Grain Harvest Weight Sharing: Real-Time Cart Weights for Everyone

Simplify harvest coordination and eliminate guesswork with integrated, live grain cart weights shared across your John Deere G5 Advanced displays and mobile.

What is Grain Harvest Weight Sharing?

Grain Harvest Weight Sharing (GHWS) is a core feature of the G5 Advanced package that displays real-time grain cart weights across all John Deere displays in the field and the John Deere Operations Center mobile app. This means the combine, grain cart, and even semi drivers always know the current cart weight, no matter where they are.

Key Benefits

  • Eliminate Confusion During Harvest: All team members can see live grain cart weights, preventing overloaded or underutilized carts and reducing the need for radio check-ins.

  • Improved Logistics: Easily coordinate grain transfers, bin assignments, and truck loads with shared real-time information—no more guesswork or repeated driving.

  • Accurate Record Keeping: Seamless integration with Operations Center means grain movement is automatically documented, supporting accurate yield analysis and inventory management.

  • Reduce Harvest Stress: Field teams work more smoothly together, and operators stay focused on safe, efficient harvest—not on estimating cart loads by eye.

How It Works

  • Compatible grain carts are equipped with scales that connect to the John Deere G5 display and Operations Center mobile app.

  • Current cart weights are automatically updated and displayed in real time for all operators on the network, including those in combines, additional carts, and transport vehicles.

Getting Started

  1. Confirm Scale Compatibility:
    Ensure your grain cart has a compatible scale system that can connect with John Deere G5 Advanced displays.

  2. Connect Equipment in Operations Center:
    Add all relevant machines to your Operations Center account for unified data management.

  3. Enable Weight Sharing in Display:
    In the G5 Advanced menu, select Grain Harvest Weight Sharing and follow the prompts to sync the scale data with all participating units.

  4. Monitor and Adjust:
    Use the real-time weight data field-side and in the mobile app to optimize every harvest run, grain transfer, and truck load.
