Agriculture Technology Podcast

TruSet Tillage Technology from John Deere is the latest topic of conversation on this episode of the Agriculture Technology Podcast’s series, “Jake and Tony Talk.” Nothing against no-tillers, minimum tillers, or cover-croppers – but this episode is all about tillage. John Deere’s TruSet Tillage Technology is an automated system that controls tillage. The operator has in-cab control of the tillage tool, whether that be depth, finishing attachment, down pressure, or side-to-side leveling. That in-cab control is what allows you to increase productivity in the short tillage windows, and ultimately cover more acres in a day, spending more time tilling and less time manually adjusting for changing conditions. Tune in as Jake & Tony talk the specifics of TruSet. ----- Visit www.rdoequipment.com/more/resources/podcasts to find and view this episode's transcript. ----- Missed an episode?

Tune in and listen to the advantages of the CommandPro joystick – and how it might be beneficial in your tractor. ----- Visit www.rdoequipment.com/more/resources/podcasts to find and view this episode's transcript. ----- Missed an episode?
