408R SPRAYER

When margins are tight and application windows are narrow, every dollar and every droplet need to work as hard as they can. John Deere’s See & Spray™ Gen 2 brings resource-saving precision to the field.

Fertilizers and crop protection products are too expensive to waste, and seed is too valuable to risk over- or under-treating. To help make sure your solution is getting to the crop at exactly the right rate and droplet size across a wider range of speeds, look to ExactApply nozzle control system.

 

The heart of the ExactApply system is a six-nozzle turret with multiple modes of operation to help maintain target rate and pressure. From the cab, operators can choose:

• 15-Hz pulse-width modulation (PWM) pulses one solenoid for more consistent pressure and droplet size over a wider range of ground speeds and application rates.
• 30-Hz PWM pulses both solenoids at 15 Hz for more thorough coverage during high-volume applications, like liquid fertilizer.
• AutoSelect A/B mode automatically switches between two nozzles to maintain a constant spray pressure while you’re spraying conventionally.
• Turn compensation mode decreases the spray rate on the inside of a turn while increasing the rate on the outside, ensuring consistent application across the entire width of the boom.
• Individual nozzle control minimizes overlap by controlling spray application at the individual nozzle level, not in 2.4- to 3.35-m (8- to 11-ft) section widths.

 

By maintaining a target rate and pressure over a wider range of speeds, ExactApply lets you cover up to 20 more acres per hour (based on a 3.2-km/h [2-mph] increase in operating speed) with more consistent spray deposition, saving you input costs and preserving more of your crop’s yield potential.

 

New for model year 2026, John Deere is introducing ExactApply Multi-Rate which enhances our ExactApply nozzle capabilities by enabling the delivery of multiple rates across the eleven sections of the boom in a single pass, regardless of the boom length. This innovation allows for improved rate resolution, particularly while utilizing application prescriptions. Now operators can target specific zones for optimized application, which will enhance crop consistency across varying field conditions. Critical uses include tailored fertilizer for small grains and corn, based on plant and soil conditions, such as top-dressing in wheat, as well as pre or post emerge nutrients for corn.

 

ExactApply Auto Select Pulsing with A+B Nozzle Switching, enables the Multi-Rate function, expanding performance and speed ranges while ensuring proper droplet size and placement. It also significantly increases the rate range during curve compensation, allowing versatile utilization across all three nozzle configurations within the eleven sections for optimal application.

 

ExactApply Multi-Rate is a software update included in order code 4985- John Deere ExactApply Nozzle Control and available on model year 2026 R4023, 408R, 410R, 612R, as well as the 616R sprayers. It is also compatible with model year 2022 and forward. A+B Switching and Pulsing compatible with all ExactApply configurations.

 

ExactApply is available as a factory-installed option, as well as through Aftermarket Attachments and Precision Upgrades.

 

ExactApply aftermarket attachment kits are available for 4 Series Sprayer models.

Precision Upgrades for ExactApply are available for 400, 600, and 4 Series Sprayer models.

Automatic Solution Control – Simple. Precise. Fully Electric.

With the introduction of the MY27 Sprayers, Automatic Solution Control is now in base on John Deere 400 and 600 Series Sprayers – eliminating manual solution control valves and moving fully to an electronic system.

 

This update replaces manual flow control valves with electronically actuated valves, delivering a major step forward in ease of use, precision, and operational efficiency. Operators can now control loading, rinsing, and the SprayStar™ Rate Control directly from the cab or the load station, reducing time, effort, and potential for error.

 

The updated system also features a simplified, standardized keypad and labeling shared across machine models – improving usability, streamlines software consistency, and training efficiency.

 

By removing the need for manual valve operation, Automatic Solution Control:

 

• Reduces operator errors during loading and cleanout
• Improves safety and chemical handling by minimizing manual interaction
• Increases accuracy and repeatability of solution control
• Improves overall productivity with faster, simpler operation

 

Unlike manual systems that require the operator to periodically step out of the machine and adjust valves one at a time – often leading to missed steps or incorrect valve positions – the automated solution control with electric low rate/high rate valve system delivers precise, reliable control each time, ensuring the correct rate range is set for the best performance, delivering the right rate in the right place.

Automatic Solution Control – Premium. Maximum Speed. Maximum Cleanliness.

Automatic Solution Control Premium builds on the standard system by adding a dedicated high-capacity fill pump, dramatically increasing loading speed and further improving cleanliness and chemical management.

 

Key advantages include:

 

• Significantly faster fill times, reduced from approximately 12–15 minutes down to 5–8 minutes
• Completely independent solution lines, reducing the risk of cross-contamination
• Fresh clean-water rinsing of the fill pump, solution pump, & eductor, improving cleanout effectiveness and chemical changeover confidence

 

By separating the fill system from the spray system and automating the rinse system functions, the Automatic Solution control Premium configuration not only accelerates pull-on-and-go efficiency, but also raises the bar for contamination control and system cleanliness – making it ideal for operators managing multiple products, chemistries, and application windows.

