R4045

Features

36-m (120-ft) boom with swing-link suspension eliminates additional passes through the field

Make fewer passes through the field and reduce compaction, as well as time spent spraying, with the optional 36 m (120 ft) boom.

All 27-m (90-ft), 30-m (100-ft), and 36-m (120-ft) booms are more stable thanks to the swing link suspension, which helps translate rough areas in the field into horizontal (side-to-side) movement of the boom rather than lateral (up and down) movement. This additional stability means increased productivity as the boom now has the ability to more accurately maintain spray height above the crop, delivering a precise spray pattern. The swing link suspension also translates into uptime as the additional stability means less crop damage, resulting in less mechanical boom damage.

Finally, the enhanced design allows the boom to unfold and fold faster, getting the operators into the field more quickly, and the flat fold design delivers superior transport visibility.

Solution Command System (SCS) allows for automation at the fill station

Solution Command offer push button loading

12-button keypad and micro-display

The 4 Series Sprayers are available with the SCS and have been completely redesigned to allow for quick and easy operation at the load station for operators of all skill levels. This optional system allows for complete automation at the load station with a 12-button keypad. The features include the following:

Fill station light on/off
Pump on/off
Agitation
Pump speed increase
Pump speed decrease
Eductor on/off
Master on/off
Automated rinse cycle
Visual nozzle check
Pull-on fill
Push-on fill
Target fill

The system also features a micro-display, which provides real-time feedback on the system operations, as well as the ability to select a rinse method and the ability to monitor progress during the automated rinse function. Overall, the enhanced Solution Command System increases operational performance by increasing ease of use through automation at the load station.

Smooth, stable ride enables operator comfort and better maneuverability

Dual strut suspension

Smoother ride in field

Machine performance and operator comfort are requirements during long days of operation. The field-proven dual strut independent wheel air-ride suspension reduces overall machine maintenance. This suspension also provides a best-in-class ride, which is expected from John Deere Sprayers, even in the roughest fields.

Faster spray and transport speed allow operators to get to the field sooner

Field speeds increased to 40 kph (25 mph)

Road speeds increased to 56 kph (35 mph)

Efficiency and productivity are key drivers to any successful application operation. To meet this need, the R4038 and R4045 have increased spray and transport speeds allowing operators to get jobs done faster and move onto the next field sooner. Operators can now travel 25 percent faster across the field, allowing them to spray more acres per day. Transport speed has also been increased by 16.5 percent, which gets operators to the next field quicker. This translates into a 40 km/h (25 mph) spray speed and 56 km/h (35 mph) road transport speed, boosting overall productivity throughout the day.

Dry spinner spreader compatibility increases versatility by allowing the conversion of a machine with a wet solution system into a dry nutrient applicator with a 5.6- m³ (200-cu ft) or 8.5-m³ (300-cu ft) carrying capacity

At the end of the spraying season operators can keep their sprayers working for them by converting them to dry nutrient applicators with the addition of the New Leader® DN456 or DN485 Dry Spinner Spreader dependent upon the dry product they wish to apply. This conversion can be completed in as little as four hours and involves the removal of the wet solution skid and the installation of the dry spinner spreader.

The DN456 features a carrying capacity of up 5.6 m³ (200 cu ft) of dry fertilizer or Ag lime while the larger DN485 features a carrying capacity of up to 8.5 m³ (300 cu ft) of dry fertilizer only. The DN456 is capable of holding 6.6 tons of fertilizer or 10 tons of ag lime and the DN485 is capable of holding 10 tons of fertilizer with variable rate applications from 34 kg/ha (75 lb/acre u)p to 3 ton/ha (acre). The 1.83-m (72-in.) spinner heights allow spread width up to 32 m (105 ft) as it propels material across the pass. This equates to a consistent spread pattern across the field and decreased cost of operation for the 4 Series Sprayers.

The DN456 and DN485 can be ordered with either 304 stainless-steel or 409 painted spreader material, single or dual product bin configuration, with either #4 belt over chain or #5 straight belt conveyor configurations.

Load Command™ system offers unmatched loading performance

Custom applicators are consistently looking for ways to achieve more acres per day. For this, John Deere offers the Load Command system, a fully-integrated solution designed specifically for the R4045 Self-Propelled Sprayer.

With this solution, load applicators are able to load 4542 L (1200 gal.) of liquid in as fast as 3 minutes. This increased loading time allows for more spraying time or more acres per day.

The Load Command system is a revolutionary product that further complements the three-season asset-utilization value offered by John Deere’s largest sprayer.

How it works

The Load Command system allows the operator to pull the sprayer up to the tender unit, couple the Load Command tender arm to the Load Command coupler on the sprayer, and receive a full 4542-L (1200-gal.) load in as fast as 3 minutes.

Load Command dramatically reduces the fill time and the amount of operator interface time. When the system completes loading, the couplers automatically disengage from each other. This allows the operator to remain in the cab with the ability to quickly return to spraying.

By providing improved loading times, the John Deere R4045 Sprayer with Load Command is more versatile, more productive, and will provide a better overall return on investment.

With the ability to create more spraying time, the Load Command system enables a custom applicator to achieve more value by applying products more efficiently and, in turn, generating more revenue per season.

NOTE: Load Command and Front Fill are not compatible to be installed on the machine at the same time. Additionally, load Command is compatible as a field-installed bundle for the 4542-L (1200-gal.) 4940 machine as well.

Direct injection allows operators to manage their chemical risks

Field-installed 511-L (135-gal.) direct-injection system

Field-installed 889-L (235-gal.) direct-injection system

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 of up to 511 L (135 gal.) on model year 2015 and older R4030/R4038 (serial number 10,999 and lower) machines and up to 889 L (235 gal.) on the model year 2016 and newer R4030/R4038 (serial number 11,001 and higher) and all model year R4045 machines for raw chemicals and allows injection of single, dual, or triple products directly into the boom depending on installed configuration.

Machine	Carrying capacity	Maximum number of chemicals injected
R4030/R4038 model year 2015 and older (SN 10,999 and lower)	511 L (135 gal.)	Two -one high volume, one low volume
R4030/R4038 model year 2016 and newer (SN 11,000 and higher)	889 L (235 gal.)	Three-two high volume, one low volume
R4045	889 L (235 gal.)	Three-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.

Not only can this help provide quicker changeovers and faster cleanouts, it also helps lower 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.

Direct injection can help expand the versatility that an operator has throughout the day while adding additional performance and uptime as they manage the product that they are applying.

Model year 2017 direct-injection systems (attachments BKK10302, BKK10303, BKK10304, BKK10305) will have pump rinse functionality added. Pump rinse functionality can also be added to a current direct-injection system by adding a three-way inlet valve to each DI pump. The three-way valve connects on one port to the chemical tank for normal operation (injection) and to the clean water rinse tank on the other port (for daily pump rinse).

This feature allows for rinse water to be pulled from rinse tank, through the pump head, and out of the boom mixing chamber. This yields the following benefits:

Automatic rinse system, integrated with pump operating modes, cleans chemical out of pump
Reduce chemical residual buildup in pump
Improved maintenance process, while enabling product to be stored in direct-injection tanks between operation
