The TouchSet™ system allows for precise, in-cab depth control adjustments according to field conditions. Operators can easily match depth changes to achieve optimal yield, minimizing seed depth-related penalties, with a repeatability of +/- 6 mm to preset depth.

The John Deere H500 and H500F Air Hoe Drills, featuring diagonal mainframes and wing flexing, maintain seed depth over uneven terrain and offer a three-year frame warranty due to their proven durability and four times longer life requirement than previous models.

Precise nutrient placement is offered with the Separate Fertilizer Placement (SFP) feature. This allows nutrients to be positioned at an optimal 5- or 7-degree angle minimizing soil disturbance and promoting effective nutrient absorption.
