The planter auxiliary camera utilizes an adjustable magnetic mounting base. This allows customers the ability to move and adjust the field of view to see what’s most important to them.
The Integrated 56V Tractor Power Tether Harness simplifies the tractor-to-planter connection process while leveraging the power generation capabilities of Model year 2027 and newer 8 series tractors with an EVT transmission and the 56V (15kw) integrated Electric Power Generation option. Available for MY27 electric drive planters, the 56V harness reduces complexity and improves operational efficiency by eliminating the need for PTO-driven power generation to operate planter functions.
The Integrated 56V Tractor Power Tether Harness is only compatible with Model year 2027 and newer 8 Series Tractors with an EVT transmission and the 56V (15kw) integrated Electric Power Generation option.
Electric drive planters with PTO power gen that match with the compatibility table below can be fitted with an aftermarket parts kit to enable the 56V harness if that planter will be connected to a Model year 2027 and newer 8 Series Tractors with an EVT transmission and the 56V (15kw) integrated Electric Power Generation option. The 56V Tractor Power Tether Harness is not compatible with hydraulic power generation systems and is only able to replace current PTO power generation systems. A software update will be required after changing from PTO power gen to the 56V Power Tether Harness. Aftermarket parts kit numbers will be released before the MY27 Planter EOP in June of 2026.

What is the right downforce setting to use when planting? Does the best setting change field to field? Does it change within a field? There are so many questions around this crucial planter setting that seem to not have an answer.
Here’s what we do know:
Downforce Automation powered by FurrowVision optimizes downforce settings in real time to improve furrow quality across every field condition. By evaluating Ground Contact, Soil Resistance, and Furrow Health (via FurrowVision), the system determines the ideal amount of applied downforce for each environment. This removes the need for operators to manually adjust settings from field to field and ensures more consistent furrow formation and seed placement.
The system will start from the last downforce setting input in the monitor and take time to evaluate different settings to optimize the furrow. Once optimized, Downforce Automation will continually test different downforce settings to ensure the best outcome by adjusting how much downforce is applied by 5 – 10 lbs at a time. As planting continues in a field, Downforce Automation will re-optimize settings at regular intervals or changes in planting conditions, seeding depth, soil type, or planting speed for example, may trigger a re-optimization event. In a normal 60–80-acre field, there will be 4 different downforce settings on average identified by the system.
Downforce Automation is available on any planter equipped with FurrowVision. See FurrowVision compatibility for a list of specific planter models
What used to involve digging behind the planter to verify seed depth, observe side-wall quality, and ensure row cleaners were set properly can now be done from the seat of your cab while you continue to plant.
FurrowVision technology gives operators real-time analysis and video of the open section of the furrow between the TruVee openers and closing system.
EasyStart is a software feature that streamlines the planter startup process by providing a guided workflow on a single screen accessible with a shortcut bar button. Instead of navigating multiple run pages, operators follow a step-by-step process that automatically detects planter equipment and populates all necessary pre-plant tasks. This simplifies setup and gets you planting faster. Once planting, all your commonly used on/off buttons remain easily accessible in one place in the shortcut bar.
Walking Tandem Center Wheels improve planter ground following by replacing traditional solid axle center wheels with a tandem design that distributes weight more evenly across the soil surface. This design helps reduce berming at field headlands and improves planter performance in challenging conditions by maintaining more consistent ground contact across the center of the planter.
All DB planters will now have Walking Tandem Center Wheels in base from the factory
Liquid fertilizer level sensing is available on model year 2026 electric drive planters.
Fertilizer level sensing allows farmers to know how much liquid fertilizer is left in the tank from the convenience of the cab. The fertilizer level is displayed on the G5 CommandCenter™ Display in the SeedStar™ app.
Seed level sensing is available on all model year 2026 electric drive planters equipped with Central Commodity System (CCS) tanks operating on the SeedStar™ 5 planter application.
