John Deere has announced major additions to its 2027 Precision Upgrade Kit (PUK) lineup, and in this episode of the Agriculture Technology Podcast, Tony Kramer sits down with John Deere’s Kyle Barry to break it all down. From upgraded harvest automation for combines to expanded autonomy compatibility, this conversation highlights how growers can bring the latest John Deere technology to equipment they already own — without trading up.

John Deere just introduced its model year 2027 planter updates — and these changes go beyond a typical equipment refresh. In this episode of the Agriculture Technology Podcast, Tony Kramer talks with John Deere’s Stephen Schwartz to break down new features like including factory-installed FurrowVision, downforce automation, dual product liquid systems (ExactRate + ExactShot) and ExactDepth in-cab control. Together, these updates are designed to give operators more visibility into the furrow, more control from the cab and more precision across every pass.

What if you could see inside the furrow while planting — without ever leaving the cab? In this episode of the Agriculture Technology Podcast, Tony Kramer sits down with John Deere experts Stephen Schwartz and Jeff Spencer to discuss FurrowVision, John Deere’s planter technology designed to give farmers real-time visibility into what’s happening below the soil surface.

Host Tony Kramer sits down with Michael Porter, Go-To-Market Manager of Large Tractors and Tillage at John Deere, to break down the brand-new John Deere 8R and John Deere 8RX tractors. The new 440, 490 and 540 models were redesigned from the ground up with a larger frame, JD14 engine, EVT transmission and the ability to electrically power planters directly from the tractor.
