Controls & Controllers

John Deere controls and controllers provide the operator with intuitive and precise management over various machine functions. Streamline tasks such as transmission shifting, hydraulic control, and implement operation to maximize efficiency and comfort in the cab.


Seamless Integration with Electronic Systems

Modern John Deere equipment from Koenig Equipment uses sophisticated electronic controls and controllers that manage inputs and outputs across the machine. Combined with versatile user interfaces like touchscreens and joystick control, these systems help make complex farming operations simpler, safer, and more precise.

Replacing a Control or Controller

Controls include the switches, levers and joysticks you use in the cab. Controllers are the electronic units that read those inputs and run the machine. A problem with either can look like a failed hydraulic or transmission part.

Before you replace a controller, check fuses, connectors and wiring, and note any codes on the display. Many problems turn out to be a loose connection or damaged wire.

Many electronic controllers must be programmed for your machine after they are installed. Plan on our service department for that step.

Order online through John Deere's parts store with Koenig as your dealer, then pick it up at your Koenig store or have it shipped. If you are not sure you have the right part, call or stop by our parts counter with your model and serial number and we will look it up for you.

Controls and Controllers FAQ

Do I need to program a new controller?

Many John Deere controllers need software loaded for your machine after they are installed. Our service department can do the programming.

My joystick or switch only works some of the time. What should I check?

Check the connector for corrosion or bent pins and look for chafed wiring where it moves. Intermittent problems are often in the wiring, not the control.

How do I find the right part number?

Look up your machine by model and serial number in the John Deere Parts Catalog, or give our parts counter your serial number and we will find it for you.
