Plant with Confidence and Simplicity

When the field is fit, you need a planter that’s easy to run and delivers consistent results. With proven MaxEmerge™ 5 row units, vacuum metering, and practical features like pneumatic downforce and row-cleaner options, this lineup helps you place seed with confidence.

Right-Sized for Real Fields and Real Roads

Not every operation needs the biggest planter - just the right one. From rigid integral frames to stack-fold, pivot-fold, and flex wing-fold designs, these planters are built to fit tighter field shapes, smaller acreages, and narrow transport situations, so moving between fields stays manageable and planting stays efficient.

Planters That Can Grow With You

John Deere has planter options for where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow, setting your operation up with a strong foundation with flexible configurations. Choose row counts, spacings, and hopper sizes that match your operation, with options like variable-rate drive, row cleaners, and downforce choices - so you invest where it matters today and prepare your planter for upgrades tomorrow.