Quality of application is critical. Avoid settling in the plumbing by keeping solution in motion with pressure recirculation, coupled with product reclaim and boom air purge. These features save precious time, product, and expense when rinsing and priming the boom while switching solutions.

 

Cost savings

• Pressure recirculation primes the boom versus traditional boom prime where liquid tends to be sprayed out, saving 113.6 L (30 gal.) each time. If an operator does this process 10 times a day, coupled with approximately 85.2 L (22.5 gal.) of solution savings with product reclaim one to two times per day, these two features together could save up to $600* a day.
  
  • *NOTE: Assumes 113.6 L (30 gal.) of residual product in the system at 93.5 L/ha (10 gpa) and $20 per acre 10 times per day. Adjust the calculation to suite your operation.
• Reclaim expensive crop protection solutions between applications or required service in the field with product reclaim.
• Potentially reduce crop damage from residual chemical buildup.

 

Performance:

• Experience uniform distribution of product across the boom.
• Reduce nozzle clogging with increased agitation of product in the solution system.

Keep solution in suspension in the boom and system while the machine is on and not spraying with pressure recirculation. Recirculation during rinsing removes any chemical that settled out of the suspension while spraying, resulting in higher rinse water velocity in the spray pipe. Rinse water can be recirculated multiple times to further clean spray pipes and reduce cleanout times. Boom pressure recirculation mixes the solution and primes the boom before spraying to obtain a homogenous chemical mixture throughout the solution system and up to the nozzle tip. This recirculation improves spray quality and reduces time at the start of spraying.

 

Product reclaim transfers chemical out of the boom plumbing into solution tanks to improve boom rinse functions, also reducing exposure when servicing nozzle bodies. Additionally, save on chemical cost and enable easier rinse water collection between rinses when operators are not spraying out of the boom in the field.

 

NOTE: Pressure recirculation and product reclaim kits are available to order as aftermarket upgrade kits through Parts and as Complete Goods through precision upgrade. Precision upgrades offers kits for 400, 600, and most R4 Series Sprayers while Parts offers kits for R4030-R4060 Sprayers.

With the CommandDrive powertrain, save fuel, reduce cab noise, get improved traction in challenging conditions, and cover more acres per day. CommandDrive offers the operator an Auto Mode that automatically directs the engine to run at the lowest rpm necessary to maintain ground speed and hydraulic functions and to meet the demands of the solution system.

 

CommandDrive also allows operators to adjust the aggressiveness of acceleration and deceleration and features an Auto Idle system that reduces engine speed to 900 rpm when the machine is in park. It all adds up to:

• 20 percent or greater fuel savings
• More acres sprayed per day, thanks to fewer fuel stops and improved traction in rough conditions
• Reduced in-cab noise levels by 3to 5 decibels
• Fewer demands on the operator

 

CommandDrive is base equipment on all 408R, 410R, 412R, 612R, and 616R Sprayers, as well as 400R and 600R Dry Spinner Spreaders.

For the highest level of spray accuracy with less drift and reduced risk of boom damage, look to the BoomTrac™ Pro 2 automatic boom-height control system.

 

Thanks to the addition of an inertia-monitoring sensor that helps correct for chassis roll, BoomTrac Pro 2 offers up to 22 percent greater spray accuracy (composite score over a variety of terrains) compared to the previous BoomTrac Pro system, and a five time increase in the amount of time the boom maintains its target height, which is a real plus in rough or hilly conditions. Along with the improved accuracy and reduced drift, operators will appreciate having one less function to perform and one less thing to worry about.

The StarFire 7500 Receiver is the latest addition to the suite of Precision Ag Technology from John Deere. The StarFire 7500 Receiver offers greater accuracy, faster pull-in times, and season-to-season repeatability. This means less hardware, faster times recovering from a shading event, and the confidence that your guidance lines and boundaries do not shift from year to year. The integrated design further enhances the value that you have come to expect from StarFire products.

Precision, Flexibility, and Efficiency – Designed the John Deere Way

ExactInject™ is John Deere’s all-new, fully integrated Direct Injection system engineered to bring a new level of precision, efficiency, and operational flexibility to crop protection applications. Designed from the ground up by John Deere, ExactInject enables on-demand chemical mixing and delivery across up to five product tanks and three pump configurations, helping operators reduce waste, minimize cleanout and changeover time, and significantly increase productivity by cutting time spent filling and mixing.

 

In today’s operating environment – defined by rising input costs, tighter margins, and increasing regulatory pressure – operators need smarter, more efficient ways to manage complex crop protection programs. ExactInject was built specifically to meet that challenge.

Purpose-Built for Modern Crop Protection Programs

At the core of ExactInject is a proven electronic metering technology derived from John Deere planter row units, delivering exceptional accuracy and control across an industry-leading flow-rate range of 0.5 to 220 oz/min (15-6505 ml/min). This wide operating range allows ExactInject to precisely meter and apply a broad spectrum of crop chemistries – from low-rate products to high-volume applications – without compromising accuracy or performance.

