Features


SeedStarâ„¢ 4HP monitoring system

SeedStar 4HP is designed to optimize the in-cab monitoring experience exclusively on the Gen 4 4600 CommandCenterâ„¢ display or 4640 Universal Display for growers with ExactEmergeâ„¢ planters and MaxEmergeâ„¢ 5e planters model year 2018 and newer. With SeedStar 4HP, operators will easily see key planter information with customizable run pages, zoom functionality, and simultaneous graph and performance measurements. SeedStar 4HP is included in base on all model year 2018 ExactEmerge and MaxEmerge 5e planters.

Mobile row-unit runoff

The first day of planting season can be as productive as the last with mobile row-unit runoff. The mobile row-unit runoff activation on the planter main controller (PMC) allows operators to make adjustments to maximise row-unit performance from a mobile device at the rear of the planter for both preseason and in-season use – all enabled through the PlanterPlus™ app.

Downforce system options

Heavy-duty adjustable downforce springs

Planter row-unit downforce is an important factor to ensure consistent and proper depth control. The heavy-duty adjustable downforce feature provides up to 181.4 kg (400 lb) of downforce. There are four settings available to allow the operator to choose the amount of downforce required for the condition: 0 kg (0 lb), 56.7 kg (125 lb), 113.4 kg (250 lb), and 181.4 kg (400 lb).

Pneumatic closing wheels

Pneumatic closing wheels are compatible with MaxEmergeâ„¢ 5e and ExactEmergeâ„¢ row-units. They are available on the following models from the factory: 1775NT, 1795, and DB60 models. The pneumatic closing wheels give operators the ability to adjust closing wheels in seconds without leaving the cab of the tractor.

Curve compensation

Terraces or waterways are two of many field obstacles that make planting on a curve challenging. When planters utilise drive shafts, they are not able to control each individual row-unit; as a result, planting on a curve presents an issue of maintaining 100 percent population. Since the inside rows are moving slower than the outside rows, the inside rows will be over populating while the outside rows are under populating.

With ExactEmergeâ„¢ planters and equipped MaxEmergeâ„¢ 5e planters, the curve compensation feature allows each row to receive an individual signal based on the speed at which the row-unit is moving, maintaining the correct population across the width of the planter. Without curve compensation, there could be as much as a 24 percent drop in population accuracy, which is equivalent to 8,600 seeds per acre when planting at 36,000 seeds per acre.

RowCommandâ„¢ individual-row control system

RowCommand controls seed output

Controlling input costs and improving productivity are key producer requirements today. RowCommand is an effective, integrated John Deere solution designed to meet these intensifying needs. The RowCommand system manages seed output, reduces yield drag, and improves harvest capabilities on all Pro-Shaft™ driven row-units, and chain-driven MaxEmerge 5.

Seed variable-rate drive (VRD) with half- or three-width disconnect

The seed variable-rate drive provides the ultimate planting productivity by utilising one, two or three hydraulic motors (varies by model) to turn the seeding drive shaft. Hydraulic control of the seeding drive allows for on-the-go seeding rate changes right from the display mounted inside the tractor cab.

Combine this seeding flexibility with the map-based planting option, and seeding rates adjust automatically based on a prescription map.

DB fertiliser options

Option code 2625 – Liquid fertiliser with row-unit mounted in-furrow applicator:

  • This option contains a ground driven pump, plumbing to a manifold, and routing to each row-unit. The in-furrow applicator places fertiliser after the seed and before the closing wheels.

Central Commodity System (CCSâ„¢) seed delivery system

CCS seed delivery adds productivity through increased seed capacity, bulk fill capability, and easy, thorough cleanout.

The two tanks have a combined capacity of 2466.7 L (70 bu) on 9.1-m (30-ft) planters and 3523.9 L (100 bu) on 12.2-m (40-ft) and larger planters. CCS tanks are manufactured using a rotomolded, polyethylene design to ensure maximum durability. The translucent tanks allow easily viewing the amount of seed in the tanks. The tanks are separated by 54.6 cm (21.5 in.) for enhanced rear visibility during transport and backing.
