Operator’s station layout with automatic filling options

M900i operator’s station with optional automatic filling

With the optional automatic filling, the required liquid content can be easily programmed to the actual needs on the in-cab display. During filling, a digital tank-level sensor accurately measures all the liquid entering the tank. Once the required volume is reached, the automatic filling process stops, and if needed warns the operator with a horn that filling is complete. At the same time the system automatically redirects pump suction to the solution tank for additional mixing.  The digital tank-level sensor monitors the total tank content; at the nominal volume filling valve will close automatically to prevent overflow. The automatic filling option also includes automatic agitation control, AutoDilute stepwise or continuous dilution, in addition to the digital tank-level sensor for accurate readout and system control.

• Automatic filling — always the right amount and reduces leftover liquid after spraying
• Programmable tank volume
• Automatic filling stop at tank max volume prevents overflow accidents
• Reduce foaming, better emptying — agitation control automatic on/off, or based on tank level
• AutoDilute stepwise or continuous dilution — in-cab controlled dilution saves valuable time
• Audible warning — alerts the operator once tank level is reached or filling is stopped (optional)
• 2 x 280 L/min (2 x 74 gal./min) pump flow for faster filling, disconnected in spraying mode

Intelligence provides premium precision and boosts productivity in a smarter way. The John Deere M900i Trailed Sprayers can be configured with intelligent features and integrated solutions that make spraying operations faster, easier, and more accurate.

Intelligent solutions support accuracy

With intelligence using both flow and pressure sensors on board, the sprayer can automatically select the most accurate type of rate control for the job, or provide real-time information on the actual droplet size, even send a warning whenever accuracy tends to go out of range.

John Deere BoomGuard holds the boom gently but firmly during transport, minimizes boom movements in vertical or horizontal direction to prevent yaw when spraying.

M900i Trailed Sprayers have optional automatic filling and AutoDilute; additionally, the i-package is available with the M900i. All offer additional comfort and automation while saving time and valuable input costs.
