R962i

Low Centre of Gravity
The R962i Sprayer has an exceptionally low centre of gravity for optimum stability – because the frame cradles the tank perfectly, even on slopes! The level weight distribution also helps to keep your machine steady while you work, regardless of the boom position. That means better manoeuvrability, smoother transport, and faster, more accurate spraying.

Multi-Mode Wheel Steering
Wheel steering can be controlled either manually or automatically – or even via GPS in combination with SprayerPro. Choose “manual” when entering fields or reversing into corners, or “auto” for consistent track following. “Crab” offers hillside adjustment while “HMS” activates the steering when you’re not spraying at the headland. For smooth steering, proportional hydraulic control is fitted as standard.

Power - Fill Chemical Inductor
This specially designed chemical inductor fills large volumes quickly, accurately and safely. A powerful injector draws in crop protection chemicals fast, limiting the risk of foaming.

Self-Priming Piston Diaphragm Pump
The R962i has twin, self-priming piston diaphragm pumps designed especially for the job. It uses two durable 6-cylinder sprayer pumps. The optional integrated centrifugal filling pump provides even more filling capacity on all models.

• Optional High Flow spray performance
• Automated agitation performance control
• Optional centrifugal pump boosts filling capacity up to 700 l/min.

ProRoad Axle Suspension
Jolts and vibration don’t just stress drivers, they stress the whole machine, too. That’s why the R962i comes with ProRoad Axle Suspension as standard. This double-link axle suspension features tough, maintenance-free polyurethane dampers to absorb shocks on the road and in the field. For more comfort, a smoother ride, greater spray accuracy, and a longer sprayer life.

Strong Chassis
The entire chassis of the R962i is specially designed for the job. The heart of the main frame is the cross structure in the centre section. This allows the chassis to absorb torque and movement better, reducing the risk of material fatigue and stress.

BoomGuard Suspension System
No vibrations are good vibrations. Spray booms are particularly vulnerable to stress and wear during fast on-road transport. The BoomGuard suspension system keeps vibration to a minimum, regardless of how rough the going gets.
Pressurised accumulators in the boom lift provide extra support, while special transport rolls cradle the boom both gently and firmly – for longer boom life and less risk of damage.

Accuracy Starts with Boom Stability
stability is the key to accurate, profitable spraying. If your boom wobbles or swings, you’re wasting chemicals and losing out on yields. Our wide range of double and triple-folding steel booms have the stability and features you need for reliable, high-precision performance – year after year.

John Deere delivers better boom stability, durability and performance thanks to:

• Central pendulum for boom levelling
• BoomGuard suspension system for less wear-and-tear
• Sturdy ball-and-socket hinges with grease points for extended boom life
• Reliable pressure circulation system for instant chemical when starting spraying
• Vertical and horizontal boom breakaway
• Stainless steel spray lines with quick connectors

Boom Control & Folding
Critical functions like master on/off, boom tilt, height or section control are operated with the standard multi-functional lever control in the cab. Boom folding is typically smooth, thanks to the electric hydraulic control and the end-stroke dampening in the folding cylinders between the boom segments.

Twin Diaphragm Pumps
The self-priming diaphragm pumps keep output constant, even when pressure increases. That means more consistency, higher pressure and capacity – with less wear and maintenance.
Total capacity: 560L

Pressure Circulation
Pressure Circulation is a simple, rugged system featuring air section valves that lets you charge the spraying circuit with chemical right through the sprayboom - before you start to spray. That means you can start quickly with a full concentration, and also makes for easier rinsing later on.

SprayerPro – Automatic Section Control
GreenStar SprayerPro takes full control of the boom sections, automatically switching them on and off when you leave or enter predefined areas (and also the headland with the GreenStar 2630 display). Even with less experienced operators and in wedge-shaped fields SprayerPro reduces skips and overlaps, helping keep your chemical costs down.

BoomTrac
BoomTrac improves spray accuracy and distribution – and reduces drift – by automatically controlling boom tilt and height as you work. It’s particularly useful on slopes and uneven fields, as well as during headland turns.

Map Based Variable Rate Application
Different areas need different amounts of chemical. That’s why you need individualised crop care. Map-based Variable Rate Application technology lets you set your application rates in advance, using prescription maps you prepare on your office PC. In the field, your sprayer makes real-time adjustments, leaving you free to focus on quality and productivity. The software comes preloaded on your GreenStar 2630 display.

Tank Design
Everything about the R962i Sprayer is designed to streamline your rinsing and dilution procedures. The rounded tank eliminates flow-disruptive corners and baffles. The separate high-pressure AutoDilute pump supplies the rinsing nozzles directly with water from the rinse water tank. And thanks to the pressure circulation system, you can spray lines without losing a drop from the nozzles.

Auto Dilute
AutoDilute calculates how much clean water and how many cycles you need to achieve a given dilution factor. AutoDilute takes all dead volume and remaining contents into account, and complies with current legal and environmental regulations in Europe.

• Comfortable, in-cab control over the entire dilution process
• 4 modes: AutoDilute, ContinuousDilute, System Rinse or Boom Rinse
• Faster rinsing for higher productivity
• Fewer operator errors
• Less crop damage and environmental pollution

The New StarFire 3000 Receiver
The intelligent new StarFire 3000 receiver works seamlessly with all accuracy levels (EGNOS, SF1, SF2 and RTK) as well as GPS and GLONASS satellite signals. Even in shaded conditions, the StarFire 3000 keeps you right on track, even picking up satellites that are just 5 degrees above the horizon. It also includes rapid signal acquisition, an improved Terrain Compensation module and over-the-air signal activation for instant productivity.
