John Deere 1895 No-Till Drill and ProSeries Openers

Highlighted features of John Deere’s new 60-ft. (18.29m) 1895 Seeder include the new ProSeries Openers, RelativeFlow blockage warning system, TruSet in-cab downforce pressure control, and larger, high-floatation tires for less soil compaction.

The seed rows on the new drill are on a 10-inch (25.4 cm) spacing with separate fertilizer rows on 20-inch (50.8 cm) spacing. Both seed and fertilizer rates are controlled by the SectionCommand metering system and powered by an AirPower 2 dual-fan for variable rate and prescription seeding applications.

Operators can control and set downforce pressure from the cab with Deere’s exclusive TruSet control system. TruSet provides uniform and precise seed and fertilizer placement across the toolbar, offering six customizable pre-sets for seed and six pre-sets for fertilizer, or the operator can set dial in their own downforce pressure.

The RelativeFlow Blockage Monitoring System is also offered on the 60-ft. (18.29m) 1895 Seeders. Sensors in the primary tower and on secondary hoses monitor the relative flow rate of both seed and fertilizer across the drill, from opener to opener, displaying information on the cab monitor.

The 1895 Air Drill also has a floating front hitch, wings with 25 degrees of flex, and larger, high-floatation mainframe and wing tires placed inside the high-clearance frame, offering better ground following and drill-to-soil contact.

Along with the 1895 Air Drill, John Deere introduces its new ProSeries Openers. The ProSeries Openers will be available for the first time on the 60-ft. (18.29m) 1895, then expanded to other models in the future. These openers feature a serrated closing wheel option for better seed and fertilizer sealing, narrow and flexible press wheels along with a narrow seed boot for reduced soil disturbance to ensure a more precise seed placement.
