Spraying Smarter, Not Harder: The Power of See & Spray™ Precision Upgrade Kits (PUKs)

How do See & Spray™ PUKs save money for our local producers?

We know that "new" isn't always in the budget, but "better" definitely should be. At 21st Century Equipment, our precision team is focused on helping you squeeze every drop of value out of your current fleet. By choosing a Precision Upgrade Kit (PUK), you're essentially giving your trusted sprayer a high-tech "brain transplant" that pays for itself in chemical savings.

Our technicians have seen these kits in action across the high plains, and the math is hard to ignore.

  • Massive Chemical Savings: Target only the weeds and skip the bare ground to reduce herbicide use by up to 59%.
  • Lower Capital Investment: Get the latest John Deere tech on the chassis you already own and trust.
  • Boosted Resale Value: Retrofitting your machine with G5-compatible tech ensures it stays relevant in a rapidly changing market.

Why is AutoTrac™ Turn Automation the next big thing for 2025?

Operating a sprayer for 12 hours a day is a recipe for a sore neck and a tired mind. That’s why we are so excited about the 2025 software updates bringing AutoTrac™ Turn Automation to the sprayer lineup.

Our hands-on experience with this software at our test farms shows it’s a game-changer for consistency.

  1. Hands-Free End Rows: The sprayer handles the turn, allowing the operator to focus on boom height and pressure.
  2. Reduced Soil Compaction: By hitting the same tracks every time, you protect your "backyard" from unnecessary footprints.
  3. Perfect Boom Management: Integrated with BoomTrac™ Pro, the system ensures your tips stay at the perfect height through the entire turn.

The Tech Behind the "Green-on-Brown" Revolution

The magic happens through a series of high-speed cameras mounted along the boom that process images faster than the human eye can blink. When the system identifies a weed, it triggers Individual Nozzle Control to deliver a precise hit of chemical exactly where it’s needed.

Our veteran specialists have spent years calibrating these systems to handle the specific weed varieties we see in Nebraska, Colorado, and Wyoming. We don't just "bolt it on"; we ensure your See & Spray™ setup is tuned for your specific soil types and crop rotations.

How does this tech help you stay ahead of the curve?

We aren't just selling a kit; we’re offering a way to make your operation more sustainable and profitable. Using a "Customer-First" perspective, our team at 21st Century Equipment is dedicated to helping you master these digital tools so you can spend less time in the cab and more time with your family.

If you want to see these cameras in action, join our Precision Ag team at the High Plains Ag Expo on February 25, 2026. We’ll have a retrofitted machine on-site so you can see exactly how the PUK installation looks and feels.

Common Questions About See & Spray™ Upgrades (FAQ)

Can I install a See & Spray™ PUK on an older R-Series sprayer? Generally, yes! Compatibility depends on your sprayer's model year and existing display. Our technicians can perform a "Tech Audit" on your machine to see if it’s ready for the upgrade.

What is the difference between See & Spray™ Select and Premium? Select is primarily for "Green-on-Brown" (fallow ground) spraying, while Premium uses advanced machine learning to distinguish weeds from crops, allowing for "Green-on-Green" applications in standing corn, soy, or cotton.

How long does a PUK installation take? Our factory-certified team can typically complete a full See & Spray™ PUK installation in a few days. We recommend scheduling this during the off-season to ensure you are calibrated and ready before the first pass of the year.

Do I need a G5 display for these features? To get the most out of the 2025 software updates and AutoTrac™ Turn Automation, a G5 or Gen 4 4600 CommandCenter™ is highly recommended for the best processing speeds and user experience.
