A late strike from Stern John salvaged a 1-1 draw for Crystal Palace to boost their chances of avoiding relegation from the Coca-Cola Championship.
Russell Anderson's first goal for three years early on looked to have given Derby the three points they needed to ensure they were mathematically safe.
But Palace were a different proposition in the second half and John struck the bar before levelling five minutes from time to move the Eagles two points above third-bottom Sheffield Wednesday, who play Sheffield United tomorrow, with two matches remaining.
The point for Derby ensured they are eight points above the drop zone and they will definitely be safe if the Owls fail to win on Sunday.
Palace needed to make a positive start to ease their nerves but they were behind after only six minutes.
Rams skipper Robbie Savage delivered an inviting free-kick and centre-half Anderson rose highest to head home his first goal for the club from six yards out.
Derby looked dangerous from set-pieces and Shaun Barker almost joined his fellow central defender Anderson on the scoresheet but his header was turned away for a corner.
Jay McEveley tried his luck from long range but Derby full-back failed to test Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni.
On-loan forward Tomasz Cywka ran at the Palace defence and set up David Martin, but the winger failed to get enough power on his shot and Speroni saved comfortably.
The lively Cywka had a chance of his own on the stroke of half-time but the young Pole's shot was parried away by the agile Speroni.
Palace boss Paul Hart brought on John at half-time to give the Londoners a goal threat but Derby carried on where they left off after the break.
Savage had a chance to double the Rams' lead but his free-kick from a dangerous position floated tamely over the bar.
Neil Danns should have drawn Palace level just before the hour-mark when Sean Scannell crossed into his path but the midfielder headed wide from just six yards out.
The Eagles were more threatening after the break and the experienced John flashed a shot wide from 12 yards out.
Michael Tonge made a better fist of his free-kick than Savage but the former Sheffield United midfielder`s strike from 25 yards out was narrowly wide.
But Palace came close once again 66 minutes in when Johannes Ertl`s long-range strike was also narrowly off target.
Derby were given another warning with 18 minutes remaining when Danny Butterfield picked out John and the striker headed straight at Bywater.
And Bywater produced a fine double save to first deny Darren Ambrose and then John following up as Palace pressed for the equaliser.
John was holding his head once again when his shot beat Bywater but struck the bar with eight minutes remaining.
But the goal finally came five minutes from time when John was on hand to slot home from 12 yards out and it was no more than the visitors deserved.

Gordon's double-double, defense leads No. 6 Arizona to 91-57 rout over Long Beach State
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
TUCSON, Ariz. – Aaron Gordon had 14 points and 10 rebounds, Brandon Ashley added 16 points and No. 6 Arizona rolled over Long Beach State 91-57 on Monday night.
After a so-so opener against Cal Poly, Arizona (2-0) looked more like the team everyone expected, dominating Long Beach State from the opening tip.
Gordon and T.J. McConnell, who had eight assists, got it started and the Wildcats smothered the 49ers defensively all night, holding them to 27 percent shooting.
Gabe York had 14 points and six assists, Nick Johnson added 14 points and Arizona shot 58 percent from the field.
Dan Jennings had 16 points to lead Long Beach State (1-1), which went 5 of 23 from 3-point range.
Arizona came into this season loaded with expectations, largely because of the talented players they added to a strong core — namely Gordon and McConnell.
Gordon came in with the potential, an unfreshman-like frame and work ethic accentuating his athleticism.
McConnell was the known quantity. A transfer from Duquense who sat out last season, he gave the Wildcats an immediate dose of smarts and grit, not to mention everywhere-at-the-same-time defense and the pass-first point guard they had been missing.
Gordon had a solid opener, getting 13 points and 10 rebounds in the win over Cal Poly, and McConnell had six assists, though coach Sean Miller would have liked him to look for his shot more.
Together, they got the rout started against Long Beach State.
McConnell got it rolling by snaring a pass near the baseline and floating an alley-oop pass to Gordon, who threw it down emphatically.
McConnell also set up York for a 3-pointer with an up-fake, while Gordon scored on a putback and an acrobatic reverse.
Gordon also stroked in a 3-pointer, on a feed from McConnell, and a putback at the buzzer for 11 points at halftime. McConnell had seven assists and York hit four 3-pointers for 12 points to help Arizona build a 44-18 halftime lead.
It shouldn't have been much of a surprise.
Long Beach State lost to Arizona 94-72 at the McKale Center last season and has just four returning players this season after coach Don Monson did not invite back three who were expected to be contributors this season.
In rebuilding mode, it was always going to be a tough matchup for the 49ers.
And it was.
Long Beach State missed 12 of its first 13 shots — three on airballs — and was down 10 in the first 7 minutes. The 49ers shot 5 of 35 in the first half, including 1 of 14 from 3-point range, leaving no chance of a comeback.

It's full of stuff, is there any reason to keep the 109GB of stuff it's full of?
This are most likely backups of website contnets from sites that are in the recycle bin. You can remove that files if you dont need the backups anymore.
Yeah, I was doing a backup of most everything, /var/www, etc/, when I got to home/adminispconfig things got really really slow, and I noticed all that stuff.
I'll drop it, my server will be much happier for sure.
There is one thing that you might want to keep, if you have a folder like webmail, squirrelmail or uebimiay in tmp, then dont deletet that as thats the cahe of the webmail client. Sorry that i forgot to mention that in my first answer.
There is, but my mail is hosted elsewhere, so it's not important at all..

NEW YORK, Sept. 13 (UPI) -- The New York City Health Board Thursday approved Mayor Michael Bloomberg's controversial ban on large sugar-filled soft drinks.
The measure, which bans the sale of non-diet soft drinks in greater than 16-ounce containers at restaurants, movie theaters and other locations, is aimed at curbing a citywide obesity trend that mirrors a national one.
It is the first soda ban to be enacted in the United States.
Public health officials lauded the decision.
"No one misses the partially hydrogenated oil or stink of cigarettes Mayor Bloomberg dispatched from New York City restaurants," said Michael F. Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest. "And very few are really going to miss quart-sized soda servings despite the professionally manufactured outrage from soda-industry front groups."
The ban includes more than just non-diet soda, The New York Times said. Also included are presweetened teas and energy drinks. Dairy drinks such as milkshakes are not included, nor are alcoholic beverages. Restaurants with self-serve soda fountains will not be allowed to provide cups larger than 16 ounces to their customers.
One large omission is that only establishments that receive a grade from the city's health department are included in the ban, meaning convenience stores like 7 Eleven with their "Big Gulp" drinks would be exempt from the ban. The same goes for most newsstands and vending machines that sell 20-ounce sodas.
Despite having widespread support in the scientific community, the Times pointed out six in 10 New York City residents opposed the ban in a recent poll.
The law takes effect in six months.

WASHINGTON — The widening war in Mali has opened divisions between the White House and the Pentagon over the danger posed by a mix of Islamist militant groups, some with murky ties to Al Qaeda, that are creating havoc in West Africa.
Although no one is suggesting that the groups pose an imminent threat to the United States, the French military intervention in Mali and a terrorist attack against an international gas complex in neighboring Algeria have prompted sharp Obama administration debate over whether the militants present enough of a risk to U.S. allies or interests to warrant a military response.
Some top Pentagon officials and military officers warn that without more aggressive U.S. action, Mali could become a haven for extremists, akin to Afghanistan before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Militants in Mali, "if left unaddressed, ... will obtain capability to match their intent — that being to extend their reach and control and to attack American interests," Army Gen. Carter Ham, head of the U.S. Africa Command, said in an interview.

I recently took my two teenage sons to a talk by Frank Kravetz, a 90-year-old World War II veteran who survived Hitler's Nuremberg prisons. Frank published his story in a memoir, Eleven Two: One WWII Airman's Story of Capture, Survival and Freedom.
Frank's ordeal began in November 1944 during a bomb-run over Germany. He took his regular position, crammed into the tail of a B-17. The target was Merseberg, a major industrial area. He flew amid an air armada of 500 heavy bombers–each carrying eighteen 250-pound bombs–escorted by 900 fighter planes.
While the Americans were ready for business, so was the Luftwaffe, which set aside every aircraft to defend Merseberg. Frank's plane came under hot pursuit by German fighters. Frank took them on with a twin .50 caliber machine gun. It was a dogfight, and Frank was shot badly. His B-17 was filled with holes. The crew had to bail.
Frank was bleeding profusely. His buddies tried to get a parachute on him, but it opened inside the plane. They wrapped it around him, trying not to cross the chords, and tossed him out. To Frank's great relief, the chute opened. Instantly, the deafening chaos quieted, and Frank floated like on angels' wings.
The tranquility halted with a rude thump as Frank hit the ground and tumbled like a shot jackrabbit. German soldiers seized him.
Thus began "a lousy existence," or, as Frank dubbed it–"Hell's journey." Destination: Stalag 13-D. In the end, Frank's weight dropped to 125 pounds.
