New for model year 2025 John Deere offers a complete redesign to the air car lineup to meet your needs. The C-Series Air Cart lineup offers an all new metering system with the AccuRate™ Meters that improve the accuracy and confidence while seeding. In addition to AccuRate™ Meters, the C-Series Air Cart consists of a frame up design replacing the 1910 Air Carts which brings tank scales and ActiveCal™ to the entire lineup.

• Seed accurately with the new AccuRate™ Meters
  • Minimize maintenance cost with stainless steel corrosion resistant meter bank
  • Individual electric controlled meters on each primary allows for more accurate metering
  • Enabling curve compensation, high fidelity prescriptions, and SectionCommand™ Pro
• Calibrate faster and easier than ever before with the EZCal™ System
  • 45% faster* calibration than leading competitors
    • *NOTE: Based off internal testing of a Bourgault air cart calibration taking 4 minutes compared to a new C-Series air cart taking 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
  • Eliminate potential user error with the push of a button through the automated scale
  • Easily transfer the updated Meter Displacement Value (MDV) from the G5e Cart Side Display to your Gen4 or G5 display
• Improve seeding confidence with tank scale available on all cart sizes
  • Calibrate from the cab with ActiveCal™
  • Know the exact amount of product in each tank at all time
  • View tank weights when filling product with the G5e Cart Side Display

With all the new features coming to the C-Series Air Cart lineup the model numbers were also updated. Now customers will be able to easily identify the cart size through the model number. Not only is the bushel size in the model number, we also included an “L” or “T” to identify if the cart is in the leading or trailing configuration of the seeding train. The C-Series Air Cart lineup is available in multiple cart sizes ranging from 350 bushel to 850 bushels. All carts are available in leading or trailing configuration except the C850T. You have choices for the right configuration for your farm’s needs.

By streamlining and automating calibration tasks, EZCal enables users to achieve precision at a remarkable 45% faster rate compared to leading competitors. This innovative system empowers farmers to optimize their operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and enhance overall productivity, setting a new standard for ease and speed in the calibration of agricultural equipment.

EZCal is like pressing the easy button on calibration. With EZCal, users can easily pour a bucket full of product into the hopper, select the roller color on the G5e cart side display, and initiate calibration. They can then proceed to tender the cart while the calibration process runs. Once completed, users can accept the MDV, seamlessly sending the data to the Gen 4 or G5 display, eliminating the need to remember numbers and reducing steps.

Please see the EZCal animation for more information.

BENEFITS

• Enhanced Speed: EZCal accelerates the calibration process, providing a remarkable 45% increase in calibration time compared to leading competitors, saving valuable time, and minimizing downtime.
• Maximize Productivity: Perform calibration with EZCal while tendering, enabling seamless multitasking and efficient utilization of operational resources.
• Improved Precision: By streamlining calibration tasks, EZCal ensures consistent and precise calibration, eliminating the need to manual weigh bags and input weights into the display.
• Simplified Process: EZCal simplifies the traditionally complex calibration process and automatically sends the MDV to the Gen4 or G5 display once accepted, making it more accessible and user-friendly for farmers, ultimately reducing the need for specialized expertise.
• Advanced Technology: EZCal represents a cutting-edge advancement in precision agriculture, setting a new standard for ease and speed in the calibration of agricultural equipment, and keeping farmers ahead in the evolving agricultural landscape.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

EZCal features an integrated load cell that automatically measures the initial and final weights of the hopper, enabling the calculation of the product distribution amount during calibration. Upon completion of the calibration, the measured weight is utilized to determine the meter displacement value (MDV), which is then seamlessly transmitted to the Gen 4 or G5 display in the cab, provided the farmer accepts the calibration.
