About

Keep the machine. Rethink the screen.


Got an older John Deere that's still doing everything you need it to, but the display is starting to show its age? Or perhaps you're ready for the features of a newer Universal Display?


Our Non-Tractor CommandARM to Universal Display Adaptor lets you completely replace the original 7" CommandARM or armrest-mounted 2630 in compatible John Deere self-propelled machinery.


Depending on your existing configuration, you can upgrade to a compatible John Deere 2630, Gen 4 (4640), G5 or G5Plus Universal Display.


And it's not just for combines. We also manufacture this adaptor for compatible John Deere self-propelled sprayers, spreaders, forage harvesters, windrowers, cotton pickers and sugar cane harvesters.


No need to keep your old screen hidden in the cab.


The harness connects directly to the existing armrest display connection, allowing the original screen to be removed entirely. It also includes the video connector to retain the machine's integrated video connection.


Supported machine functions remain accessible through the replacement display's ISOBUS Virtual Terminal (VT), while GreenStar functionality such as mapping and AutoTrac/autosteer can continue operating, subject to compatible equipment and the appropriate display activations.


Whether your old display has failed, you're after more screen space or you're simply looking to get more out of a machine that's still got plenty of life left in it, this adaptor provides another practical upgrade option.

Compatibility

Will it work with your machine?


Compatible machinery


Designed for compatible John Deere machines originally fitted with either a 7" CommandARM or an armrest-mounted 2630, including:


  • S600 and T600 Series combines

  • Self-propelled forage harvesters

  • Self-propelled windrowers

  • Self-propelled sprayers and spreaders

  • Cotton pickers

  • Sugar cane harvesters


Compatible replacement displays


  • John Deere 2630 — when replacing an original 7" CommandARM

  • John Deere Gen 4 Universal Display (4640)

  • John Deere G5 Universal Display

  • John Deere G5Plus Universal Display


Fitting a 2630?


We manufacture a specific version of the adaptor for replacing an original 7" CommandARM with a 2630, at the same harness price.


The video port keying and mounting bracket differ from those used with Gen 4/G5 displays, so please tell us which display you're installing when ordering.


Not compatible with


  • John Deere G5e Display

  • Machines fitted with 4200 or 4600 Integrated Displays

  • John Deere R Series tractors


Upgrading an R Series tractor instead?


Our Tractor CommandARM to Universal Display Adaptor is designed for supported 2010–2014 R Series tractors originally fitted with a 7" CommandARM.


If you'd prefer to retain the original 7" screen alongside a newer display, you can also explore our Tractor CommandARM Dual Display Adaptor.


Not sure whether your machine is compatible?


Send us your machine model, year, existing display and intended replacement display. We'll help confirm the correct harness configuration.



Important Considerations


What happens to your machine information?


Unlike many John Deere tractors, compatible combines, sprayers, forage harvesters and other self-propelled machines typically have a separate Primary Display Unit (PDU), usually located on the front-right cab pillar.


Think of it like your car's dashboard. It displays important operating information such as ground speed, engine temperature, selected gears and other machine-specific details independently of the original CommandARM screen.


This means replacing your 7" CommandARM or armrest-mounted 2630 doesn't necessarily mean losing access to the machine information you rely on.


Supported machine functions can also remain accessible through the ISOBUS VT on your replacement Universal Display.


Engine hours


Whether engine hours appear on your replacement Universal Display depends on your machine and display configuration.

If your machine is fitted with an MTG, engine hours may also be available through John Deere Operations Center.


If engine-hour visibility is important to you, please check with us before ordering so we can discuss your particular setup.


Display activations


Activations held on the original CommandARM cannot be transferred to a Gen 4, G5 or G5Plus Universal Display.

Depending on the functions you use, equivalent activations may need to already be available on, or purchased for, your replacement display.


Any activations already held on the replacement Universal Display are unaffected by fitting our adaptor.


CommandARM buttons and controls


When upgrading to a Gen 4 or G5 display, some original CommandARM navigation buttons will no longer function as they did with the older display. Supported machine functions remain accessible, but certain navigation tasks move to the replacement display's touchscreen. 


We've included further details in the FAQs below.



Fitment & Routing

Installation


Our adaptor plugs into the machine's existing armrest display connection, allowing the original 7" CommandARM or armrest-mounted 2630 to be removed completely.


The correct harness configuration will depend on your existing display and the Universal Display you intend to install.


Mounting options — one screen or two?


Keeping it simple with one display?


Our standard single-display mounting bracket is available separately for $50 AUD (ex GST) and provides a mounting solution for compatible replacement Universal Displays.


Planning a dual-display setup?


Upgrading your armrest display doesn't mean you're limited to one screen.


Our AgriStag Precision Ag Dual Display Bracket provides a practical side-by-side mounting option for a compatible Extended Monitor or second display alongside your replacement Universal Display.


The bracket is sold separately, with package pricing available when purchased alongside eligible AgriStag harnessing. Additional harnessing may be required depending on your intended configuration.


Not sure which arrangement will suit your machine? Let us know what you're working with and which displays you'd like to run.




Frequently Asked Questions


Will mapping and AutoTrac/autosteer still work?


GreenStar functions such as mapping and AutoTrac/autosteer can continue operating through your replacement display, provided the appropriate activations and compatible GreenStar equipment are available. Activations held on the original CommandARM cannot be transferred to the newer Universal Display.


Will my machine functions and ISOBUS implements still appear?


Supported machine functions load through the ISOBUS VT on compatible Gen 4, G5 and G5Plus Universal Displays. These can be configured as run pages using Layout Manager. Navigation between run pages differs from older displays, with the top-left of the screen used instead of the original top-right page-turn arrows. Through our testing, compatible ISOBUS implements also continue to appear through the VT as normal.


Which CommandARM buttons will stop working?


When upgrading to a Gen 4 or G5 Universal Display, the following original navigation buttons no longer function:


  • A–J

  • Tick and cross

  • Home

  • Upward arrow with dashes


These functions are replaced by touchscreen controls on the newer display. Other controls continue operating where supported.


Can I still use an Extended Monitor?


Yes. Fitting the Universal Display to the armrest doesn't prevent use of the Extended Monitor port. Our Precision Ag Dual Display Bracket may provide a suitable mounting option for your configuration, with additional harnessing available where required.
