John Deere 1910 Air Carts Can Now be Retrofitted With Section Control
November 13 2017 - 3:55PM
Intelligent Agricultural Solutions, LLC (Intelligent Ag), a leader
in electronics innovations for modern farming, announces the
release of Engage Zone Control, the industry’s first retrofit
section control available for John Deere air carts.

Custom designed and built for the popular John Deere 1910 model
air cart, it is easily installed underneath the meter housing.
Engage Zone Control integrates with the existing GPS mapping system
to identify areas of potential overlap, and uses electric motors to
actuate slide gates that shut off up to eight sections per tank (up
to three tanks per cart). The product release of Engage Zone
Control presents the first time that retrofit section control has
been available to older-model air carts. The benefit to farmers is
they now have an affordable way to add yield-boosting,
input-reducing precision seeding capabilities to existing John
Deere 1910 air carts.
While the air seeding industry started seeing section control
technology on new machines around 2014, the only way to obtain it
was by purchasing a new air cart. Intelligent Ag set out to develop
an affordable after-market solution for growers who wanted to get
more out of their existing air carts. “Engage Zone Control is
advancing engineering in crop production by providing an affordable
way for growers to utilize section control technology on their
older model air carts,” said Joe Heilman, General Manager at
Intelligent Ag. “This enables tens of thousands of growers to run a
more cost-efficient seeding operation, ultimately reducing their
input costs and improving their bottom line,” Heilman added.
Like all Intelligent Ag products, Engage Zone Control is easy to
install and built to last. For growers who want to get the most out
of their existing equipment, it’s a simple and economical solution.
Engage Zone Control will be available in 2018. Find a dealer at
