Increase operator efficiency with AutoLoad™
9R Scraper Tractor
Overview
AutoLoad is exclusive to John Deere and is a major innovation in the earthmoving industry. It increases operator efficiency by allowing novice and experienced operators to be more consistent and productive while operating John Deere tractors and scrapers. With the touch of a button, operators maximize productivity and efficiency even if they have never operated tractors and scrapers.
Benefits
- Reduced labor cost
- Reduced training time to bring operators up to full productivity
- More consistent yards per cycle, per hour, per day
- Ease of operation, reduced operator fatigue
- More consistent cut profiles for a new or inexperienced operator
- More consistent fill profiles utilizing AutoLoad set point features
- Reduced requirements for support equipment such as compactors, graders, dozers
- Consistent productivity, regardless of operator experience, for the entire work day, and the entire work week

More precise loads using Earthmoving Productivity System (EPS)
EPS in-cab display
Overview
The Earthmoving Productivity System can determine the amount of volume being loaded into a scraper in real time and transfer that critical data back to personnel. Operators have more precise volume loads and decrease counting errors. This allows them to finish jobs faster, saving time and money. It features proven components that are utilized by other John Deere equipment. A 3D stereo camera mounted on the existing laser rack captures images of material getting loaded into the scraper. These images are sent through an image processing module (IPM) that determines the volume inside the scraper.
Benefits
- Measure yardage in real time to ensure a full scraper after every cut
- Benchmark operators for best asset utilization
- Transfer data directly to jobsite supervision using JDLink™ system
- Visualize what is being loaded into the scraper
- Calculate cost per cubic yardage in real time per load for each scraper system