Frank's liberation came April 29, 1945, by Gen. Patton's Third Army. For any fan of Patton, Frank's account will bring a lump to your throat: "After the flag was raised, and within a few hours of our troops arriving in camp, Gen. Patton rolled in, sitting high in a command car. His very presence was awe-inspiring. I stood there staring at Gen. Patton, our liberator, appearing larger than life." Thousands of emaciated, ecstatic POWs chanted, "Patton! Patton! Patton!" Some fell to their knees, overcome with emotion. Standing in the car, Patton seized a bullhorn and spoke: "Gentlemen–you're now liberated and under Allied control. … We're going to get you out of here."
Embracing Patton's every word, it finally hit Frank: "I'm going home. I'm really going home!"
As Frank was moved out of his camp en route back home, he had a stop in Rheims, France. There, just as unexpectedly as encountering Patton, he sat in a room with fellow wounded GIs when he looked and suddenly saw Gen. Dwight Eisenhower stroll in. The soldiers jumped to their feet to salute the Supreme Allied Commander. "Sit down, boys," the former Kansas farm-boy humbly said, "I should be standing for you."
Frank eventually got home, first arriving in New York City and then hitchhiking all the way to East Pittsburgh. He unceremoniously arrived at his folks' front door–no trumpets, no dramatic music, no parade. He hugged his mom and dad and sat down. He found his sweetheart, Anne. They've been happily married ever since.
As Frank recently shared his story in a classroom at Grove City College, my two teenage sons were riveted. After his talk, they met Frank, who eagerly shook their hands.
As he did, I was struck by this realization: If my teenage boys live to be Frank's age, they'll live to nearly 2090, roughly 150 years after World War II. They'll be able to tell teenage boys that they shook the hand of a World War II veteran who met Generals Patton and Eisenhower.
That's an amazing thought. It would be like any of us right now meeting an elderly person who met someone who stretched back 150 years to the Civil War, someone who stood in the presence of Ulysses S. Grant or perhaps even Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg.
Gee, when you think about it that way, America doesn't really seem all that old.
I shared that thought with a friend and colleague, Darren Morton. In turn, Darren told me about his late grandfather, born in 1909, who could remember parades as a little boy where Civil War vets were present. After one parade, one of those vets recalled that, when he was a boy, his grandfather took him to meet an elderly vet of the Revolutionary War. "So," Darren told me, "I touched the hand of a man who touched the hand of a Civil War vet who in turn touched the hand of a Revolutionary War vet. We are not a very old country."
Indeed, we're not. Like Darren, like my sons, I encourage everyone to meet these vets before they pass on. Hear their stories. Someday you'll be able to pass on your own story about meeting someone from that old war not-so-long ago.

UK Officials Argue That David Miranda Was, In Fact, A Terrorist
from the oh-really-now? dept
However, last week in court, the UK laid out its case, as presented by Scotland Yard -- and they actually are going to try to claim that Miranda's actions -- carrying some of Snowden's encrypted documents -- is a form of both espionage and terrorism.
Intelligence indicates that Miranda is likely to be involved in espionage activity which has the potential to act against the interests of UK national security," according to the document.Read that again and let it sink in. UK officials are arguing that if you have any material which, if disclosed, might "influence a government," you are, by definition, a terrorist. That makes a very large number of people terrorists. By this definition, basically any whistleblower is a terrorist. Anyone with embarrassing, but factual, information about a government official might be deemed a terrorist as well. Something is very broken if that's considered the actual standard in the law.
"We assess that Miranda is knowingly carrying material the release of which would endanger people's lives," the document continued. "Additionally the disclosure, or threat of disclosure, is designed to influence a government and is made for the purpose of promoting a political or ideological cause. This therefore falls within the definition of terrorism..."

The seed variable-rate drive provides the ultimate planting productivity by utilizing one, two or three hydraulic motors (varies by model) to turn the seeding drive shaft. Hydraulic control of the seeding drive allows for on-the-go seeding rate changes right from the display mounted inside the tractor cab.
Combine this seeding flexibility with the map-based planting option, and seeding rates adjust automatically based on a prescription map.
Single- or dual-motor systems for variable-rate drives are available for all John Deere planters except the 1785 Rigid Frame. Dual- or three-motor drive systems are commonly used on larger (12-row and more) planters and offer the capability of half-width or three-section drive disconnect.
The VRD is available as a factory-installed option for all applicable planter models. Single- or dual-motor systems are available as field-installed attachments for most planter models; however, a three-motor VRD field-installed attachment is not available.
The seed VRD requires the SeedStar™ monitor and a radar input signal. Either tractor or planter radar may be used. Planter radar is ordered separately.
VRD offers the following advantages over common, contact-tire drive systems:
The half-width drive disconnect feature is excellent for the producer concerned with controlling seed costs. This feature helps the operator place seed in the desired area and limit the amount of costly overlapped planting.
The half-width drive disconnect allows the operator to turn off half of the planter at a time for planting end rows, point rows, etc. Variable-rate-equipped planters require two drive motors to utilize the half-width disconnect feature.
With a 1765, 1765NT, and 1775 12-Row Planter, a single switch box is required for planters that are ordered with variable rate drive and half-width disconnect.
For the 1775NT, 1775NT Central Commodity System (CCS™), and 1795 Front-Folding Planters, the half-width drive disconnect switch is contained within the frame control box, conveniently located in the tractor cab. The function easily shuts off the drive for the left or right half of the planter row-unit seed meters.
Three-width drive disconnect is an option on 1725 12-Row Planters and is base equipment on the 1725 16Row30 Planter. This feature is activated by three individual console mounted switches (control box), conveniently located in the tractor cab. The function easily shuts off the planter row-unit seed meters by one-, two-, or three-drive segments independently.
Planter row-unit downforce is an important factor to ensure consistent and proper depth control. The heavy-duty adjustable downforce feature provides up to 181.4 kg (400 lb) of downforce. There are four settings available to allow the operator to choose the amount of downforce required for the condition: 0 kg (0 lb), 56.7 kg (125 lb), 113.4 kg (250 lb), and 181.4 kg (400 lb).Compatibility: 1705, 1715, 1725, 1735, 1755, 1765, 1765NT, 1775 Flex, and 1785
Pneumatic downforce provides convenient, simple adjustment of downforce for the whole planter from one location. The amount of downforce applied is infinitely adjustable from 0 to 181.4 kg (0 to 400 lb). Pneumatic downforce provides more consistent downforce throughout the range of row-unit travel than mechanical spring downforce systems.Features include:
Active downforce control is integrated into SeedStar XP and SeedStar 3HP monitoring systems.
Margin is the amount of weight riding on the depth gauge wheels that ensures desired firming of the seedbed as set by the operator.
Once a target margin has been defined, enter the value into SeedStar XP or SeedStar 3HP and let active downforce do the rest. The system will actively adjust the air pressure in the air bags to maintain a constant margin across the planter. The changes in air pressure will change the amount of downforce placed on the row-unit, compensating and reacting for varying conditions through the field whether it is different tillage practices, soil types, or moisture.
Each row-unit has a single rubber air bag located between the parallel arms. The air bags are hooked in parallel so that air can be added or released from all rows at once from one location.
The individual pneumatic downforce air bag assemblies, air compressor units, and 9.5-mm (3/8-in.) delivery lines are also available as an attachment for field conversion.
An improved compressor is used to charge the pneumatic system. This compressor can be located on the planter frame or in the tractor cab if desired. A gauge at the compressor indicates the amount of downforce being applied.From the factory, integral planter models with pneumatic downforce will have an improved air compressor assembly with an in-cab mounting bracket, except for the 1725 16-row and 1725 Central Commodity System (CCS™ ) twin-row planters, which will have the air compressor assembly mounted on the planter frame. For drawn planter models, the 1755, 1765, 1765NT, 1775 Front-Fold, and 1785 Drawn Planters will have the air compressor assembly installed either on the outer hitch or wing frame members when the pneumatic downforce system is installed.Base equipment on: 1705, 1715, 1725, 1735, 1755, 1765, 1765NT, 1775 and 1785.
The functional features of the integrated system are the same as the standard pneumatic system, explained above, with the addition of control through the GreenStar™ (GS) display.
On 1725 16-row, 1725 Central Commodity System (CCS™) TR, 1775NT, 1775NT CCS, 1795, DR, and DB Series Planter models, the air compressor will be mounted on the outer hitch or frame assembly. Since the air compressor assembly is mounted on the outer hitch (as noted in the picture above) or frame, adjustments for row-unit downforce and related system pressures will be made electronically with the GS display.
When adjusting the amount of row-unit downforce using the GS display, the operator will select the amount of downforce (kg [lb]) to be applied across the planter. Depending on the soil conditions at hand, the operator might need to adjust the relative amount of row-unit downforce being applied during the planting operation. The integrated pneumatic downforce controls within the GS display will only allow for set-point operation and not automatic control as the planter is operating in different soil conditions. The pneumatic downforce system does not have the capability to automatically adjust downforce.
The 1725 16-row, 1725 CCS TR, 1775NT, 1775NT CCS, 1795, DR, and DB Series planters will have onboard air storage to increase the overall response time when making a row-unit down force adjustment from the GS display. The onboard air storage is comprised of a 18.9-L (5-gal.) storage tank with valve assembly.
