Twin-row design

John Deere has expanded its planter lineup to include
a twin-row (TR) planter. The 1720
TR Planter offers 12 twin rows on either 36-in. or 38-in. spacings. This
model includes a stack folding frame, CCS bulk fill, lift-assist wheels with
optional hydraulic steering, and many other features and benefits. The 1720 TR
12 x 2 Planter design is focused on providing benefits of twin
rows for producers in the southern and delta
regions.

| Deere-Bauer drive changes |
| |
|
|
Variable-rate drive motor
|
|
|
|
Due to the success and benefits offered from seed
variable-rate drive (VRD) systems, all Deere-Bauer planters are now offered with
a three-motor VRD system in base equipment. The VRD provides the ultimate
planting productivity through three hydraulic motors that turn the seeding drive
shaft.
Hydraulic control of the seeding drive allows for on-the-go
seeding rate changes right from the SeedStar™ monitoring system inside the
tractor cab. This change also discontinues the mechanical drive option on all
Deere-Bauer models.

row, 1720 TR, 1720 16 row, and Deere-Orthman Planters. This expands the model
offering and also includes 1770NT, 1770NT CCS, 1790, and Deere-Bauer Series
Planters. SeedStar XP monitoring is a full-feature, color planting monitor used
in conjunction with the GreenStar™ 2 family of
displays.

| Narrow row cleaner |
| |
|
|
For MY2012 planters, there is a narrow-row cleaner
option available for row spacings as narrow as 20 in. This expands the row
tillage options for the 1730, 1790 24Row20, Deere-Bauer, and Deere- Orthman
Planters.
SharkTooth® wheels are base 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.

| Left hand unload option discontinued |
| |
1720 CCS and non-CCS 16-row planter will no longer offer
option 7300, left-hand unload capability. All planters will be loaded at the
factory to allow unloading from the right side of the
trailer.
