Section Control

John Deere Section Control automatically controls the sections on an implement and when enabled it utilizes global positioning system (GPS) information to turn implement sections on and off and reduce overlap in previously applied areas. It also can be used to reference interior and exterior field boundaries. John Deere Section Control automatically controls the implement sections as the implement passes through defined boundaries. It can be used on a variety of John Deere and competitive equipment to provide producers with the benefits throughout multiple operations and seasons.