Base equipment on: 1725 CCS, 1725 16-row, 1725T, 1775NT, 1775NT CCS, 1795, DR, and DB Series Planters with MaxEmerge™ 5 row units. MaxEmerge 5e and ExactEmerge™ equipped planters come with active pneumatic downforce in base.
A hydraulically driven compressor works with the SeedStar™ 3 HP system and SeedStar XP system to automate downforce control. Just set the row-unit target margin value and the active pneumatic downforce system works automatically. The system will make sure the planter maintains this value, achieving precise soil penetration, and consistent planting depth, without sidewall soil compaction. From the factory, the system is set at 45.4 kg (100 lb) target downforce margin, but may be modified for varying field conditions. This frees the operator from constantly making manual downforce adjustments as conditions change.
This system offers a split-rank control feature for 1795 and DB Split-Row Planters. On split row planters active downforce will control the front and rear rows independently. This compensates for differing downforce requirements between the ranks that can be caused by things like different tillage or insecticide attachments and will help maintain an accurate planting depth and consistent margin across all the rows.
Active pneumatic downforce is available as factory installed or as an attachment for field conversion.
Optional equipment on: 1775NT, 1795 and DB models with MaxEmerge™ 5e and ExactEmerge™ row units.
IRHD has been specifically designed to meet the needs of producers that are looking to adjust to the toughest field conditions and provide maximum yield potential from field to field, season after season. IRHD works as a closed-loop downforce system that reacts quickly on an individual row basis to changing soil conditions supporting increased ground contact, which can lead to improved seed depth consistency. When setting planter downforce margin, the system will apply the needed downforce by row to maintain ground contact. From the factory, the margin will be set at 45.4 kg (100 lb), changes may be required based on varying field conditions.The system allows operators to maintain gauge wheel ground contact leading to desired seed depth placement. IRHD can adjust five times per second and make adjustments of 45.4 kg (100 lb) in less than a second. The system has a total range of applied downforce from 22.7 kg (50 lb) to 204.1 kg (450 lb) and utilizes the power beyond circuit on the tractor. IRHD is 58 percent faster than the active pneumatic downforce solution. Fast reaction and increased ground contact can lead to improved emergence. With uniform emergence, some studies have shown a yield impact from 5 percent to 9 percent.IRHD is controlled through the Gen 4 4600 CommandCenter™ display or 4640 Universal Display with SeedStar 4HP. As shown below, operators can view ground contact or applied downforce using the toggle button.
The hydraulically-driven air compressor can deliver up to eight times the air flow, allowing for more and faster downforce changes to be made. This more robust design features a 37.8-L (10-gal.) storage tank across all models with active downforce.At approximately 15.1 L/min (4 gpm), hydraulic demands are low and ties into the machine's lift and CCS hydraulic circuit so it does not require any additional selective control valves (SCVs). The SeedStar XP and SeedStar 3HP monitoring systems work with the compressor and valve assembly to regulate air to downforce springs, enabling the active control.Another feature of John Deere active downforce is the ability for the pneumatic valve to independently control split-rank machines. This system senses the downforce needs from the front and rear ranks separately and independently adjusts air pressures with the dual-rank pneumatic valve when equipped. Active pneumatic downforce requires SeedStar XP or SeedStar 3HP to enable active control.Base equipment on: All MaxEmerge™ 5e and ExactEmerge™ equipped planter models.
Seed variable-rate drive provides the ultimate planting productivity by utilizing one, two, or three hydraulic motors (varies by model) to turn the seeding drive shaft. Hydraulic control of the seeding drive allows for on-the-go seeding rate changes right from the display mounted inside the tractor cab. Combine this seeding flexibility with the map-based planting option, and seeding rates adjust automatically based on the prescribed map.
Variable-rate drive offers the following advantages over common, ground, or contact-tire drive systems:
Single- or dual-motor systems for variable-rate drives are available for all John Deere planters except the 1785 Rigid Frame. Variable-rate drive is available as a factory-installed option for all applicable planter models.Single- or dual-motor systems are available as field-installed attachments for most planter models; however, a three-motor variable-rate drive field-installed attachment is not available.Seed variable-rate drive requires the SeedStar™ monitor and a radar input signal. Either tractor or planter radar may be used. Planter radar is ordered separately.
NOTE: Peanut seed meter disks require the Variable Drive Transmission.
The MaxEmerge family of row-units have never seen a more versatile and efficient design until the MaxEmerge 5. The 5-family row-units improve productivity, increase uptime and lower the cost of ownership like never before.
The MaxEmerge 5 row-unit was designed for improved performance and serviceability.
Serviceability and changing crops has always been a focus of downtime and potential seed loss. MaxEmerge XP row-units (shown on the left) are designed with the meter and hopper as one component. The frame covers the meter so that it cannot be accessed. Cleanout of excess seed requires the operator to take the entire hopper off of the row-unit and to turn it upside down. The MaxEmerge 5 meter (shown on the right) is accessible without having to remove the box. The MaxEmerge 5 design allows large hoppers to be cleaned out the same as mini-hoppers, simply by opening the meter dome and catching the seed as it falls out. This improvement allows operators to change seed varieties easier and three times faster than it took them on the previous MaxEmerge XP units and provides more uptime during the tight planting window.
The vacuum meter system gently pulls and holds individual seeds to the holes of the seed disk for population control and spacing accuracy, equaling better crop stands and profit. Vacuum seed meters can plant a wide variety of crops and seed types by simply changing seed disks and adjusting vacuum level. Vacuum seed meters are available for planters with MaxEmerge 5 row-units.
Additional features of the vacuum seed meter include:
For difficult to singulate seeds, a flat seed disk and double eliminator is a viable alternative to traditional cell-type seed disks. By design, a flat seed disk requires higher levels of vacuum than a cell-type disk because there is no pocket or cell to hold the seed. The higher vacuum level will pull more than one seed to the holes in the seed disk. The double eliminator is set to cover a portion of the hole in the seed disk and is the mechanism to knock multiple seeds away as the disk rotates.
Double eliminators are required with flat-type seed disks only and should not be used with cell-type seed disks. The knockout wheel is also recommended in conjunction with the double eliminator and flat seed disk to ensure seed is ejected from the disk.
Flat and celled type seed metering disks are available to allow planting a wide variety of seed types.
Mini-hopper row-units, which are used only with the Central Commodity System (CCS™) are compatible only with crops that the CCS is approved to plant.
NOTE: Due to small seed size and low planting populations, sugar beets can be planted with mini-hopper style meters by adding hopper extensions and not using the CCS tank. These hopper extensions can also be used for planting test plots.
The MaxEmerge 5 meter shape has also been redesigned for better seed flow. The mini-hopper design allows the planter to successfully operate on side hills up to 14 degrees.
Both the MaxEmerge 5 vacuum meters are equipped with a heavy-duty hub spring and disk latching handle. The spring ensures the seed disk stays properly positioned when operating flat-style seed disks and higher vacuum levels. Proper seed disk positioning means repeatable seed singulation, time after time. The disk-latching handle is designed for easy operation and effortless seed disk changeover. The hub is also machined to tight tolerances to further ensure alignment of metering components.
The vacuum seed meter is capable of operating at faster planting speeds than mechanical meters. However, planting accuracy will be influenced by seedbed conditions and the operating characteristics of the seed meter. Rough seedbeds and fast planting speeds (above 8.9 km/h [5.5 mph]) typically deteriorate seed placement accuracies when using seed tube technology.
The chart illustrates the effect operating speed has on population when using the vacuum meter. The operating band (color area) illustrates how the vacuum meter performs in relation to the desired population (indicated by horizontal line). The width of the band is due to various sizes and shapes of seeds and planting rate variations.
When operating on slopes above 15 degrees, increased or decreased population may result. To minimize this effect, reduce speed and consider using a flat style seed disk with increased vacuum level.
The ProMAX 40 Flat Disk: The flat-disk planting solution field-proven to work since 1991
The design of the ProMAX 40 Flat Disk position allows seed to be released from the optimum position above the seed tube. The flush-face seed tube allows the seed to drop uninterrupted through the tube.
The ProMAX 40 Flat Disk utilizes flat holes and a higher vacuum level to ensure every hole is populated with a seed. A double eliminator gently removes multiple seeds at each hole for precise population control. A knockout wheel makes certain that each hole is clear of any debris after the seed is released from the disk.
The unique cell disk design allows planting a variety of seed sizes without any additional parts or individual meter adjustments. Another advantage of cell-type seed disks is the lower vacuum requirement compared to flat-style seed disks. Lower vacuum levels mean less hydraulic demand from the tractor. Most planting conditions call for a flat disk, if you are limited in hydraulic capacity, cell disks are recommended.
One of the trademark capabilities of John Deere planters has always been the ability of the Tru-Vee™ openers to provide an ideal seed furrow.
The thickness of the Tru-Vee opener blade is 3.5 mm (0.14 in.) this blade thickness will provide extended wear life.
The MaxEmerge 5 row-unit also provides better Tru-Vee opener bearings for longer life. The double-row ball bearing provides up to three times the wear life as the single-row bearing.
