Description

When your GPS guidance starts acting up or your variable rate application rates seem off, it’s often the wheel speed sensor that’s gone south. This sensor is the missing link that tells your John Deere’s computer exactly how fast you’re moving across the field, and when it fails, all your precision farming systems start flying blind. Many precision farming issues trace back to faulty wheel speed data – this sensor is fundamental to everything from yield mapping to section control.

What You’re Getting

High-precision sensor provides accurate wheel rotation data for reliable speed monitoring
Essential component for GPS guidance and auto-steer systems that keeps you on track in the field
Enables accurate variable rate application control so you’re applying exactly what each zone needs
Direct replacement that works with your existing wiring harness and mounting hardware
Weather-sealed construction that handles the mud, dust, and vibration of heavy field work

Built for Big Tractor Work

Your John Deere 8020, 8030, or 8R series tractor is built to handle the toughest jobs on the farm – from deep tillage to heavy planting to high-speed harvest operations. These big tractors are equipped with sophisticated technology that depends on knowing exactly how fast you’re moving across the field. Whether you’re pulling a 40-foot planter, running a big cultivator, or pushing through harvest with a grain cart, accurate ground speed data is what makes all your precision systems work together.

Made to Last

This sensor is engineered to handle the demanding conditions that come with big tractor operations. Located at the wheel hub, it’s built to withstand the constant vibration, temperature changes, and exposure to dirt and moisture that comes with field work. The precision sensing elements provide consistent readings season after season, ensuring your automated systems have the reliable data they need.

Installation Notes

Installation requires proper positioning relative to the tone ring for accurate readings – the sensor gap is critical. Clean all mounting surfaces and electrical connections thoroughly since corrosion causes erratic readings. After installation, calibrate through your display by driving a known distance. If you’ve been seeing “no speed signal” errors or erratic ground speed readings, this sensor is likely your solution.
