The 500R Self Propelled Sprayer is here — John Deere’s most advanced sprayer yet

Say hello to the future of self propelled spraying. The all new John Deere 500R sprayer is here to deliver unmatched spraying precision, operator comfort, and machine control. Designed in response to direct feedback from the field, the 500R blends cutting-edge technology with the rugged reliability you expect from John Deere.

 

Engineered around operator needs

Every inch of the 500R is built with the farmer in mind. With its front-mounted premium cab, you get an unobstructed view of the boom and your surroundings. An evenly balanced chassis means better traction, whether you’re in the field or cruising on the road. Plus, its slim width simplifies road transport without compromising capacity or platform space.

 

Step into the premium cab

The 500R’s fully pressurised cab with Cat. 4 filtration keeps operators safe and comfortable. Storage is plentiful and practical—armrest compartments, cup holders, and even behind-seat storage for larger items.

Infotainment? You bet. Enjoy Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a sound system with clarity you’ll love.

And the new G5Plus CommandCenter™ isn’t just larger (35% bigger), it’s also faster (75% faster) and shows your field view in stunning HD. With grouped controls, an ergonomic joystick, and a redesigned CommandArm, intuitive operation is standard.

 

Spray smarter with advanced precision tech

The trio of PowrSpray™, ExactApply™, and BoomTrac™ Pro 2 ensures up to 98% accuracy—every drop lands where it should. The boom’s intelligent sensors and IMU maintain ideal spray height even at speed or on uneven ground. ExactApply™ uses individual nozzle control and pulse width modulation for consistent droplet size, while auto turn compensation and multi-metering across the boom take precision to the next level.

Power + efficiency

Under the hood, the 500R Self Propelled Sprayer features a 285 hp PowerTech™ PSS engine and the smooth efficiency of the CommandDrive™ hydrostatic transmission. With independent motors at each wheel, traction and stability are maximized on any terrain. In auto mode, engine RPM can reduce down to 1350 RPM and increase automatically as load or demand increases.