Also, to help with meter access of 56-L and 106-L (1.6-bu and 3-bu) hoppers the hopper shutoff feature was added. With the shutoff engaged, the meter cover can be opened without first having to remove all of the seeds from the hopper. Lever down, the seed flow is on, lever horizontal and the seed flow is off.
There are significant changes to the MaxEmerge 5 Mini-Hopper. One update is the straight feed from the Central Commodity System (CCS™) hose to the mini-hopper to ensure a continuous free flow of seeds. This design change reduces the potential for plugging issues with larger seed size and the use of seed treatments. By drawing air from the CCS tank the vacuum source is now cleaner, preventing meter debris buildup.
Ductile iron casting is a unique high-tech process that produces a single-piece row-unit shank this enables alignment from the seed trench to the closing wheel.
The row-unit head is also designed using the ductile iron-casting process. The row-unit head provides the mating joints between the row-unit parallel arms and the row-unit shank. It is also the upper attaching point for the seed meter and seed hopper.
Ductile iron casting of the row-unit shank and head assembly provides a row-unit that is 25 percent stronger than other competitive welded row-units.
Rubber tire closing systems are used for most conventional, minimum-till, and no-till planting conditions. The spacing between the wheels is adjustable so the closing system can meet the needs of those who want to plant small seeds at shallow depths.
The wheels can also be staggered fore and aft to enhance residue flow. Four levels of spring force are available and are easily set with the integrated T-handle adjustment. A lower force spring can be obtained from parts, if a lower amount of force is required.
Additional closing wheel options include:
John Deere planters provide consistent seed depth control in all field conditions. Depth control is a function of the Tru-Vee openers, the downforce system, and the gauge wheel assembly.
The gauge wheel itself is made of durable nylon composition with a concave profile. This profile gently firms the sides of the seed furrow, ensuring a well-defined trench. The shape reduces rocks and residue being picked up and thrown onto the drive chains and row-units, and helps to prevent rooster tailing of soil.
The bolt-through design utilizes an open bearing in the gauge wheel that allows an attaching bolt to pass through the wheel to the threaded hole in the gauge wheel arm. This simple bolt-through design provides for a positive attachment of the gauge wheel to the gauge wheel arm and allows quick removal of the gauge wheel for service.
Adjustability of the row-unit is critical to good performance. More available downforce options than any row unit in the industry
Both the 1765 and 1765NT (narrow transport) feature a rugged 177.8-mmx177.8-mm (7-in. x 7-in.) frame, wheel module lift system, and tire contact drive system. The 12Row30 flexible-frame model feature a two-section, center flexing frame design that flex 20 degrees up and 20 degrees down. The 1765 and 1765NT are recommended for conventional, mulch-till, and most no-till planting conditions.
The 1765 Planter family is available in the following frame configurations including both rigid and flex options:
For 1765 and 1765NT Wing-Fold Planters that are operating less fertilizer, or would require more frame weight for tough soil conditions, additional weight can be added to the center frame. A mounting bracket and six weights add approximately 272.2 kg (600 lb) to the planter. This weight prevents the frame from flexing up in the center when planting.
Use AA41141 ballast bracket and six tractor front end weights. Attach the bracket with seven 19M7597 (M20x50 bolts) and 14M7277 nuts.
The 1765 and 1765NT Wing-Fold Planters have one hitch length available: 373.4 cm (147 in.) for planters used with a dual-wheel-equipped tractor. The long 373.8-cm (147-in.) hitch options are available for all frame widths and can be equipped with either a clevis (code 1457) or ring (code 1456) style hitch link. Order the style of hitch link desired.
Hitches are adjustable, providing three hitch settings to match tractor drawbar height, resulting in level planter operation.
Narrow Transport (NT) planters provide a compact transport width of only 3.7 m (12 ft).
Wing folding of all 1765 Planters is hydraulically-controlled. The independent marker option and hydraulic-fold option are plumbed together using a diverter valve (code 1514) when both options are ordered (reduces selective control valve requirements by one).

8Row30 NT
Both the 1765 and 1765NT Planters can be equipped with a liquid fertilizer system. Eight-row configurations carry two fertilizer tanks totaling 300 gallons of capacity. The 1760 12Row30 model can handle 450 gallons of fertilizer in two tanks.
The use of the single-disk, unit-mounted injection fertilizer opener, or the frame-mounted, single-disk fertilizer opener makes the 1765 and 1765NT no-till capable. The 1765 equipped with the unit-mounted, double-disk fertilizer opener is not well suited for no-till applications and opener penetration may be limited by soil conditions. Frame-mounted, single-disk fertilizer opener is only compatible with 1765NT Planters.
Crop yields have increased through the years along with the amount of residue left in the field after harvest. At the same time, tillage practices have changed, including different tillage operations which maintain large amounts of surface residue, and even no till practices. Row cleaners are an essential tool in managing this increased amount of residue.
John Deere seeding group offers a variety of row cleaner options to meet the needs of a producer's operation. Compatibility varies by model, row spacing, and other planter equipment.
The screw-adjust unit-mounted row cleaner is mounted directly to the face plate of the row-unit, placing the ground engaging components just in front of the row-unit opener blades and depth gauge wheels. This close proximity allows the gauge wheels to control the depth of the row cleaner as well as the row-unit. This compact design also allows greater compatibility with fertilizer openers and other planter attachments.
SharkTooth® wheels are standard equipment on the unit-mounted row cleaner. The swept-tooth design of the wheel provides a clear path for the row-unit openers while resisting residue buildup on the wheel. The screw adjustment knob is accessible through the top of the parallel arms, providing convenient access for adjustments. The row cleaner can be adjusted in 1.6-mm (0.06-in.) increments, providing plenty of flexibility to meet the needs of changing conditions.
The floating row cleaner allows a row cleaner to be used in conjunction with a unit-mounted coulter. This combination is often desired in heavy residue loads and tough reduced tillage planting conditions. The row cleaner provides a clear path for the row-unit, while the unit-mounted coulter helps penetrate tough soil conditions.
Accommodating the unit-mounted coulter means the residue wheels are farther forward from the row-unit face plate than in the case of the screw adjust row cleaner. To maintain performance, this row cleaner has the capability to float above a defined minimum depth.
Standard depth-gauging bands on the wheels allow the row cleaner wheels to float independently of the row unit openers, allowing both to perform in varying terrain. The unit may also be set in a fixed position by simply pinning through the bracket if desired. This row cleaner also features SharkTooth wheels as standard equipment.
The floating row cleaner and unit-mounted coulters are available on many planters as factory-installed equipment. As compatibility and details vary by model, review the following links for information on specific planter models.
SharkTooth is a trademark of Yetter Manufacturing.
NOTE: Screw-adjust row cleaners are not compatible with MaxEmerge™ 5e row-units with long parallel arms.
NOTE: DB models have the option for either unit-mounted coulter, screw-adjust row cleaners, or pneumatic row cleaners (only compatabile with MaxEmerge 5e or equipped ExactEmerge™ models). The DB60T is only available with less row cleaner option.
Integrated innovation--that is what operators will appreciate with the SeedStar 2 monitoring system and GreenStar™ 2 (GS2) Display. An increasing number of acres combined with rising seed costs drive the need to easily understand planter functions and monitor performance. It is all about making every seed count and that is what SeedStar 2 delivers.
The SeedStar 2 monitoring system is a full-feature, color, seed population monitor used in conjunction with the GreenStar family of displays (Generation 4 CommandCenter™ controls with premium activation, GS 2630, GS 2600 Display or the entry-level GS2 1800 Display). Conveniently, SeedStar 2 planting functions are fully integrated with the full spectrum of AMS applications—guidance, coverage maps, and field documentation can be shown all on one display.
When a SeedStar 2 system is used on a planter, there is no need for a ComputerTrak™ monitor. All vital planting information is displayed in one central, easy-to-read location.
SeedStar 2 is a user-friendly system that has retained all the valued features of SeedStar and incorporated the next generation of enhancements. For example, on-screen, color indicators shows drive engagement/disengagement status. In addition, three color (black, orange, or red) planter at a glance bars visually inform the operator of row population status.
Not only does SeedStar 2 incorporate the use of color, it also utilizes an intuitive icon and folder based operator interface. Icons are easy to understand across many languages and reduce the need for text. Icons for planter main run page, planter setup, seed/crop setup, totals, and diagnostics are located in the soft-key region of the display. Setup is performed by selecting the appropriate icon and then choosing the tabs to enter/select information.
The SeedStar 2 monitor offers all of the features and functionality of the ComputerTrak™ 350 monitor and much more. SeedStar 2 monitors the following planter functions:
In addition, planter operational information is available within the SeedStar 2 monitor system. Such operational information includes population charts, seed disk vacuum settings, and setting recommendations for the piston pump liquid fertilizer system.
All SeedStar 2 systems have the capability, through a single controller, to perform both the seed monitoring and variable rate drive functions. SeedStar 2 monitoring is required for VRD population control. Even though the planter may not be equipped with SeedStar 2 VRD, the SeedStar 2 monitoring system is available and will allow for future installation of VRD.
