The 4240 Universal Display ships from the factory with these three features included in the display purchase so that you can easily take the first steps on your precision ag journey:

• AutoTrac™ guidance
• Documentation
• Data Sync

Combine the display with a StarFire™ Receiver, and you are ready to get started with automated guidance by creating maps showing work completed and, if you have JDLink™, wirelessly sending your data to the John Deere Operations Center. If you don’t need automated steering, you can deduct AutoTrac when ordering your display. If you want to do even more, you can add a 4240 Section Control Subscription for precision control of crop inputs.

NOTE: You do not need AutoTrac to use the Section Control functionality with a 4240 Universal Display.  

The 4240 Universal Display allows you to bring your operation on the next level of efficiency through the following features:

• Enhanced data merging functionalities to increase on-board/off-board flexibility
• Data capturing capabilities that precisely map and operate Section Control
• Precise application of multiple products simultaneously with individual coverage maps and application points
• Setup and startup operations easily with improved display navigation
• Eirelessly deliver display subscriptions and software updates with the wireless USB adapter
• Improved Gen 4 applications such as AutoTrac™ assisted steering system, Section Control, and Documentation that increase producer profitability all with a moveable display experience

The user is shown averages, totals, and productivity of the machine, such as area worked, average working speed, and fuel usage. The values of the Work Monitor can be reset by the user at any time. Specific values of the Work Monitor can be configured by the user to be shown on a run page.

Producers purchasing a 4240 Universal Display have an abundance of choices when deciding which Precision Ag applications to use on their display. The 4240 Universal Display includes basic documentation with the display purchase and is priced with a permanent, non-transferable AutoTrac™ activation.

• Some producers may want an implement-only display. They can purchase the display less AutoTrac activation.
• Some producers may want to use the display as an automated guidance-only display. They can purchase the display with the default permanent, non-transferable AutoTrac activation.
• Some producers may want to use the display for more advanced Precision Ag applications such a pulling a tow-behind sprayer. They should consider the 4240 Universal Display with the default permanent, non-transferable AutoTrac activation and add a 1-year 4240 Section Control subscription.
• Other producers may want the functionality provided with Section Control but not need AutoTrac. They should consider the 4240 Universal Display less AutoTrac activation and add a 1-year 4240 Section Control subscription.

Regardless of the choice a producer makes during the initial purchase, a permanent, non-transferrable 4240 AutoTrac activation or a 4240 Section Control subscription can be added as a field-installed option. This approach allows producers to start their Precision Ag journey with a Gen 4 display and add the applications they want and need as they become more comfortable with John Deere Precision Ag Technology over time