Seed level sensing gives farmers better knowledge of planter seed levels. This reduces the risk of running out of seed while planting also allowing farmers to better manage seed tendering logistics to have the seed in the right place at the right time.
View individual and total tank levels from the G5 CommandCenter™ display in the SeedStar app:
John Deere factory-installed liquid tanks offer a convenient way to carry fluid on the planter frame. Styling cues match the CCS™ system tanks, and all brackets and mountings are 100 percent factory installed.
As planting windows get tighter, many growers are working longer hours to get the seed in the ground. With the planter LED lighting package, John Deere delivers better visibility when planting a night.
SeedStar 5 is the latest monitoring software for John Deere planters available for Model Year 2025. This system is paired with G5 displays and Implement Ethernet to provide high-definition documentation, faster data speeds, and more information in the cab.

Option code 2625 – Liquid fertilizer with row-unit mounted in-furrow applicator:
The DB60 24Row Split 47 Planter and DB60 24Row Split 48 Planter applies fertilizer on 76.2-cm (30-in.) row spacing only.
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 maximize row-unit performance from a mobile device at the rear of the planter for both preseason and in-season use - all enabled through the Equipment Mobile app.
Mobile row-unit runoff allows growers to perform test-stand functions from a mobile device connected to the planter.
The row runoff test provides complete diagnostic checks both preseason and in season. With the row-unit runoff test, the operator can make adjustments from the mobile device, including vacuum pressure, to determine the optimum meter and vacuum settings. This app functionality will help avoid making trips to the cab while validating meter performance.
During preseason planter inspections and set up, utilize the meter performance test to validate meter accuracy, similar to a test stand without leaving the farm. Test all systems on the planter, not just the meter, providing confidence that all planter systems are ready to plant. Reports are generated from the test providing information the operator can save and send for future reference.
Before heading to the field, the operator will benefit from knowing the best row-unit and vacuum settings for each variety selected to plant that spring.
Watch this video to see mobile row-unit runoff in action.
Mobile row-unit runoff will work with any model year 2015 or newer ExactEmerge™ or MaxEmerge™ 5e equipped planter. Mobile row-unit runoff can be added with attachment AA93169.
For model year 2018 and newer ExactEmerge planters, mobile row-unit runoff is included in base equipment. For model year 2020 and newer MaxEmerge 5e planters, mobile row-unit runoff is included in base equipment. For planters not equipped from the factory, mobile row-unit runoff can be added with attachment AA93169. A mobile row-unit runoff and Easy Fold package can be added with attachment AA97849 (only available with 1775NT and 1795 Planters with a 2-point hitch and model year 2019 and newer DB Planters with Gen 4 based frame folding).
NOTE: Mobile runoff utilizes the Equipment Mobile app available on select iPad® tablets, iPhone® smartphones, and Android™ devices.

IRHD has been specifically designed to meet the needs of producers that are looking to adjust to the toughest field conditions and provide maximum yield potential from field to field, season after season. IRHD works as a closed-loop downforce system that reacts quickly on an individual row basis to changing soil conditions supporting increased ground contact, which can lead to improved seed depth consistency. When setting planter downforce margin, the system will apply the needed downforce by row to maintain ground contact.
The system allows operators to maintain gauge wheel ground contact leading to desired seed depth placement. IRHD can adjust five times per second and make adjustments of 45.4 kg (100 lb) in less than a second. The system has a total range of applied downforce from 22.7 kg (50 lb) to 204.1 kg (450 lb) and utilizes the power beyond circuit on the tractor. IRHD is 58 percent faster than the active pneumatic downforce solution. Fast reaction and increased ground contact can lead to improved emergence. With uniform emergence, some studies have shown a yield impact from 5 percent to 9 percent.
IRHD is controlled through the G5 Display with SeedStar 5. As shown below, operators can view ground contact or applied downforce using the toggle button.
