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.
Separate Fertilizer Placement (SFP) Openers
SFP openers provide nutrient placement at a 5 or 7-degree angle, minimizing soil disturbance and enhancing nutrient retention. Interchangeable fertilizer tubes allow easy switching among dry, liquid, or NH3 fertilizers.
