2018 John Deere 1725 Integral Stack-Fold Base

2018 John Deere 1725 Integral Stack-Fold

Growing the Family

For wide planting but narrow transport, choose the 1725 Stack-fold. With 8-, 12, and 16 row models available, you’ll cover fields in a hurry. But fieldto-field transport won’t slow your pace. Simply fold the wings hydraulically over-center for travel. And, because the seed boxes stay upright during transport, you don’t have to empty the hoppers each time you move. For the 8-row, pick between 36-, 38-, or 40-inch row spacings. Or get 30-inch spacings on the 12- and 16-row.

Features may include

Controlling input costs and improving productivity are key producer requirements today. RowCommand is an effective, integrated John Deere solution designed to meet these intensifying needs. The RowCommand system manages seed output, reduces yield drag, and improves harvest capabilities on all Pro-Shaft™ driven row-units, and chain-driven MaxEmerge 5.

As crop yields have increased over the years, so has 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.

Integrated innovation--that is what operators will appreciate with the SeedStar 2 monitoring system and GreenStar™ 2 (GS2) Display. An increasing number of acres combined with rising seed costs drive the need to easily understand planter functions and monitor performance. It is all about making every seed count and that is what SeedStar 2 delivers. The SeedStar 2 monitoring system is a full-feature, color, seed population monitor used in conjunction with the GS family of displays (GS 2600 or 2630 Display or the entry-level GS2 1800 Display). Conveniently, SeedStar 2 planting functions are fully integrated with the full spectrum of AMS applications—guidance, coverage maps, and field documentation can be shown all on one GS 2600 or 2630 Display.

The MaxEmerge family of row-units have never seen a more versatile and efficient design until the MaxEmerge 5. The 5-family row-units improve productivity, increase uptime and lower the cost of ownership like never before. Producers now have that all-in-one meter and row-unit straight out of the factory with one order, increasing their bottom line. The MaxEmerge 5 row-unit looks distinctively different than previous MaxEmerge products. The changes were not done just for better looks, what was already an industry-leading row-unit in performance and serviceability just got even better. The field-proven designs of both the MaxEmerge XP and Pro-Series XP™ were combined into one interchangeable meter design. Advanced manufacturing technology and world-class testing techniques were used to design a planter row-unit that has increased strength and longer-wearing parts, plus is easier to service, decreasing downtime during the grower’s most crucial season.

Seed variable-rate drive provides the ultimate planting productivity by utilizing one, two, or three hydraulic motors (varies by model) to turn the seeding drive shaft. Hydraulic control of the seeding drive allows for on-the-go seeding rate changes right from the display mounted inside the tractor cab. Combine this seeding flexibility with the map-based planting option, and seeding rates adjust automatically based on the prescribed map.
