Weigh the Benefits

John Deere grade-control solutions can help reduce labor needs, improve accuracy, complete tasks faster, and save material rework compared to working without grade-management technology.

Create Your Own Path

Ranging from 2D Grade Guidance and 2D Grade Control up to 3D Grade Guidance and SmartGrade™ for 3D Grade Control, our grade-management technology is ready to evolve with the demands of your application.

Skilled Labor

Running machines equipped with grade control lets operators of all experience levels quickly produce reliable results, helping to optimize operator efficiency for novices and pros alike.

Risk reduction

Integration of key grade-control components such as wire harnesses and sensors into the machine’s cabin and structures helps shield them from the risk of damage or theft.

Payload-Weighing

The SmartWeigh™ payload-weighing solution for mid-size and large John Deere wheel loaders allows operators to load accurately and without rework. Available as a factory-installed or field-kit option, Deere-designed SmartWeigh™ is fully integrated with the John Deere Operations Center™, so payload data is available whenever and from wherever you need to access it. Fully supported by the Deere dealer network, SmartWeigh™ is designed to maximize jobsite efficiency and increase the profitability of your operation

Avoid overload

Achieving accurate payload targets helps eliminate having to unload excess weight or incur fines.

Change it up

Quickly and easily switch attachments while maintaining accuracy by using conveniently stored calibrations for up to 10 unique attachments.

Keep it simple

The system’s tare function factors in hopper or pallet weight to accurately determine the weight of the material without needing to make separate calculations. Product mix/blend mode makes it easy to combine different materials for special product composites and customized jobs.

Obstacle Detection

To protect your crew and the tools they use, John Deere invented SmartDetect™. SmartDetect™ combines cameras, radar, and machine learning to provide operators with a better and safer view of their surroundings. The system alerts operators when an object enters the machine’s projected travel path, allowing your machine to be on the lookout for you. With SmartDetect™ Assist, the machine can automatically stop before coming in contact with a person.

Object Detection Technology

Object Detection technology, paired with a high-resolution camera and a dedicated display, helps enhance the operator experience and increase situational awareness. In addition, the industry-first vehicle trajectory logic technology overlays the projected vehicle reverse path to illustrate where the vehicle will move next.

Advanced Vision System

Building on the capabilities of object detection, the Advanced Vision System includes two digital cameras mounted on the sideview mirror frames and an integrated camera view inside the cab. These provide a wider field of vision, improved clarity, and increased spatial awareness of surroundings.
