John Deere are proud to introduce the Starfire 3000 Receiver which is leading the way with better accuracy and greater efficiency.
The
StarFire™ 3000 receiver key features include:
- 66-channels
- Access to multi-frequency differential Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) plus access to additional satellite signals,
- True 3D integrated terrain compensation, it responds faster and more accurately to changes in terrain.
- More reliable positioning in areas with intermittent satellite availability or in other uncontrollable satellite environments = Less Downtime!
- Upgradeable accuracy, with the Starfire 3000 you have the ability to increase the level of accuracy without having to purchase a new receiver.
Accuracy levels
With this receiver you can get started into precision guidance at the accuracy level you need at the time. From Parallel Tracking™ to precision-guidance AutoTrac™ assisted steering, to the 2.5 cm, repeatable accuracy of StarFire™ RTK, the StarFire™ 3000 Receiver grows with you.
- SF1: +/- 23 cm
- SF2: +/- 5 cm
- RTK: +/- 2.5 cm
Scalable accuracy
To
accommodate a wide range of accuracy needs and to offer unmatched
upgradeability, StarFire™ 3000 is available in different configurations: SF1
world solution, SF2 ready, and RTK.
SF1 world solution
The base-level StarFire 3000 ships with the capability of using the John
Deere-exclusive, free-to-air SF1 differential correction signal. SF1 delivers
+/- 10-in. pass-to-pass accuracy†, adequate for non-row-crop guidance
applications including tillage, mowing, broad-acre spraying, and fertiliser
spreading.
SF2 ready
For those who need higher accuracy, StarFire 3000 can be upgraded to SF2 ready.
SF2 delivers accuracy of +/- 4 in.†, which is ideal for row-crop planting. SF2
is ideal for windrowing, seeding, and higher accuracy tillage. SF2 allows
customers to operate in lands, skipping rows and always ending with a perfect
pass. This allows the operator to turn easily at the headland, reducing wear on
equipment and also reducing the number of headland rounds required. An SF2
subscription is also required.
StarFire RTK
For users who require additional accuracy, a SF2-ready StarFire 3000 can be upgraded to RTK by adding the RTK radio and RTK activation. RTK delivers 1-in. repeatable accuracy*, and is available via our Dealership Network of RTK Base Stations. RTK Subscription is also required.