The IRHD actuator is the foundation of ensuring accurate seed depth and seed-to-soil contact at higher planting speeds up to 16.1 km/h (10 mph). The newly redesigned IRHD actuator was designed with durability and optimal performance in mind. Consisting of a valve, pressure sensor, cylinder, and now, two accumulators, the new design allows the operator to reduce downtime with recharges instead of replacements. With two rechargeable nitrogen accumulators built into the new IRHD actuator, it maintains performance, even at low nitrogen levels. This allows reduced downtime for the operator, and optimal performance over entire operating range. Pressure control from the IRHD actuator ensures optimal system performance by dampening shocks from field obstacles while operating in the field. The reduction of shock loads prevents excessive wear and broken row unit components due to the new robust and durable design. Frequently worn parts such as the accumulator pistons and seals can be replaced. The actuator rod has an internal retention feature to prevent oil loss in the event of a row unit failure.
Heavy-duty parallel arm for IRHD Planter row units available
A hydraulically driven compressor works with the G5 Display with SeedStar 5 systems to automate downforce control. Just set the row-unit target margin value and the active pneumatic downforce system works automatically. The system will make sure the planter maintains this value, achieving precise soil penetration, and consistent planting depth, without sidewall soil compaction. From the factory, the system is set at 45.4 kg (100 lb) target downforce margin but may be modified for varying field conditions. This frees the operator from constantly making manual downforce adjustments as conditions change.
This system offers a split-rank control feature for 1795 and DB Split-Row Planters. On split-row planters, active downforce will control the front and rear rows independently. This compensates for differing downforce requirements between the ranks that can be caused by things like different tillage or insecticide attachments and will help maintain an accurate planting depth and consistent margin across all the rows.
Active pneumatic downforce is available as factory installed or as an attachment for field conversion.
On set point, the air compressor will be mounted on the outer hitch or frame assembly. Since the electric air compressor assembly is mounted on the outer hitch (as noted in the picture above) or frame, adjustments for row-unit downforce and related system pressures will be made electronically with the display.
When adjusting the amount of row-unit downforce using the display, the operator will select the amount of downforce (kg [lb]) to be applied across the planter. Depending on the soil conditions at hand, the operator might need to adjust the relative amount of row-unit downforce being applied during the planting operation. The integrated pneumatic downforce controls within the display will only allow for set-point operation and not automatic control as the planter is operating in different soil conditions. The pneumatic downforce system does not have the capability to automatically adjust downforce.
Pneumatic downforce provides convenient, simple adjustment of downforce for the whole planter from one location. The amount of downforce applied is infinitely adjustable from 6.8 to 181.4 kg (15 to 400 lb). Pneumatic downforce provides more consistent downforce throughout the range of row-unit travel than mechanical spring downforce systems.
Features include:
An improved compressor is used to charge the pneumatic system. This compressor can be located on the planter frame or in the tractor cab if desired. A gauge at the compressor indicates the amount of downforce being applied.
The functional features of the integrated system are the same as the standard pneumatic system, explained above, with the addition of control through the display.
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).
Easy Adjust row cleaner and coulter combo provides a pneumatic row tillage solution that is controlled from the seat of the tractor.
Every decision to make an adjustment during spring planting reduces the acres planted per day and can increase or decrease profitability. An adjustment that can be overlooked is row cleaners due to planter size, difficulty to make the adjustment, and varying conditions across fields and time.
With the Easy Adjust row cleaners on ExactEmerge™ planters, operators now have a pneumatic solution to make on-the-go adjustments that is controlled directly from the seat of the cab. They can be raised from the cab as needed with the push of a button for wet areas, waterways, or end rows. For growers using SeedStar 4 HP, the row cleaners are completely integrated into the John Deere Gen 4 4600 CommandCenter display or 4640 Universal Display. For growers using SeedStar 5HP, a G5 Universal Display is required.
