Capture in-field weather information for on-the-go decision making. Accurate information is critical when making decisions surrounding product application, so it is important to use weather information that is specific to the operator and area being covered. John Deere Mobile Weather displays five critical values needed when determining the effectiveness of product application.
True wind speed is wind experienced by a stationary object. Apparent wind speed is the total wind experienced without compensation for machine speed and direction.
John Deere Mobile Weather utilizes a third-party weather sensor that connects to the John Deere Application Controller 1120. Weather data is collected and distributed to the Gen 4 4600 CommandCenter© Display or 4640 Universal Display for viewing and documentation. A John Deere Mobile Weather activation is required to utilize the Application Controller 1120 in order to monitor weather information and is included with the purchase of the product.
Producers running a Gen 4 4600 CommandCenter Display, 4640 Universal Display, or GreenStar© 3 2630 Display are capable of documenting weather data; all other compatible GreenStar 2 Displays are only able to display the weather data without the ability to record. Weather information collected on a Gen 4 Display is compatible with the John Deere Operations Center. Once the weather information is collected in the GreenStar 3 2630, it can then be transferred to APEX© software system for further analysis and record keeping. APEX has the ability to map air temperature, wind speed, and Delta T, while wind direction and humidity is available to be seen within the summary information.
Utilize the customizable alerts and weather information to make educated decisions about when to spray. Monitoring temperature, wind speed, wind direction, Delta T, and relative humidity on the go allows operators to quickly and easily understand if the weather conditions are favorable or not for product application. Built-in alerts make it easy for operators to set operational parameters to know when unfavorable weather conditions are present. Having weather information in the cab allows operators to increase product efficacy and decrease the risk of chemical drift.
Delta T is a calculation that indicates the acceptable conditions to apply product; the value indicates if the product applied will evaporate prior to being absorbed by the plant. Delta T is a calculated by subtracting the wet bulb temperature from the dry bulb temperature. When applying, Delta T should be between 2â°C (4â°F) and 8â°C (14â°F), and not greater than 10â°C (18â°F). A higher Delta T value results in a faster evaporation rate and shorter droplet lifetime. Applicators can utilize the customizable alerts to notify the operator when Delta T is too high and product application is not favorable in order to ensure maximum product effectiveness.
John Deere Mobile Weather provides system accuracy within +/- 6.4 km/h (+/- 4 mph) up to a 64.3 km/h (40 mph) apparent wind. Apparent wind speed is the total wind experienced without compensation for machine speed and direction. Operating with a headwind and tailwind increases vehicle turbulence, negatively impacting wind speed accuracy. For optimal performance, Mobile Weather is recommended to be utilized in vehicle operation speeds less than 32 km/h (20 mph). John Deere Mobile Weather is not recommended for use in dry-box applications.
NOTE: Specifications are for a new sensor. System performance may vary based upon application.
NOTE: When the wind speed is less than 7.4 km/h (4.6 mph) and/or air temperature is below 0â°C (32â° F), wind, temperature, and relative humidity readings will be less accurate.
NOTE: RMS error is a measure of the differences between values predicted by a model and the values actually observed.

This document lists all the compatible equipment approved with the software update 20-1 release and is subject to change with newer software updates. To ensure complete and proper compatibility, the most current version of implement control unit software, Generation 4 Display software, or compatible farm management information software (FMIS) should be used. Non-current software versions will require an update before support can be provided. Unapproved software version configurations will not be supported.
The software update 20-1 release is only compatible with 4600 CommandCenter© v2 processors. Software update 17-2 is the last release that was compatible with 4600 v1 processors.

StarFire Receivers
StarFire Receivers can be updated in the following ways:
Additionally, StarFire iTC Receivers are no longer supported with software update 2017-1 and newer software. StarFire 6000 Receivers require software version 3.80F or higher when used with AutoTrac Implement Guidance.
John Deere Operations Center
To use RDA on a Generation 4 CommandCenter Display with a GreenStar 3 2630 Display connected in the same machine, GreenStar 3 2630 software version 3.22.1095 (SU2014-1) or higher is required (for 4600 CommandCenter Display and 4640 Universal Display only).
GreenStar Rate Controller and GreenStar Rate Controller Dry
GreenStar Rate Controller Dry is supported with display software update 2017-2 and newer. The 4600 and 4200 CommandCenter Displays and 4640 and 4240 Universal Displays support documentation and section control of up to five GreenStar Rate Controller units.
To update the GreenStar Rate Controller and GreenStar Rate Controller Dry, utilize a Generation 4 Display USB port. John Deere dealers can also utilize Service ADVISOR. GDC 2.11A was the last software version available through Software Manager. GDC 2.20A has been available since spring 2015 and contains diagnostic language updates. This software can only be obtained through Service ADVISOR.
John Deere Rate Controller 2000
The Generation 4 Displays and John Deere Rate Controller 2000 can support documentation and control up to five operations. ISO controllers such as SeedStar or TruSet can be used alongside a John Deere Rate Controller 2000 that is documenting additional operations. The John Deere Rate Controller 2000 will not control the planter clutches or half-, third-, or quarter-width disconnects on a John Deere planter.