SeedStar 2 retains all those SeedStar features that producers value and have come to expect:
The SeedStar 2 enhanced planter features include:
Controlling input costs and improving productivity are key producer requirements today. RowCommand is an effective, integrated John Deere solution designed to meet these intensifying needs. The RowCommand system manages seed output, reduces yield drag, and improves harvest capabilities on all Pro-Shaft™ driven row-units, and chain-driven MaxEmerge 5.
NOTE: Chain-drive RowCommand is only compatible with planters equipped with pneumatic downforce systems. On planters equipped with the heavy-duty downforce springs, potential chain interference may result and is not recommended.
NOTE: Chain-drive RowCommand requires some modification to brackets in order to function with corn finger pickup meters.
NOTE: Pro-Shaft drive RowCommand is compatible on MaxEmerge 5 row-units with vacuum and corn finger pickup meters. For mini hopper row-units, RowCommand is compatible on vacuum meters only and is not compatible on corn finger pickup meters. Pro-Series XP row-units with corn finger pickup meters are not compatible with RowCommand.
RowCommand controls seed output by incorporating individual, low amperage clutches inside the Pro-Shaft and chain-driven gearboxes. Clutches are completely enclosed within the gearbox housing to protect them from the elements and harsh operating conditions.
When power is supplied, either manually or through John Deere Section Control software, clutches disengage the seed meters and seed flow stops. Controlling seed output at individual rows reduces overplanting in point rows and maximizes seed placement when entering/exiting headlands.
RowCommand is a simple and efficient solution to control individual row planting. This system does not utilize air to operate; therefore, no compressor, air lines, or valve modules are required.
RowCommand utilizes low-voltage controller area network (CAN) messaging to signal power to the desired clutches to stop planting or eliminates power to resume planting.
This means very little power is used in normal planting conditions, and in the event a clutch fails electrically, the meter will continue to plant.
To add RowCommand to a model year 2009 and newer planter model listed above is simple. Pro-Shaft drive attachments for field conversion and chain drive attachments for field conversion are available by planter model to add the appropriate number of clutches, EPMs, brackets, hardware and row-unit harnesses. For complete installation and part detail for the RowCommand conversion, please use the RowCommand compatibility tool per specific planter model. RowCommand is compatible and available for model year 2003 (serial number 700101) to 2008 (725101) planter models listed above. In addition to the attachment for field conversion attachment, a planter mainframe harness, SeedStar 2 controller (wedge box), and additional CAN harnesses are needed.
The RowCommand system requires the following five basic components to operate:
Clutches are protected within the sealed Pro-Shaft and chain-driven gearboxes for years of trouble-free operation and simple installation or removal. RowCommand has true individual-row control of up to 16 clutches or sections for planters larger than 16 rows.
Unique to RowCommand, the 16 available control sections can be configured based on operator preferences. For example, on a 1775 NT 24-Row Planter, every two rows can be paired together for a total of 12 control sections, or control the outermost eight rows individually and the remaining inner rows paired together for 16 control sections.
While SeedStar with RowCommand has 16 control sections, a minimum of 152-cm (60-in.) wide sections are recommended for optimum Swath Control Pro™ solution capabilities. As with other Swath Control Pro products, a SF 2 signal is the minimum level of accuracy recommend for operation.
RowCommand is available as a factory-installed option or as an attachment for field conversion attachments for the following Pro-Shaft drive planter models (see chart below).
In terms of planter compatibility, RowCommand for chain drive is designed for the following planter model configurations equipped with pneumatic downforce systems.
As seen in the picture, chain interference may result when operating chain-drive RowCommand on planters equipped with short and long parallel arms and heavy-duty downforce springs.
NOTE: Chain-drive RowCommand is only compatible with planters equipped with pneumatic downforce systems. On planters equipped with the heavy-duty downforce springs, potential chain interference may result and is not recommended.
Due to the design characteristics of the chain drive RowCommand clutch, some modification to the corn finger pickup meter drive bracket is required. As seen in the picture to the left, some material needs to be removed from the front of the meter drive bracket in order for the chain-drive RowCommand clutch to have sufficient space for installation.
NOTE: Chain drive RowCommand requires some modification to brackets in order to function with corn finger pickup meters.
RowCommand is a simple and efficient means to control individual row planting through the use of low-voltage electric clutches. When activated, each clutch consumes no more than 0.5 amps. By design, power is only supplied to the clutch when a signal is received to stop planting. In a normal planting condition, no power is supplied and the clutch is de-energized.
Power for the RowCommand system is provided from the 9-pin ISO implement connector. All late-model 8X00 and 9X00 Series John Deere Tractors equipped with the 9-pin ISO implement connector are capable of supplying ample power for system operation.
Along with ample system power, a GreenStar display and SeedStar monitoring are required for operation and control interface. The GreenStar display is where system setup, control settings, and manual control functions are performed.
Coupling RowCommand with Swath Control Pro provides the ultimate in precision planting and productivity. One company, one integrated solution are what we offer by incorporating Swath Control Pro capabilities within the SeedStar 2 wedge box (controller). Unlike previous systems, no rate controller, additional harnessing, or components are required to achieve automated individual-row control.
SeedStar 2 monitoring, RowCommand, and Swath Control Pro activation from John Deere Precision Ag Technologies are all that is needed when ordering.
Planter row-unit downforce is an important factor to ensure consistent and proper depth control. Downforce systems are used to keep the planting units from bouncing on rough seedbeds and to improve planter penetration in heavy residue and harder soil conditions. The amount of downforce required is determined by how the planter is equipped and the field conditions in which the planter is used.
Non-adjustable springs can also be used to apply upforce on the row-units. Upforce can be achieved by changing the orientation of the spring on the parallel arms. This upforce can be used to counteract excess
row-unit margin or extra weight cause by seed, tillage, or other attachments on the row-unit. Upforce springs will limit the maximum amount of downforce that can be place on a row-unit by the downforce system and should only be used in conditions were adequate and consistent depth control is easily maintained.
Non-adjustable springs in the upforce or downforce position can also be used to counteract variances in row to row. When used in conjunction with the pneumatic downforce system, non-adjustable springs can be used to provide a more consistent row-unit margin on each row by compensating for inconsistencies such as tire tracks, different row-unit tillage attachments, and other various attachments.
A single set of springs apply approximately 90 lb of upforce / downforce per row. Two sets of springs can be used for 180 lb of force per row.Non-adjustable downforce springs are recommended for use in conventional tilled soil for planting speeds over 5 mph and/or in rough-tilled seedbed conditions. Non-adjustable springs can be used with tillage attachments in lighter, conventional tilled soils. (Not recommended for use with unit- or frame-mounted coulter.)
Adjustable, heavy-duty downforce can be used to apply 0 lb to 400 lb of downforce per row and has four settings: 0 lb, 125 lb, 250 lb, and 400 lb. The adjustable, heavy-duty downforce system can be used in all planting conditions and is compatible with all tillage attachments (recommended with unit-mounted coulter, row cleaners, and unit-mounted double-disk fertilizer openers in conservation planting conditions).
To add half-width row-unit drive disconnect to a planter, order the following attachment.
Allows shutting off half of the planter when planting point rows, headlands, etc., so as not to plant double seed.
NOTE: When added to these planters that have SeedStar™ monitor, BA30921 frame control box is required. This box has the switch to activate the half-width disconnect system.
For MY2009 planters and earlier, a frame/lighting harness needs to be ordered. All planters MY2009 and newer should already have this harness installed. The model-specific harnesses are as follows:
Also, for SeedStar use, the following model-specific harnesses need to be ordered:
The following parts need to be ordered to make BA30922 compatible for the 1760 Planter with ComputerTrak™ monitor:

Achieve accurate and consistent liquid fertilizer rates across the planter with the John Deere block manifold delivery system. Attachments for field conversion (AFC) kits are available by planter model for planters not equipped with this system from the factory.
Refer to the table below for ordering information. Models not listed below do not have an AFC kit available for liquid fertilizer from John Deere; most integral planter frames and Deere-Bauer planters. Source liquid fertilizer components for models not listed in table below through parts.
NOTE: Attachments may or may not contain pump and tanks depending on planter model. Refer to the table to determine what attachments are needed for installing a complete liquid fertilizer system on each model.
NOTE: Attachments contain parts down to the check valve only. Additional fittings will be required for complete installation to a particular fertilizer opener style or in-furrow delivery method. See Parts catalog to source additional fittings needed.
Row unit-mounted double-disk fertilizer openers are available for all John Deere planter models. The unit-mounted design disturbs less soil than frame-mounted openers. A 6-degree blade angle entirely opens the soil for fertilizer placement, and stainless fertilizer tubes and disk scrapers ensure product delivery.
Fertilizer can be placed at seed depth or 1 in. below seed depth with the unit-mounted opener. The opener is positioned 4.45 cm (1-3/4 in.), 5.08 cm (2 in.), or 5.72 cm (2-1/4 in.) off the row and can be mounted to the left or right of seed furrow to balance planter draft.
