2012 John Deere 1790

Description

This used John Deere 1790 split-row planter is configured as a 16/32 row machine on 15/30-inch spacing with a flex-fold frame and two-point hitch, making it a strong match for 8000–8R Series row-crop tractors while still folding for easier transport. It features a central fill system with a central commodity setup using two 50-bushel tanks, vacuum metering with soybean seed disks, and Pro-Shaft drive powering ProSeries XP row units equipped with RowCommand clutches for section control and reduced overlap. Tru-Vee openers with single walking gauge wheels, unit-mounted coulters with 0.63-inch 25-flute blades, cast iron closing wheels, and steel scrapers are all geared toward maintaining consistent depth and seed-to-soil contact in a range of tillage conditions. Pneumatic downforce, regular parallel arms, AccuCount seed tube sensors, and a vacuum level sensor tied into a SeedStar-style monitor system add precision to seed placement and monitoring. Additional equipment includes tri-fold markers with 16-inch notched disks and depth bands, variable-drive seed rate with two hydraulic motors and half-width disconnect, a tire scraper for the metering drive wheel, and full row-command capability, while this machine is set up without fertilizer delivery for a straightforward corn and soybean planting focus.
