is standard on all Gen 4 Displays.

You’ll need to complete the Work Setup section if you want to collect data. In Work Setup you enter information related to the work being done such as:

• Client, Farm and Field
• Crop Type
• Machine and implement dimensions
• Variety and rate – Seeding, Planting, Application
• Variable rate prescriptions (if being used)

This information is used to control machine functions such as rate and section control as well as document the work being done. Documentation data can be sent wirelessly or manually to Operations Center for record keeping purposes and will be available via your phone, tablet or laptop.

The following items are recorded on a Gen 4 Display for further analysis in the Operations Center:

• Client, Farm and Field
• Variety
• As Applied map of rates – Seeding, Planting, Application
• Products and/or Tank Mix
• Harvest maps, including yield and moisture
• John Deere Mobile Weather or manually entered weather and field conditions

And more…

Documentation is standard on all Gen 4 Displays.

Data Sync automatically syncs data between Gen 4 Displays and the Operations Center every 30 seconds. This means you can keep an eye on what’s going on in near real time. What’s more, your operators and partners can get access to information when they need it. This improves visibility of information across your business so people can make decisions faster and reduces the risk of losing data if something goes wrong.

Currently Data Sync syncs the following data, but we’re adding more items all the time so be sure to check back often:

• As Applied maps (seeding/planting, application)
• Harvest data (yield, moisture maps)
• John Deere Mobile Weather data maps (temperature, humidity, wind, speed, Delta T)

Data Sync requires JDLink™ Connect and is standard in all Gen 4 Displays.

When you have multiple machines in the field, you want them to work together and share information. Sharing data between machines can help multiple machines get working faster and collect data more consistently by sharing setup information such as Client, Farm, Field, Guidance Lines, Crop Type, Products and Tank Mixes. Work data such as yield maps and as applied rate maps can be shared between machines every 30 seconds and machine location every 6 seconds.

NOTE: Data transfer times can vary depending on strength of data connection. In Field Data Sharing (IFDS) is an additional option on the 4600 and 4640 displays. IFDS is not available on 4200 and 4240 displays.

Connect Mobile is an in-cab iPad application that provides a higher resolution view of what’s happening on the machine.