The unit-mounted double-disk fertilizer opener is recommended for conventional and reduced-till conditions only. This style fertilizer opener is only compatible with the row cleaner attachment identified below. No other unit-mounted tillage attachments are used in conjunction with the unit-mounted double-disk fertilizer opener.
Frame-mounted fertilizer openers are recommended for the following tillage conditions:
Moderate, no-till
Moderate, double crop
Single disk
Double disk
Depending on the model, single-disk or double-disk frame-mounted fertilizer openers options are available to meet a wide range of operating conditions. The single-disk frame-mounted fertilizer opener is the most robust and versatile of the two frame-mounted options.
There are two designs of frame-mounted single disk fertilizer openers available for planters today:
Single-disk fertilizer openers feature a gauge wheel to:
The frame-mounted, single-disk opener has the ability to be locked up in the raised position on 1790 Split-Row Planters. This eliminates excessive wear to the openers when planting soybeans with a 1790 and the openers are not utilized. There are two bundles required for updating 1790 Split-Row Planters. One bundle is used for the center frame section and the other bundle is for wing sections.
The frame-mounted, single-disk opener cannot be locked up in the raised position on 1770NT Planters due to frame tube and opener contact. The steel opener for rigid or folding planters (non-NT) can be raised somewhat by screwing up the spring assembly but cannot be completely raised from the soil.
NOTE: Order number of opener bundles to match number of planter row units, i.e. 4Row 1750 Planter requires four BA91211 double-disk openers or two BA91212 single-disk openers. (The only exception is for front-fold planters. Correct quantity of opener bundles is shown in parenthesis after the bundle number in notes below.)
Low-profile tanks and tank cradles only for use as ballast on 1760 and 1770 12Row30 Planter. Bundles include tanks and cradle only. Additional brackets and hardware are needed to complete the assembly. These parts vary by planter model. Order the needed parts from the table below.
1760 8R30 150 gallon
1760 8Row Wide 150 gallon
1760 12R30 225 gallon
1770 12R30 225 gallon
The covers for the tire rim used on the wheel module prevents rocks and other objects from becoming lodged between the rim/tire and the wheel module frame member. Lodged objects in this area could stop the wheel from rotating or tear out the tire valve stem, causing a flat tire. A U-shaped cutout in the wheel cover allows the tire pressure to be checked without removing the cover.
The wheel cover is not compatible with the SeedStar™ variable-rate-drive option. The wheel that has the motion sensor for the SeedStar variable-rate drive cannot be covered.
Rear-mount bracket permits mounting insecticide band spreader behind closing wheels when only insecticide is used.
Use to convert 1760 Wing-Fold Planter from manual wing-folding system to a hydraulic folding system. Includes hydraulic fold cylinders, linkages, and hoses (less couplers).
Requires separate tractor selective control valve (SCV).
Controlling input costs and improving productivity are key producer requirements today. RowCommand is an effective, integrated John Deere solution designed to meet these intensifying needs.
The RowCommand system manages seed output, reduces yield drag and improves harvest capabilities on select chain-driven MaxEmerge™ XP planters.
NOTE: Chain drive RowCommand requires some modification to brackets in order to function with corn finger pickup meters. Information on the modifications needed is found in the following sales material.
RowCommand controls seed output by incorporating individual, low-amperage clutches inside the chain-drive gearbox. Clutches are completely enclosed within the gearbox housing to protect them from the elements and harsh operating conditions.
When power is supplied, either manually or through Swath Control Pro™, clutches disengage the seed meters and the seed flow stops. Controlling seed output at individual rows reduces overplanting in point rows and maximizes seed placement when entering/exiting headlands.
RowCommand is available as an attachment for field conversion (AFC) for the following chain-drive planter models equipped with pneumatic downforce systems.
RowCommand is also compatible and designed to fit on those model year 2003 to 2008 (serial number range 700101 - 729999) planter models listed above that do not have CAN-based frame control or CAN-based half-width disconnect. For model year 2008 and earlier planters (serial number -729999 and below), the correct AFC bundle along with additional components (planter mainframe monitoring harness, SeedStar 2 controller, CAN adapter harness) are required for RowCommand operation.
For all RowCommand eligible planters equipped with a mechanical transmission, a height sensor is required in order for RowCommand functionality.
As seen in the picture to the left, chain interference may result when operating chain-drive RowCommand on planters equipped with short- and long- parallel arms and heavy-duty downforce springs.
By design, power is only supplied to the clutch when a signal is received to stop planting. In a normal planting condition no power is supplied and the clutch is de-energized.
Power for the RowCommand system is provided from the nine-pin ISO implement connector. All late-model 8X00 and 9X00 Series John Deere Tractors equipped with the nine-pin ISO implement connector are capable of supplying ample power for system operation.
Along with ample system power, a GreenStar™ 2 display and SeedStar™ 2 monitoring is required for operation and control interface. The GreenStar 2 display is where system setup, control settings, and manual control functions are performed.
Due to the design characteristics of the chain drive RowCommand clutch, some modification to the corn finger pickup meter drive bracket is required. As seen in the picture to the left, some material needs to be removed from the front of the meter drive bracket in order for the chain drive RowCommand clutch to have sufficient space for installation.
Controlling input costs and improving productivity are key producer requirements today. RowCommand is an effective, integrated John Deere solution designed to meet these intensifying needs. The RowCommand system manages seed output, reduces yield drag and improves harvest capabilities on all Pro-Shaft™-driven row-units—on both Pro-Series XP and MaxEmerge™ XP planter.
RowCommand controls seed output by incorporating individual, low-amperage clutches inside the Pro-Shaft drive gearbox. Clutches are completely enclosed within the gearbox housing to protect them from the elements and harsh operating conditions.
When power is supplied, either manually or through John Deere Section Control, clutches disengage the seed meters and the seed flow stops. Controlling seed output at individual rows reduces overplanting in point rows and maximizes seed placement when entering/exiting headlands.
RowCommand is available as a factory-installed option or as an attachment for field conversion (AFC) attachment. The RowCommand system is designed for the entire list of planter models as follows.
NOTE: Factory installation of RowCommand will replace one-half or one-third width disconnect clutch components on the planter drive.
RowCommand is also compatible and designed to fit on model year 2003 to 2008 (serial number range 700101 - 729999) planter models listed above that do not have CAN-based frame control or CAN-based half-width disconnect. For model year 2008 and earlier planters (serial number -729999 and below), the correct AFC bundle attachment along with additional components (planter mainframe monitoring harness, SeedStar™ 2 or SeedStar XP controller, CAN adapter harness) are required for RowCommand operation.
NOTE: RowCommand is compatible on MaxEmerge XP row-units with vacuum and corn-finger pickup meters. However, for Pro-Series XP™ row-units, RowCommand is compatible on vacuum meters only and is not compatible on corn-finger pickup meters. There is a select group of planters that might have Pro-Series XP row-units with corn-finger pickup meters in which RowCommand will not be compatible.
RowCommand is a simple and efficient means to control individual row planting through the use of low-voltage electric clutches. Each clutch, when activated, consumes no more than 0.5 amp.
By design, power is only supplied to the clutch when a signal is received to stop planting. In a normal planting condition no power is supplied and the clutch is de-energized.
Along with ample system power, a GreenStar™ 2 Display and SeedStar 2 or SeedStar XP monitoring is required for operation and control interface. The GreenStar 2 Display is where system setup, control settings, and manual control functions are performed.
These items can be ordered to convert planter from plate or plateless meters to vacuum meter system.
The radial bean meter is a mechanical meter to be used in conjunction with the finger pickup meter. Soybeans are the only crop compatible with the radial meter.
Those who are currently using the feed cup or competitive brush meters for soybeans and who desire improved spacing and population control should consider the radial meter.
A seed bowl mounts to the meter housing and rotates around the meter housing, singulating seeds for enhanced spacing.
The seed bowl clearance is adjusted in relationship to the meter housing as seed size is changed. Seeds, ranging from 2000 seeds per lb to 4500 seeds per lb, are planted with the one seed bowl.
Brushes mounted on the meter housing act as doubles eliminators and cleaners for the seed bowl.
Meter utilizes a sprocket-type wheel to better eliminate any beans being stuck in the seed bowl and to offer greater wear characteristics.
Meter component life is at least 650 acres per row, prior to wear appearing, for minimum maintenance.
John Deere active pneumatic downforce makes getting the planting accuracy desired even easier. A hydraulically driven compressor works with the SeedStar™ 3 HP system and SeedStar XP system to automate downforce control. Just set the row-unit target margin value and the active pneumatic downforce system works automatically to make sure the planter maintains this value-achieving precise soil penetration, and consistent planting depth without sidewall soil compaction. This frees the operator from constantly making manual downforce adjustments as conditions change. It also allows the operator to focus on all the other planting factors that drive up yields, like seed singulation and spacing.
This system also offers a split rank control feature for split-row planters. On top of actively controlling the pneumatic downforce system across the planter, John Deere active downforce will control the front and rear rows of split-row planter independently. This compensates for differing downforce requirements between the ranks and will help maintain an accurate planting depth and consistent margin across all the rows.
