Improvements to planter's systems increase accuracy, speed
The 1770 NT 16 Row 30 MaxEmerge Plus Planter from John Deere is a front-fold, three-section flex planter. The new frame, markers, and fertilizer and hydraulic systems are some of the many improvements over the previous model. The frame configuration has a transport width of 12 feet (3.7 meters), wing flex of +/- 21 degrees, a 412- foot (1.4 meter) shorter hitch while planting, and 22 inches (56 centimeters) of under-frame clearance during transport. The Tri-Fold marker enables the working width of the planter to be 8-feet (2.4-meter) narrower, allowing operators to move closer to fence rows and field edges. The marker cylinder also resides above the arm, free of residue and soil. The fertilizer system uses an on-board 600-gallon (2,271-liter) tank and can tow an additional 2,000-gallon (7,571-liter) nurse tank. The flow-divider option provides a more accurate and reliable distribution system with less maintenance. A simplified hydraulic system and frame-control box are designed to increase customer satisfaction with improved function.
