Combine Advisor
Combine Advisor is a suite of technologies (HarvestSmart, Active Terrain Adjustment, and Auto Maintain) designed to maximize harvesting profits. The features help the operator set and optimize the S700 Combine and then automate the combine to maintain the performance target as terrain and crop conditions change utilizing sensors and cameras that are actively monitoring. Once John Deere Combine Advisor is set into motion, the operator will experience ease-of-use benefits coupled with increased productivity.
4600 CommandCenter Display
The 4600 CommandCenter is the central information system used on all John Deere S700 Combines starting in 2018. The display allows the operator to view various important harvest and diagnostic information during harvesting and see it in a layout based on operator preferences. The 4600 CommandCenter has been developed in combination with the CommandARM™ console and the multifunction control lever to deliver outstanding ergonomics paired with best-in-class natural navigation.
Active Concave Isolation (ACI) increases threshing capacity
ACI increases throughput in tough threshing small grains and rice without sacrificing overall grain savings. This system allows producers to continue to harvest outside the optimal harvest window and conditions. The concaves are suspended by hydraulic cylinders that increase the amount of crop that is being threshed as well as reduces the amount of rotor noise that is heard by the operator.
Automatic shifting with ProDrive™ transmission
The industry-exclusive ProDrive system uses PowerShift™ transmission technology to automatically shift between two speed ranges as ground conditions and terrain change to keep the combine harvesting at the desired ground speed. Valuable harvest time will no longer be lost shifting on hills and when exiting fields to start transporting.
Range one can be set for typical harvesting speeds. Range two can be used when higher speeds are needed during harvest or when transporting the combine.
The ground speed can be infinitely varied within both modes by the operator, using the multifunction control lever on the CommandARM™ armrest console. The multifunction lever regulates the high-capacity, variable hydrostatic pump and motor that drives the ground speed.
Platform tilt increases header productivity from the combine
Platform tilt allows operators to hydraulically adjust the fore-aft pitch of front-end equipment on-the-go with the touch of a button from the cab to adapt to changing crop and field conditions.
The 17 degrees of platform tilt maximizes performance of header in down crop or changing field conditions to extend the harvest day by up to one hour.

Nicely done sir.