Single-rank planters such as the 1770NT, 1790 24Row20, and Deere Bauer Planters except for the DB60 47Row15 require a compressor assembly and hydraulic hose kit to complete the field conversion. The 1790 and DB60 47Row15 Split-Row Planters require the compressor with split rank control, hydraulic hose kit, and the PDF hose kit for split rank control. Additional components maybe needed depending on model year.
Designed to improve seed emergence in particularly difficult soil conditions that severely bake and crust after planting. These conditions are found primarily in irrigated cotton planting areas of the southwestern United States.
A seed packer wheel precedes the drag and pushes seed down into the moist soil. Drag brings loose soil into seed furrow without compaction. Without the typical closing compaction, the covering soil acts like a mulch, reducing the tendency to crust for improved seed emergence.
Only for use in fields that are relatively level and free of residue and clods that could cause plugging.
NOTE: Not compatible with leveling chains, tine tooth incorporators, rear-mounted granular insecticide or herbicide attachments, seed packer wheel or insecticide diffusers.
Rubber tire wheels are recommended for most conventional, minimum-till, and no-till planting conditions. Multiple levels of spring force are available, and are easily set with the integrated T-handle adjustment.
Cast-iron wheels are recommended for use in tough soil conditions where additional closing force is required.
The disk closing system is recommended for very shallow planting depths. Two small disks are used to gently firm soil around the seed. These disks are followed by a wide packer wheel to gently pack the soil surface. This system is not recommended for use in high residue applications.
To convert planters equipped with rubber-tire closing wheels to cast-iron closing wheels.
May be used where rubber-tire closing wheels do not adequately close seed trench.
For individual cast wheels only, order AA34350 from Service Parts.
Converts planters equipped with cast-iron closing wheels to rubber-tire closing wheels.
Used in all types of planting conditions.
For individual rubber-tire closing wheels only, order AA39968 from Service Parts.
Limited by their ability to close seed trench in extreme soil conditions.
NOTE: For wheels only, order AA39968 from Parts.
Used in tilled soil to move dry soil away from the planting unit path to plant in moist soil.
NOTE: Cannot be used on row spacing of less than 30 in.
Furrowers are used in conservation tillage conditions to sweep trash and a small volume of soil to the sides to clear a path for the planting unit.
Furrowers have alternating right and left-hand leading blade to assure straight planter draft.
Effectiveness of furrowers is limited by the trash-cutting ability of the attachment.
Available with two 13-in. solid blades or with a notched blade in the leading position. Leading notched blade provides improved cutting action.
The blade mounting bracket is adjustable to change the contact angle for improved sweeping action.
Depth is easily adjustable. Convenient pointer and scale give easy-to-read reference point.
Furrowers are not compatible with unit or frame-mounted coulters.
Drive chain shields are required when using conservation disk furrower with planters that have drive/gauge wheels mounted to the rear. (Not required on 1760, 1770 12Row30 or 1780 Planters.)
Finger pickup meters continue to be a reliable metering system for corn by providing consistent seed spacing and population control in mixed seed varieties. Recent changes to the finger, including shortening and adjusting the angle of the flag on the finger, have further increased the accuracy of our finger pickup seed meter.
NOTE: The size of No. 2 sunflower seed varies considerably among suppliers. When planting the larger size of No. 2 sunflower seeds, as well as the No. 1 seed, BA30041 corn finger pickup meter is recommended. A37177 finger is available to improve performance of finger pickup meter for No. 2 and smaller seed. Finger can be installed in existing holder or a new finger-and-holder assembly (AA31262) can be ordered through Parts.
The feed cup is an economical meter designed for volumetric seed metering. Seeds are not singulated in this style of metering system. Therefore, this type of volumetric meter will not provide the most accurate seed spacing.
Feed cup meter planting accuracy will be influenced by seedbed conditions and the operating characteristics of the seed meter. Rough seedbeds and fast planting speeds typically deteriorate seed placement accuracy.
Feed cups are available for soybeans, edible beans, acid-delinted cotton, and regular or low-rate sorghum.
The single-disk, unit-mounted injection opener is available for many of the integral planter models along with some of the drawn planter models. It is capable of working in all soil conditions. However, it is best suited for no-till conditions in which the double-disk opener has limited residue cutting and penetration capabilities.
This system incorporates a 16-in. 50-flute blade for good cutting and penetration capabilities. The coulter blade runs 2 in. off the seed furrow.
This is an injection fertilizer opener system. The coulter blade opens the soil; a 1/2-in. tube and nozzle assembly injects the fertilizer into the trench. Application rates are 2.4 U.S. gal per acre to 37.6 U.S. gal per acre.
This single-disk opener is not compatible with any other row tillage or row-unit-mounted attachment.
When paired with a unit-mounted coulter, the floating combo row cleaner offers the ultimate solution for managing tough residue and soil conditions. The row cleaner clears the way of debris, and the coulter penetrates tough soil, opening the furrow for the row unit opener blades. The floating ability of the row cleaner allows the unit to adapt to varying terrain independently of the row unit.
The floating row cleaner allows a row cleaner to be used in conjunction with a unit-mounted coulter.This combination is often desired in heavy residue loads and tough reduced tillage planting conditions. The floating row cleaner features the SharkTooth® wheel. The beveled, sharpened edge of the teeth on the SharkTooth aggressively cuts flat and standing residue in the path of the row unit. The curved tooth design sweeps a clear path for the unit mounted coulter and opener blades, and resists residue buildup.
When used with the unit mounted coulter, the wheels are run side-by-side. They may be operated with one wheel forward if desired, by simply relocating the wheels to existing holes on the row cleaner bracket. The wheel bearings of the floating row cleaner are sealed and require no regular maintenance.
Cast aluminum depth gauge bands are standard equipment on the floating row cleaner. These durable bands are mounted directly to the row cleaner wheel, and aid the row cleaner in maintaining a consistent operating depth over varying terrain. The depth gauge bands also add weight to the row cleaner, aiding penetration in tough conditions. The depth gauge bands may be removed if desired.
The floating row cleaner is designed with maximum terrain following flexibility in mind. The pin adjustment has multiple settings available in 1/4-in. increments. The primary method of operating is to limit the maximum depth of operation, and allow the row cleaner to float up when necessary. This is accomplished by placing the adjustment pin below the floating bracket, limiting downward travel, but permitting upward travel.
It is also possible to set the row unit in a manner allowing full float. Simply place the pin in the lowest setting, allowing the depth gauge bands to determine the operating depth up and down. In some conditions, it may be desirable to pin the unit in a fixed position. This may be accomplished by simply pinning through the floating arm, fixing the row cleaner arm to the row unit and allowing the row unit to control operating depth.
SharkTooth® is a U.S.-registered trademark of Yetter Manufacturing.
Not compatible with any row spacing less than 30 inches, except the 1790 Split-Row Planter.
Not compatible with Deere/Bauer or Deere/Orthman planters.
Drive wheel chain shields are recommended for use with row cleaner attachments.
Use of long parallel arms is recommended, but not required, when using the floating row cleaner on 1770 Flex Planters in conjunction with frame-mounted fertilizer openers. Use of long parallel arms on these machines will maximize the distance between the fertilizer openers and the row cleaner, preventing interference and maximizing residue flow.
Other row cleaner designs are available for use without a unit mounted coulter, or for use with unit-mounted double disk fertilizer openers.
Use of row cleaners and unit-mounted coulters is not recommended when surface application pre-plant herbicide is used prior to planting. when using pre-plant incorporated herbicide, the row cleaner should be adjusted to minimize soil disturbance so as not to reduce the effectiveness of the incorporated herbicide.
Designed to offer full flexibility to follow ground contours and effectively mix soil and chemicals. Also levels soil and leaves it loose to further reduce the chance for crusting or erosion.
Tooth angle and penetration are easily adjusted for more or less aggressive action depending on the soil texture.
Permits addition of herbicide to the planting unit already equipped with insecticide for dual insecticide/herbicide applications.
Includes herbicide meter, chemical hopper divider, and rear spreader.
Does not include chemical hopper.
Includes granular insecticide (with components for seed furrow placement and front or rear band spreader capability) plus herbicide with rear-mounted spreader.
Insecticide can be placed ahead of closing wheels (in-furrow or banded) or behind closing wheels (banded). Hopper, hopper divider, drive, and meters are included.
Windshield is available to decrease wind effect on distribution pattern (order separately).
In order to add dry chemical (herbicide) capability to planters equipped with MaxEmerge™ row units, the installation of the dry chemical hopper, meter, drive chains, rear-mounted spreader, and related attachment hardware are needed.
As seen fully assembled in the picture to the left, the herbicide spreader is equipped with a series of baffles that distribute the dry granules on the ground in a band approximately 14 in. wide. Along with the spreader assembly, a windshield is available to decrease the effect wind has on distribution pattern (order BA25340 separately).
Includes hopper, meter and both seed furrow placement and front band spreader components.
Granular chemical meters have a meter wheel for applications of up to 8 oz. per 1000 ft of row. For higher application rates, order the fluted roller for the meter (A50863) from Parts.
