Mandatory Update

John Deere Software Update 20-2

If the mandatory John Deere Software Update 20-2 has not been completed, you will no longer receive a signal on SF3000 and SF6000 receivers. This transition is due to government decommissioning of the outdated GPS signal.

Note: For SF3000 Receivers having issues acquiring GPS Signal after the mandatory update, here is a QUICK FIX. If this does not resolve, please contact us at 1-866-777-1077.
