JDLink Telematics Introduction
JDLink: the telematics solution
for profitable fleet management.
Farming is changing. Equipment fleets are expanding. Costs are rising. It is essential, therefore, to keep equipment constantly
up and running. To cope with these factors fleet managers, like yourself, are turning to the logistical advantages only telematics
can provide. The goal is to acquire real time information that will answer questions such as:
• Where and in which fields are my machines located?
• When is the next maintenance due?
• How can I protect my machine against possible theft and abuse?
• How many hours did the machine run while working for customer A?
• How can I monitor fuel consumption?
• How can dealers provide me with high quality service at low cost?
• Why do two identical machines use different amounts of fuel and require different repairs?
JDLink Telematics JDLink has the answers.
The JDLink telematics machine monitoring system gives you the information you need to work
more efficiently and profitably.
Now you know!
JDLink improves fleet management and online monitoring to help you reduce costs and improve
fleet efficiency – all at the touch of a few keys.

JDLink Telematics Features and Benefits
Better by design.
JDLink is comprised of a communication controller, a wiring harness and an antenna with
both cellular and GPS capabilities. You can add a data logging device to retrieve even more
information from John Deere equipment. Working together, these components provide
machine location, utilisation, time, performance and maintenance information to a
John Deere database that you can easily access from your PC.
A window of opportunity for fleet managers.
With JDLink you always know where your equipment is and how it’s being used.
But, that’s just the beginning. Depending on the version you choose, the system will:
• Enhance performance. By keeping tabs on the time your machines spend idling, working
and moving from one field or job to the next, JDLink helps you to improve operations.
• Minimise costs. By providing fuel consumption analysis (e.g. fuel levels, usage per hour
etc.) JDLink helps to lower your energy bill.
• Maximise productivity. JDLink’s CAN Bus technology allows remote access to engine
service codes (temperature, rpms etc.) from your office. As a result, you can instruct
operators to perform adjustments and make changes that may be required to improve
efficiency.
• Protect assets. By setting physical limits (e.g. pre-defined working areas and hours) and
posting maintenance and other alerts, JDLink eliminates problems before they can occur.
JDLink Telematics Your partner

JDLink Telematics Features and Benefits
JDLink Select:
The perfect entry-level telematics solution for all makes and
models.
JDLink Select is a flexible tool for managing and maintaining a
mixed fleet of farm equipment. It uses satellite-based mapping
to provide accurate equipment positioning and it monitors
machine run times while providing maintenance notifications
and summary reports.
You’re in control.
JDLink Select is a “colour-blind” solution for every brand and
type of equipment with a 12 or 24 volt charging system.
It helps you keep an eye on your operations at virtually any
time – without disturbing your operators.
Location, location, location.
Running multiple machines in different locations? No problem
with JDLink Select. But what if machines leave predefined
areas? What if machine working hours exceed time limits?
That’s no problem either. JDLink Select enables you to respond
quickly to resolve these issues. How? It notifies you of the
situation via email.
JDLink Telematics You’ll see the results.
JDLink makes doing a lot more a lot more easy. Why? Now you
can base decisions on meaningful, easy to understand data,
graphics and status reports.

overdue maintenance, it can ensure that all of your equipment
is being properly cared for. Performance and uptime are
maximised. Costs and headaches are minimised.

mind and helps increase your return on
investment.

JDLink Telematics Features and Benefits
JDLink Ultimate:
Advanced telematics for John Deere tractors and forage harvesters.
JDLink Ultimate provides all the popular advantages of JDLink Select. But, thanks to
CAN-Bus technology, it also adds a new dimension in fleet-management functionality for
both John Deere 6030 – 9030 Series tractors and 7050 / 7000 Self-Propelled Forage
Harvesters.
A system for all seasons.
Being able to connect directly to your vehicle communication network (CAN) enables
JDLink Ultimate to deliver detailed data on your fleet and how it is being used.
Now you can stay in control of your fleet – all year long.
The inside story.
JDLink Ultimate is also more revealing than JDLink Select when it comes to gauging
equipment performance. It can, for example, let you compare a machine’s working hours
with its idling time. Its ability to access service codes gives you the ability to prevent
potential engine damage and JDLink Ultimate makes light work of evaluating low-load,
medium-load, and high-load work levels.
JDLink Telematics Lower operating expenses.
JDLink Ultimate provides a wide range of fuel consumption data (e.g., total and hourly), as well
as low fuel level warnings. It tracks ground speeds and furnishes alerts as they would appear on
the monitor of a John Deere Tractor or SPFH. With JDLink Ultimate you can better compare your
machines.
As you like it.
Another important feature is the system’s ability to report predefined settings.
This may include:
• Reports on idle times that exceed 15 minutes
• Reports on tractors that run at 2,300 rpm for more than 20 minutes
• Reports on fuel levels that dip below 15%
Now, you can get almost any machine data you want. Thus it’s easier to pick the most
­appropriate John Deere equipment for the job at hand.
The benefits of JDLink Ultimate:
• Its versatility across John Deere equipment ensures year-round usability
• It provides an ideal way to improve maintenance support
• It monitors fuel levels and fuel consumption
• It prevents misuse by remotely accessing service codes and observing component pressures
and temperatures
