Flexible Frame Allows for Consistent Seed 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.
TouchSet™ Depth Control System
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.
Advanced Hose Routing System
The hose routing system is specifically designed to minimize sharp bends and eliminate rub points. This increases hose life and reduces downtime caused by wear in the hoses, ensuring consistent seed and fertilizer delivery to the opener.
