How John Deere’s Latest Combine Technology Is Elevating Soybean Harvests in Wisconsin

This fall, our team at Riesterer & Schnell took to a Wisconsin soybean field to put the new John Deere S7 800 combine through its paces. The result? A firsthand look at how advanced automation and precision ag features are transforming harvest operations for growers across the region.

Field-Tested Innovation

As the S7 800 combine rolled into the field, it was clear that John Deere’s newest technology is designed to make harvesting easier, more efficient, and less stressful for operators of all experience levels. Here’s what stood out:

• Predictive Ground Speed Automation: Uses forward-facing cameras and satellite imagery to automatically adjust speed based on crop density, reducing grain loss and improving consistency.
• Harvest Settings Automation: Allows operators to calibrate grain loss and other settings with a few taps, enabling real-time adjustments without repeated stops.
• Turn Automation: Enables the combine to turn itself at the end of each row, reducing operator fatigue and streamlining field operations.

Featured Equipment: Built for Wisconsin Fields

• ‍G5 Plus Display: High-speed, crystal-clear touchscreen that puts precision ag features at your fingertips.

Smart Farming in Action

Throughout the day, our team saw how these technologies benefit both experienced operators and those new to harvesting. Automation helps reduce fatigue, improve accuracy, and ensure every acre is harvested to its full potential.
