Available on new John Deere 400 and 600 Series Sprayers, See & Spray™ Select can help reduce herbicide use by an average of 77% while maintaining a similar hit rate to traditional broadcast spraying.1 Working in conjunction with the ExactApply™ system, See & Spray Select™ uses a combination of cameras and processors to detect weeds before activating only the nozzles necessary to apply a burst of herbicide to that specific weed.
New cab and visibility updates
The 400 and 600 Series sprayers come with a new, larger cab with increased visibility. New levels of Comfort and Convenience and Visibility packages are also now available, along with new features such as ActiveSeat™ II, foot pegs, increased seat rotation, more factory-installed cameras, and quality lighting options.

1Based on tank-level sensor values taken at a steady state on John Deere sprayers equipped with and without See & Spray™ Select, before and after covering 75,000 acres of fallow ground with a typical weed pressure of 3,000 weeds per acre,& using small and medium spray-length settings starting at 2.3 to 3.2 ft. (0.7 to 1 m), and average growing conditions (seasonal precipitation and temperature) across the U.S. and Canadian Plains and Australian farms. Spray-length settings varied based on ground speed, spray pressure, and boom height. Sprayers were equipped with current hardware and software at time of study. Individual results may vary based on field and growing conditions, weed pressure, spray-length settings, and software version.
