Introducing the New John Deere HarvestLab™ 4000: Real-Time Insights. Better Decisions.

Making informed decisions in the field starts with having the right information at the right time. With the introduction of the new John Deere HarvestLab™ 4000, customers can benefit from the next generation of constituent sensing technology, bringing real-time insights and advanced data capabilities to their agricultural operations.

Designed to support a wide range of applications, HarvestLab™ 4000 uses Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) technology to measure moisture and constituent values in real time during harvesting and nutrient application. This information helps operators better understand changing material conditions, make informed decisions in the field and build a valuable picture of their operation.

One sensor. Four applications.

HarvestLab™ 4000 is designed to support customers across four key applications:

• Forage: Real-time measurement of moisture and constituents during harvesting.
• Grain: Insight into grain moisture and constituent values as harvesting takes place.
• Manure: Valuable information during nutrient application to support more informed management decisions.
• Stationary: Consistent constituent analysis for stationary applications.

By capturing data as operations happen, HarvestLab™ 4000 helps turn real-time measurements into practical information that can support documentation, agronomic analysis and longer-term farm management decisions.

What’s new with HarvestLab™ 4000?

Building on the proven capabilities of the HarvestLab™ 3000, the new generation introduces several improvements designed to make connectivity, servicing and day-to-day support even more convenient.

Ethernet connectivity

HarvestLab™ 4000 introduces an Ethernet connection alongside the existing CAN communication, providing additional connectivity options.

Over-the-air software updates

Supported software updates can now be delivered remotely, helping reduce the need for direct access to the sensor and making updates more convenient.

Improved remote serviceability

Remote diagnostics, status monitoring and log-file collection can help make troubleshooting and technical support more efficient, helping customers and dealers identify and address issues.

A more compact design

The new housing is more compact than the previous generation, bringing a refreshed design to the latest HarvestLab™ technology.

Proven performance, with more connected capabilities

While HarvestLab™ 4000 introduces important improvements, it retains the core sensing performance customers know from HarvestLab™ 3000.

All four applications – forage, grain, manure and stationary – remain supported, with the same core mounting hardware and stationary turntable as the previous generation.

Real-time measurements and documentation also remain central to the system. On supported equipment, data can be transferred via JDLink™ modems to John Deere Operations Center™, helping bring valuable operational information together in one place.

Application-specific permanent licensing is still required, with initial activation requiring direct access to the sensor.

Turning data into better decisions

HarvestLab™ 4000 is designed for customers looking to make greater use of technology and data across their farming operations. By combining real-time constituent measurements with improved connectivity and remote service capabilities, it provides valuable insights that can support decisions both in the field and beyond.

Whether you’re harvesting forage, monitoring grain quality, applying manure or carrying out stationary analysis, HarvestLab™ 4000 brings advanced sensing technology together with the information needed to make more informed management decisions.
