John Deere proudly presents the 500R Self-Propelled Sprayer—a game-changer built to set new benchmarks in performance and precision. Designed from the ground up to meet the needs of modern agriculture, the 500R ensures every droplet hits its mark, thanks to cutting-edge application control and rock-solid boom stability. Topped off with a premium cab tailored for operator comfort, this machine is engineered to go the distance—efficiently, accurately, and comfortably.

Designed with Farmers in Mind

Built Around You. Built for the Field.

The 500R isn’t just a machine—it’s a response to the real-world demands of today’s growers. With unmatched cab-to-boom visibility, operators gain a crystal-clear view for safer, more precise spraying. A balanced chassis design ensures optimal weight distribution for traction and control—on the road or in the field. Plus, its streamlined, narrow frame makes transport hassle-free without compromising platform size or performance.

First-Class Comfort & Seamless Control

A Cab That Works as Hard as You Do

Step inside the fully pressurized cab with Category 4 filtration, keeping operators protected from chemical exposure. Smart storage options—from armrest compartments to behind-seat space—keep essentials close. Meanwhile, premium infotainment features like Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™ turn every job into a smoother ride, with easy access to calls, music, and navigation.

At the heart of the cab is the G5Plus CommandCenter™, featuring a 35% larger display and 75% faster response than before. Operators benefit from full-HD clarity, familiar satellite-style mapping, and quick-glance data from the corner post display. The redesigned CommandArm places grouped controls right at your fingertips, and a new multifunction joystick simplifies key operations like speed adjustment, braking, and spray functions—all without taking your eyes off the job.

Boom Control That Raises the Bar

Precision That Stays Locked In

With BoomTrac™ Pro 2, you get five boom sensors and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) that constantly monitor and adjust boom height in real-time. That means consistent spray accuracy, minimal drift, and smoother operation—even at higher speeds. The active centre frame provides maximum boom stiffness, while a smart dampening system keeps everything stable—even across rough terrain.

Intelligent Drivetrain, Maximum Efficiency

Power That Adjusts to Every Condition

At its core, the 500R is powered by the CommandDrive™ hydrostatic transmission, offering infinite speed variability and unmatched traction. Four variable wheel motors, each paired with heavy-duty planetary hubs, adjust independently to terrain and load—delivering consistent power where it’s needed most. On the road, Auto Mode reduces engine RPM to 1,350, lowering fuel consumption and noise without sacrificing performance.

Precision Ag at Its Finest

98% Spray Accuracy. 100% John Deere.

The 500R integrates John Deere’s top-tier tech—PowrSpray™, ExactApply™, and BoomTrac™ Pro 2—to deliver up to 98% accuracy in every application. With instant rate control, individual nozzle management, and pulse-width modulation, the system ensures even droplet sizing and exact coverage across all speeds and curves. New multi-rate functionality allows up to 11 spray zones across the boom, unlocking the highest level of precision yet.

Solenne Bourgeois, Product Marketing Manager for Europe, sums it up:

“The new 500R is 100% John Deere—from the premium combine cab to the robust 6R engine and the trusted PowrSpray™ system. It’s built for comfort, intuitive control, and precision spraying—delivering the power and performance our farmers expect.”