 

By injecting products directly into the solution stream on demand, ExactInject eliminates the need to pre-mix the entire tank. This means:

 

• Operators can run multiple products and multiple modes of action in a single day with far less downtime
• Incompatible chemistries can be managed more efficiently
• The sprayer only mixes what is needed, when it’s needed – reducing leftover product and chemical waste

Productivity That Pays

ExactInject is designed to keep machines spraying and operators productive:

 

• Less filling and mixing time means more acres covered per day
• Automated valve control with fresh water rinsing, dramatically reduces cleanout and changeover time between products
• Fewer tank rinses and quicker transitions between jobs help maximize in-field efficiency during tight spray windows

 

By reducing non-productive time and simplifying chemical changeovers, ExactInject helps operators do more with the same machine in the same day – a critical advantage during peak application seasons.

Designed for Efficiency, Built for the Bottom Line

Direct Injection with ExactInject doesn’t just improve convenience – it delivers measurable business benefits:

 

• Reduces input costs by minimizing waste and leftover mixed product
• Improves sustainability through more precise application and reduced chemical disposal
• Protects the bottom line by increasing machine utilization and lowering operational inefficiencies

 

In an era of low commodity prices, high input costs, and increasing regulatory scrutiny, ExactInject gives operators a powerful tool to run a leaner, smarter, and more adaptable spraying operation.

Why a Deere-Designed Direct Injection System Matters

Earlier direct injection systems provided operators with valuable functionality, but real‑world use highlighted opportunities for improvement in consistency, system coordination, and operator confidence. Variability in performance and system complexity made it challenging for some operators to always feel fully assured during application, especially in demanding conditions.

 

ExactInject was developed with those insights in mind, focusing on simplicity, reliability, and confidence in the field. Instead of using separate controllers for each pump, ExactInject employs a single, integrated controller across all configurations. This unified architecture improves system coordination, enhances communication between components, and delivers a more stable and dependable application experience.

 

The operator experience was also a key area of emphasis. While traditional ISO-based interfaces required navigating between multiple pump screens, ExactInject—powered by the Hybrid QT interface—consolidates all pump information into one intuitive view. Operators can monitor and manage all pumps simultaneously, make quick adjustments, and maintain control without added complexity.

 

The Hybrid QT interface further enhances precision and visibility with high‑definition graphics that clearly display key application data such as rate, flow, and pressure. With improved system integration, VT+ compatibility, and a streamlined layout, ExactInject helps operators apply with confidence and consistency—pass after pass.

As solution tank mixes become more complex, operators need a better way to manage the products they are mixing in helping to reduce the risk of chemical residue. The integrated direct-injection system provides an additional carrying capacity for raw chemicals and allows injection of single, dual, or triple products directly into the boom depending on installed configuration.

 

Machine	Direct injection carrying capacity	Injection capability
R4030/R4038 model year 2015 and older (serial number 10,999 and lower)	511 L (135 gal.)	Inject up to two chemicals (one high volume, one low volume)
R4030/R4038 model year 2016-2021 (serial number 11,000 and higher)	889 L (235 gal.)	Inject up to three chemicals (two high volume, one low volume)
408R/410R 612R R4045 4940 all model years	889 L (235 gal.)	Inject up to three chemicals (two high volume, one low volume)

NOTE: Low-volume tanks and pumps must be configured with at least one high-volume tank and pump. High-volume tank and pump can be configured by itself.

 

Direct injection helps provide quicker changeovers and faster cleanouts while also helping to minimize the risk of using multiple chemicals. This is accomplished by allowing operators the ability to isolate higher-residual-risk chemicals in the injection system while mixing lower-risk chemicals in the solution tank.

The minimum and maximum application rates for each pump are as follows:

 

Direct injection pump system	High-rate pump	Low-rate pump
Application rate range (minimum to maximum)	148-5900 mL/min (5-200 oz/min)	29.6-1183 mL/min (1-40 oz/min)
Agitation capability	Not available – suspension products not recommended	Not available – suspension products not recommended

Connect Mobile overview

John Deere Connect Mobile is a solution that utilizes an Apple® iPad® tablet in the cab that provides the operator a better understanding of the sprayer’s performance. Connect Mobile documents and displays several sprayer performance attributes, helping the operator monitor and more easily detect problems that can occur while spraying. Connect Mobile also has a common user interface that makes it easy to use between different pieces of John Deere equipment. Once the job is done, the iPad with the spraying data can be utilized to perform basic crop scouting activities in the field.

When you buy John Deere equipment, you expect reliability. You also know that problems can happen, and a product is only as good as the support behind it. That’s why John Deere equipment is prepared with technology that senses potential issues and can alert you and your dealer promptly—in the cab or anywhere you are.

• Keeps you running by monitoring machine health and promptly alerting you and your dealer of issues
• Saves time by remotely viewing in-cab displays, reducing trips to the machine

With more than a decade of experience leveraging connectivity to solve problems, no one else has the experience, tools, and knowledge to keep you running as John Deere and your John Deere dealer can. Connected Support is an in-base feature on all John Deere products with factory- or field-installed JDLink.
