Why upgrade your John Deere planting equipment?

There are many reasons why you should upgrade your planting equipment with John Deere Precision Upgrade Kits. Here are a few:

  • You’re considering replacing your planting equipment but not quite sure you want to take on the commitment of a new model
  • You’re confident in your current equipment’s performance, but are curious about new technology and want to optimize what you already have
  • You’re not really in the market for new equipment right now, but want to ensure you’re performing as efficiently as possible in the field

Upgrading your equipment might be just what you and your land need. Keep reading to learn about three major benefits available with a John Deere Precision Upgrade Kit.

MaxEmerge™ Row Units 

Not all fields are created equal. Oftentimes, growers have curved or oddly shaped areas to contend with. Spaces like this are no match for MaxEmerge™ technology! Maintain population accuracy around curves thanks to electric drive meters. This upgrade eliminates the wear and tear typical of traditional mechanical drives. Row-by-row shutoff allows for precise spacing, even around corners. 

With a wide variety of crop availability for this upgrade, this may be just what your operation needs to enhance your variable rate planting capabilities! 

ExactEmerge™

Uniformity is a key factor in successful plant growth. ExactEmerge™ is designed to place each seed precisely at the bottom of each trench. Population control is easy with this upgrade, no matter the terrain on your land.

This upgrade will make your long days shorter without sacrificing quality work. Learn more about the ExactEmerge™ upgrade here.

Individual Row Hydraulic Downforce (IRHD)

The IRHD upgrade will increase your planting performance at high speeds with 5 times per second adjustments. In addition to active pneumatic downforce, which allows you to increase or decrease pressure from the comfort of the cab, IRHD boosts seed-to-soil contact and ensures consistency when planting.
