John Deere 6930

[farmerofthenorth]

Hi guys and gals we have a John Deere 6930 and we have a 3 horsh joker and we are getting a seed box added to it, We will be using it to sow our stubble turnips and cover crops it will be run off isobus we have GPS on the tractor and I have asked out agriculture engineers (a father and son self run business) if they knew what screen it would show up on and they both don't know so my next port of call is here I'm sure someone will have seen or used the isobus on a 6930 before

The 6930 doesn’t have an isobus screen as standard. The command centre cannot show the seeder.

What screen are you using to make the tractor steer?

The GPS it's the basic package I can take a picture on Monday as I'm off for the weekend

This is the screen we run the GPS and auto steer from

You will have to get a control box for the seed box.

Why ? That's an isobus screen is it not ? I've seen machines running through them before

Nice spray can holder ?

What's the round thing on it for?

(Apologies, no idea about ISO screen)

round thing looks like a ram spacer to me could be wrong tho.

If the tractor has a Isobus socket then plug your implements in and you should see the screens for controlling the implement on your in cab screen. U normally have to acknowledge that an isobus implement is plugged in and that’s it. That’s how it works on my JD’s albeit mine are newer.

The jd 1800 screen is isobus compatible, I’m guessing you haven’t got an Implement Bus Breakaway Connector (IBBC) on the rear of the tractor?
If it’s an autotrac ready tractor it will just be a case of fitting an isobus power harness from the battery to the rear of the tractor. The harness then connects into the tractor canbus and your1800 screen should then detect any connected implements.

One of these should be at the rear of the tractor

The fact that terminal is plugged into the corner post means that I would suspect the tractor is iso. It’s not an aftermarket kit.
Yes the seeder should load and work through the screen however it can be a bit clunky through navigation of the screens. But it works.

The thing on the can holder your right it's for the big topper we have it's a bat wing we only use that spacer when we do the first time around the headland just not got around to putting it back on the topper

Saw the outfit sitting in their yard on Friday when I was in, if it’s iso ready it should come up on screen or at least give an opinion to search for implement, just watch they don’t try n sell you a baler aswell as they seem to have plenty in stock ?
