2025 John Deere StarFire™ 7500 Receiver Base

2025 John Deere StarFire™ 7500 Receiver

• RTK-like accuracy – 2.5 cm pass to pass accuracy

• SF-RTK achieves 73% faster pull-in times1, compared to SF3 signal

• Long-term repeatability, season to season

• Drop-in replacement for StarFire™ 6000 Receiver

Features may include:

• Increased performance with StarFire™ 7500 Receiver

• When it comes to large agricultural, small agriculture and turf customers, the StarFire 7500 receiver is precise – allowing for repeatable placement of machines, fertilizer, seed, and herbicides.

• 100 percent increase in satellite constellations used by the receiver

• 17 percent greater accuracy

• Long-term repeatability (where applicable) vs. 9 months

• 73 percent reduction in pull-in time

• Universal offering that’s compatible with older and competitive equipment

• Interchangeable: tillage, planting, spraying, and harvesting

• RTK precision without the radio

• The StarFire 7500 Receiver offers a new correction level with accuracy like RTK Radio. The SF-RTK correction level provides 2.5-cm (1-in.) horizontal accuracy without the need for additional hardware. This is an improvement of 17 percent from the previous generation of StarFire receiver with SF3. The SF-RTK signal uses two additional satellite constellations (BeiDou and Galileo) as well as both GPS (United States) and GLONASS (Russia) satellites.

• The StarFire 7500 and StarFire 7500 Integrated Receivers simultaneously track correction signals from up to three StarFire correction satellites. The receiver tracks and uses correction signals from all StarFire satellites in view and intelligently chooses one that delivers the best performance. When the receiver moves into an area where the primary StarFire signal is blocked, such as near a tree line, the receiver automatically switches to an alternate StarFire signal (if visible) to help maintain accuracy and performance.

• SF-RTK

• John Deere’s latest satellite correction offering provides customers with simplified access to Radio RTK like accuracy and repeatability. Prior to SF-RTK, customers had to purchase additional hardware, RTK Ready or Permanent Licenses, and in most use cases work with a local John Deere dealer to access their base station network to use Radio RTK.

• SF-RTK eliminates that complexity through offering the same level of accuracy and repeatability from the sky! Plus, with SF-RTK there’s no need to switch base stations when moving between fields like seen with Radio RTK.

• What does SF-RTK do?

• The StarFire 7500 utilizes four GNSS satellite constellations, which are corrected through John Deere’s StarFire network to provide sub-inch horizontal accuracy. This provides customer’s our highest accuracy level, along with long-term repeatability (where applicable) to enable advanced guidance features and the confidence that guidance lines and boundaries won't shift from year to year.

• Why should customers use SF-RTK?

• Customers are continually looking for simplified solutions that deliver the value needed for their operation. SF-RTK offers a lower cost of entry for customers compared to Radio RTK, making this solution an easy decision for customers looking to use a high precision correction signal. Why pay for additional hardware, permanent licenses and base station access fees when SF-RTK only requires a yearly license to operate on your StarFire 7000 or StarFire 7500 receiver.
