Planters & Planting Equipment

Plant for Success

John Deere offers an entire portfolio that takes every farmer into account — the crop you grow, the topography of your land, the size of your operation, and your budget. Whether you want to replace your planter with a new machine, or upgrade your current planter with new row units, we have the Planting Equipment and Precision Upgrades you need to plant with success.

  • Master Your Planting Window

    Hitting the right window can contribute to an additional 4–10 bu./acre (348.31–870.78 L/ha) to your yield1, and with time being critical, getting to the field sooner is essential. Planting soybeans as early as possible and corn in the best conditions possible leads to the best agronomic outcomes.

    John Deere solutions like ExactEmerge™ deliver fast, accurate planting—even at speeds up to 10 mph (16.1 km/h)—with unmatched population uniformity, helping you hit your optimal planting window with confidence. EasyStart™ and the Integrated 56V Tractor Power Tether Harness help you set up and start planting faster.

  • Uniform Stands. Maximum Seed Potential.

    Uneven emergence leads to inter-plant competition and reduces your total yield potential. Uniform emergence can add to your yield, making correct seed depth crucial to avoid uneven emergence. Solutions like ExactDepth™ ensure precision, while high-residue management tools such as FurrowVision™ and EasyAdjust™ Row Cleaners help mitigate delays. Downforce Automation powered by FurrowVision also prevents compaction or collapse of the furrow by automating downforce settings.

  • Feed the Seed

    Proper nutrient management can boost yields by 10–15 bu./acre (870.8–1,306.2 L/ha)1, supported by solutions like ExactShot™, which places nutrients precisely in the furrow— both supporting your best yield outcomes and cutting in-furrow nutrient costs up to 60%2.

Dual Product Tank Configuration

Ensure that your seed receives the right nutrients at critical growth stages for higher yields. Featuring dual liquid tanks and stainless steel fertilizer lines with pumps relocated for improved priming efficiency, this system allows for precise nutrient management. It enables simultaneous application of "pop-up" fertilizer in-furrow and "starter" fertilizer off to the side, maximizing nutrient delivery and optimizing the planter's carrying capacity.

Downforce Automation powered by FurrowVision™

Setting the right downforce across varying field conditions can be a challenge. Simplify the process by automatically optimizing downforce settings, creating the ideal furrow for every field. FurrowVision measures ground contact, soil resistance, and furrow health to optimize furrow conditions and planter performance.

Watch the First-Ever Planter Showdown!

Beck's Hybrids hosted the ultimate battle of the brands as John Deere took on Case IH and Fendt in a head-to-head competition to determine the champion of planters. John Deere brought the 8RX 410 Tractor to the field, paired with the 1795 Planter and ExactEmerge™ Row Units, as each brand showcased their top planter-and-tractor combinations on two 40-acre fields, focusing on key performance metrics that matter to you: emergence, stand count, spacing, and overall yield.

Testing planting speed and performance, seed size capability, and ease of use, watch how and why John Deere emerged victorious as they put planting power and intelligence to the test.

It's the ultimate battle of the brands—CASE IH, FENDT, and John Deere—each bringing their top planter and tractor combinations to compete head-to-head for the title of Planter Champion.
