Air Seeders





1830 Air Hole Drill


There's nothing that gives a small-grain or oil seed producer more satisfaction than seeing a newly seeded crop emerging uniformly. John Deere's 1830 Air Hoe Drill accomplishes just that with its new flex frame design that encourages uniform seeding depth and a smooth field finish. This new frame design also provides greater durability and reliability. Plus, optional convenience features not only increase productivity, but enhance performance and safety.

Features:
  • Flexing frame.
  • Mechanical depth shims are repeatable and reliable.
  • The new 1830 and 1835 Air Hoe Drills fold to a trim profile for transportation.
  • Delivers uniform seeding depth and a smooth field finish.
  • Can be equipped with TouchSet™ depth control.
  • Available in three- and five-section models.





1835 Separate Fertiliser Placement Air Hoe Drill

Feed and seed in one pass. That's just what the 1835 Separate Fertiliser Placement Air Hoe Drill was designed to do. The unique combination of exclusive Separate Fertiliser Placement (SFP) disk openers and Tru-Position™ seed openers on a new flexible frame deliver seeding accuracy, fertiliser retention and plenty of opportunity for additional profit. With beefy reliability built into each 1835, this investment will be returning dividends for seasons ahead.
  • A narrow, 5-degree operating angle allows the SFP opener to create a narrow fertiliser trench while minimising soil disturbance and helping to preserve valuable soil moisture.
  • The Separate Fertiliser Placement openers on the 1835 feature active hydraulic down-pressure and can be locked-up when not being used.
  • Flexing Frame.
  • The new 1830 and 1835 Air Hoe Drills fold to a trim profile for transportation.
  • Reducing Nitrogen costs with Separate Fertiliser Placement (SFP).
  • Seed safety with Separate Fertiliser Placement (SFP).





1870 Air Hoe Drill

If you're seeding small grains and looking to increase yields, the 1870 featuring Hydraulic Precision Depth Control is just what you need. The unique design of the 1870 allows for very minimal soil disturbance. Combining inline and separate, adjustable seed placement with side-banded fertiliser provides precision depth control and seed and fertiliser placement.

Features:
  • The 1870 utilises two independent hydraulic accumulators which allow the seed and fertiliser openers to be set individually of each other.
  • The Conserva Pak™ openers' compact rigid design does not deflect in turns – so there’s no need to worry about potential seed and fertiliser separation while turning left, or placement of seed directly over fertiliser while turning right. The wide dual-arm truss system provides lateral strength for the opener, keeping unnecessary stress off the frame.
  • The V-shape press wheel has 89 mm (3-in.) of girth, which gives more definition to the 76 mm (3-in.) furrow and ensures 100-percent seed-to-soil contact.
  • Front castering wheels help stabilise the wing frames and allow the implement to float over uneven ground.





1890 No-Till Air Drill


The John Deere 1890 No-Till Air Drill is a sturdy machine that can seed into all-till conditions with accurate depth. New to the line-up are two wider working widths: the 50-ft and 60-ft (15 and 18 m) sizes; both are five-section tools.

The 90 Series opener provides accurate depth placement from all openers using individual float and spring pressure andhydraulic down force across the whole machine. This puts each seed in the ground with consistent depth and seed-to-soil contact so the crop emerges uniformly across the field. The emergence accuracy will translate to a great crop stand and optimum yields. You will enjoy the way the disk slices through all residue conditions, how the closing wheels conserve moisture, and how the finish across the field is smooth and even.

Features:
  • Available in 30-ft. to 60-ft. (9 to 18 metre) working widths.
  • For ample stability and flotation, the 1890 is equipped with four pairs of tyres on the centre frame and single tyres on the wing frames.
  • Patented active hydraulic down pressure adds up to 1.78 kN of pressure to openers for consistent performance in all conditions.
  • A three-section drawn flexible frame with over-centre fold for transport. 
  • John Deere seeding equipment is compatible with Parallel Tracking™ or AutoTrac™.





1895 Separate Fertiliser Placement (SFP) Air Drill


The 1895 Separate Fertiliser Placement Air Drill is the one-pass solution for placing seed and fertiliser at a consistent depth across the field. The 1895 has two ranksof seed openers on 154mm (10-in.) spacing, and additionally has a third rank of openers on 508 mm (20-in.) spacing that's made to put down fertiliser. This front-running fertiliser opener is referred to as the Separate Fertiliser Placement opener, or SFP opener. It strategically places the fertiliser mid-way between every other seed row. This dual-task machine will save time, labour, fuel, and tractor hours pass, as well as conserve soil moisture by not turning the soil. Most importantly, the fertiliser is already there when the time comes for the seed to derive its benefits.

Features:
  • Independent seed and fertiliser down pressure adjustment.
  • Floating hitch allows seeding tool to follow terrain over uneven seedbeds for more accurate seeding.
  • Dual tyres are standard on the mainframe and wings for conditions where additional flotation is needed. 
  • Choose from steel (standard) or plastic gauge wheels.





750A Air Drill

Reduce tillage. Seed through residue. Save time and Money.
Get ideal seed placement in any seeding conditions.

The biggest cost savings come when you head into no-till fields with the 750A Air Drill. You'll seed accurately, without plugging and you'll save time, fuel, labour and equipment costs by making fewer passes. Plus, you'll reduce soil erosion and compaction, while conserving moisture.

But if no-till isn't for you don't worry. The 750A's state-of-the-art opener works in every tillage condition.

Look at the savings. Decide where you plan to take your operation. And then see your John Deere dealer for one of these innovative seeding tools.
  • Seed quickly and accurately up to 15 km/h.
  • A field proven single disc opener slices through all types of soil to create the furrow.
  • Depth is gauged exactly where the seed enters the ground. There's no compromise in accuracy.
  • Work wide: 3 metres (with a 1000 litre tank), or 4 metres (1800 litre), or 6 metres (2300 litre tank). Transport width 3 metres.    

One Tool. One Pass. Many ways to save.

Save time...reduce erosion...save fuel...conserve moisture... lower equipment costs... save labour... eliminate tillage passes. If you're looking to improve your bottom line, the 750A Drill is the drill you need.

Accurate seeding in a wide range of operating conditions, even in difficult no-till. A single disc opener slices through rough soil to form a crisp furrow. "Active" hydraulics help each opener penetrate evenly, ensuring each opener places seed at the precise depth you want - even over rolling ground.

Plus, you can seed up to 15 kilometres per hour while maintaining that accuracy. That allows you to cover big fields in a hurry. And no tools are needed to adjust seeding depth and pressure on press and closing wheel of the opener.

The 750A Drill is built tough. A new one-piece frame with a semi-integral hitch improves stability. Openers are easier to access. Simple monitoring means you'll know when there's a problem with the metering system, fan, drive wheel or electrical power, or if you have an empty hopper. Select tramline rhythms and turn them on or off. There's even a half width disconnect.

Information functions include: productivity, area worked (field and total), hours worked, ground and fan speeds, tramline rhythm selected an hopper reserve.