The Easy Adjust row cleaners have the capability to save three presets for varying ground engagement based on field conditions. The system is controlled in three sections: at each wing as well as the center (frame or wheel) track rows. The pneumatic lines use air from the active pneumatic downforce compressor, requiring no additional compressor to be installed on the planter. The Easy Adjust row cleaners utilize down and up force air bags. The adjustable air pressure setting for each bag allows the operator to set the ride of the row cleaner depending on the field conditions and the desired results. Making these on-the-go adjustments from tractor cab increases productivity and performance during planting.
For Easy Adjust row cleaner Precision Upgrade options, see the ordering guide.
The row cleaner-only option utilizes parallel linkage to provide the floating action growers require in their fields. Parallel linkage allows for the unit to float up and down in the situation of hills or hard objects. The cleaner and coulter combo does not have parallel linkage, however, the row cleaners have floating rings installed to help provide the same benefits.
The row cleaners utilize the field-proven SharkTooth® design. Row cleaners play a major role in maximizing yield toward uniform emergence, reducing row-unit bounce, and maintaining proper depth. The Easy Adjust row cleaners provide growers with quick and stress-free solutions to customizing the planter in variable field conditions. They are available on most ExactEmerge and MaxEmerge 5e equipped planters.

Terraces or waterways are two of many field obstacles that make planting on a curve challenging. When planters utilize 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 overpopulated while the outside rows are underpopulated.
With ExactEmerge™ planters and equipped MaxEmerge™ 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. Curve compensation measures acceleration within the main planter controller and utilizes speed inputs to ensure each row has the desired population accuracy.
Crop yields have increased through the years along with the amount of residue left in the field after harvest. At the same time, tillage practices have changed, including different tillage operations which maintain large amounts of surface residue, and even no-till practices. Row cleaners are an essential tool in managing this increased amount of residue.
John Deere seeding group offers a variety of row cleaner options to meet the needs of a producer's operation. Compatibility varies by model, row spacing, and other planter equipment.
The screw-adjust, unit-mounted row cleaner is mounted directly to the face plate of the row-unit, placing the ground engaging components just in front of the row-unit opener blades and depth gauge wheels. This close proximity allows the gauge wheels to control the depth of the row cleaner as well as the row-unit. This compact design also allows greater compatibility with fertilizer openers and other planter attachments.
SharkTooth® wheels are standard equipment on the unit-mounted row cleaner. The swept-tooth design of the wheel provides a clear path for the row-unit openers while resisting residue buildup on the wheel. The screw adjustment knob is accessible through the top of the parallel arms, providing convenient access for adjustments. The row cleaner can be adjusted in 1.6-mm (1/16-in.) increments, providing plenty of flexibility to meet the needs of changing conditions.
The floating row cleaner allows a row cleaner to be used in conjunction with a unit-mounted coulter. This combination is often desired in heavy residue loads and reduced tillage planting conditions. The row cleaner provides a clear path for the row-unit, while the unit-mounted coulter helps penetrate tough soil conditions.
Accommodating the unit-mounted coulter means the residue wheels are farther forward from the row-unit face plate than in the case of the screw-adjust row cleaner. To maintain performance, this row cleaner has the capability to float above a defined minimum depth.
Standard depth-gauging bands on the wheels allow the row cleaner wheels to float independently of the row-unit openers, allowing both to perform in varying terrain. The unit may also be set in a fixed position by simply pinning through the bracket if desired. This row cleaner also features SharkTooth wheels as standard equipment.
The floating row cleaner and unit-mounted coulters are available on many planters as factory-installed equipment.
NOTE: Screw-adjust row cleaners are not compatible with MaxEmerge™ 5e row-units with long parallel arms.
NOTE: DB models have the option for either unit-mounted coulter, screw-adjust row cleaners, or pneumatic row cleaners (only compatible with MaxEmerge 5e or equipped ExactEmerge™ models). The DB60T is only available with a less row cleaner option.