When seed furrow placement is used, insecticide is placed in seed furrow with the seed ahead of closing
When band spreader is used, insecticide is placed on ground in a band approximately 7-in. wide ahead or behind closing wheels.
Available with regular or closed-chemical hopper lids.
The in-furrow liquid fertilizer and dry insecticide row-unit attachment kit will be offered as an AFC only. It is compatible with MaxEmerge™ 5 row-units, ExactEmerge™ row-units and older XP row-units with in-furrow fertilizer or with granular insecticide or with both. This attachment is designed to work with the 8-mm liquid in-furrow fertilizer hose and 1.9-cm (3/4-in.) dry insecticide hose. It can be configured in three different ways.
This BA32912 kit is able to be installed to the closing system with the existing hardware using one bolt. This allows for a quick install and the tab on the front of the bracket keeps the orientation. No need to remove the gauge wheels or opener blades. The hose or hoses can be routed through the hole in the shank casting and closing wheel.
The BA32912 kit includes the following hardware and brackets
Other items needed based on number of kits order. Most dealerships already have these supplies stocked.
Applies pre-emerge liquid herbicide behind planting units.
Lower parts of attachment pivot rearward to prevent damage from obstructions such as corn stalks. Easy vertical adjustment permits quick setting of spray band width. Adapters are included to allow using flood tip nozzles for extended coverage. Approximate spray widths are:
Check valves, nozzle bodies, and quick-attach nozzle caps are included for changing tips fast and easy without the use of tools. Also, this attachment for field conversion includes the distribution manifolds and hoses.
This attachment for field conversion does not include nozzle tips and strainers; see SprayMaster™ sprayer parts and accessories. Also, this attachment for field conversion does not include but requires (customer-supplied) tractor-mounted controls, tanks, pump and filters.
The pressure gauge allows monitoring of the liquid pressure in the fertilizer high-pressure manifold. Pressure gauge is compatible with all piston pump applications, both current and noncurrent. By being able to monitor the pressure, the operator will know when there is a plugged orifice or strainer in the system.
NOTE: Not for planters with SeedStarTM monitoring systems.
The following are some operational tips for better performance when using the pressure gauge:

Used to attach pre-emerge spray nozzles behind the planting units. Includes nozzle body but does not include the hoses or nozzle tips.
To adapt 1730 and 1780 Rigid Planters liquid herbicide attachment for 15- through 20-in. row spacing applications.
Improved pneumatic downforce systems are available as a factory-installed option on all planters and as a field conversion bundle for all MaxEmerge™ 5, MaxEmerge XP, MaxEmerge Plus, and MaxEmerge 2 planters. All pneumatic downforce field conversion bundles contain upgraded components to reflect pneumatic system upgrades for model year 2011.
Row-unit downforce is infinitely variable from 0 lb to 400 lb. (0 kg to 181.4 kg). A gauge and/or display provides a reading as to how much downforce the system is providing. The downforce is constant at all times during operation.
On all model year 2011 and newer 1775NT, 1775NT CCS™, 1795, and DB Series Planters, the pneumatic downforce adjustment is displayed within the GreenStar™ 2 Display as base equipment. However, when converting a model year 2010 and older 1770NT, 1770NT CCS, 1790, and DB Series Planter, the air compressor assembly and gauge need to be mounted within the tractor cab, similar to factory-installed pneumatic downforce equipment configurations for that model year.
Each row-unit has a single air bag located between the parallel arms. The air bag is hooked in parallel so air can be added or released from all rows at once from one location. Split-row planters have the corn row-units and soybean rows plumbed separately, so the pressure can be removed from the bean rows when planting corn.
MaxEmerge 2 row-units with long parallel arms must have the arms changed to current production parallel arms. This ensures the correct hole pattern for pneumatic downforce. Refer to the attachment description to order the appropriate bundle for the frame size.
NOTE: Row-units with long parallel arms require A54544 spacer block if not so equipped (Service Parts).
An air compressor, located either in the tractor cab or on the frame, pumps up the system. Integral planter models ordered with pneumatic downforce from the factory have in-cab mounting as base equipment. For drawn planter models, the air compressor assembly is mounted onto the planter frame for model year 2011. Prior to model year 2011, the 1775NT, 1775NT CCS™, 1795, and DB Series Planters have the air compressor mounted within the tractor cab from the factory.
Valves located on the compressor allow bleed-off of the system. Interplant rows are shut off entirely when those rows are locked up.
Field conversion bundles have been established for upgrading pneumatic downforce systems. With the bundle structure, order the individual components for a pneumatic downforce system. There are individual bundles for the air compressor, the row-unit downforce assembly, and a hose kit.
Each planter requires one air-compressor bundle, a number of row-unit downforce assemblies equal to the number of rows on the planter, and a hose kit for each 12 rows being equipped with pneumatic downforce. There are four different row-unit downforce assembly attachments. The selection of the row-unit downforce assemblies is based on the type of meter drive, chain or Pro-Shaft™, and type of parallel arms being utilized, regular or long, on the row-units.
The planter radar is for SeedStarTM and ComputerTrakTM systems. The SeedStar and ComputerTrak 250, 350, and 450 monitor systems require radar.
Includes pointer, scale, and large easy-to-use adjustment knob for convenient adjustment to desired working depth.
Required with tine tooth tillage, conservation furrower, and V-wing attachments when ordered as extra equipment.
1) Not compatible with unit- or frame-mounted coulters or heavy-duty parallel arms.
2) For MaxEmerge™ 2 planters built prior to June 1991, order A52092 cast lower parallel arm.
Recommended for extremely sticky soils where even rotary scrapers have problems keeping Tru-VeeTM disks clean.
Scraper blades are heat treated for added wear.
The screw-adjust, unit-mounted row cleaner is mounted directly to the face plate of the row unit, placing the ground-engaging components just in front of the row unit opener blades and depth gauge wheels. This close proximity allows the gauge wheels to control the depth of the row cleaner as well as the row unit. This compact design also allows greater compatibility with fertilizer openers and other planter attachments.
The unit-mounted row cleaner features the SharkTooth® wheel. The beveled, sharpened edge of the teeth on the SharkTooth aggressively cut tough residue that lies in the path of the row unit. The curved-tooth design sweeps a clear path for the openers and resists residue buildup. The wheels are arranged in a staggered fashion with one wheel leading the other, ensuring complete clearing of the row unit path. The bearing on the SharkTooth wheel is sealed and requires no regular maintenance. Bearing shields are used between the wheel and the mount bracket to prevent residue wrapping and buildup around the bearing housing.
The unit-mounted row cleaner offers a convenient screw adjustment feature for changing the depth setting. The Acme screw is enclosed within the structure of the mounting bracket, providing protection from the elements. The adjustment knob for the screw adjustment is accessible from the top of the parallel arms. The knob can be adjusted by hand, or by using a socket. The adjustment is detented in 1/16-in. increments, allowing for quick, easily repeatable adjustments across all rows of the planter. An indicator rod and scale on the front of the row cleaner bracket indicate the current setting. If a condition is encountered where use of the row cleaner is not desired, it can be set so that the wheels do not engage the soil surface.
Use of row cleaners is not recommended when surface application pre-plant herbicide is used prior to planting. When using pre-plant incorporated herbicide, the row cleaner should be adjusted to minimize soil disturbance so as not to reduce the effectiveness of the incorporated herbicide.
Drive chain shields are recommended for use with row cleaner attachments.
For use when planting cotton in special growing conditions found primarily in southwestern United States.
Some particularly difficult soil types found in these areas are susceptible to severe ''baking and crusting'' if sufficient wind, soil moisture, temperature and sunlight conditions are present. In these situations, it is important to achieve adequate seed/soil contact while minimizing soil surface compaction.
Includes a wheel that runs ahead of the closing wheels to press the cotton seed into the bottom of the furrow.
Using the packer wheel enables the regular closing wheels to be used with a minimum force setting.
Wheels should not be used in the following conditions:
Not compatible with:
Attachments for field conversion are available for complete seed hoppers and lids. Includes plateless and vacuum plastic 1.6 or 3.0 bushel seed hopper and lid. Seed meter, drive, and latch must be ordered separately if needed. These are for MaxEmerge™ XP rows only.
Adapts planter to plant in reduced tillage conditions.
Nodular iron coulter arm mounts directly to planting unit shank to utilize full unit weight for penetration.
Unit gauge wheels provide depth control.
Coulter blade is positioned directly ahead of Tru-Vee™ opener to ensure accurate tillage in seed zone.
Rippled or fluted blades are available to suit a wide range of tillage and soil conditions.
1) Not compatible with tine tooth tillage, furrower attachments, V-wing bed sweep frame-mounted coulter or unit-mounted row cleaner.
2) Ballast attachment (or fertilizer attachment) may be required for penetration.
3) BA28970 or BA28971, heavy-duty adjustable downforce springs or pneumatic downforce system, are required to provide increased coulter penetration in hard soils and also to help keep unit from bouncing when being operated on rough seedbeds. (Not included with BA30078).
4) Requires A52092 cast heavy-duty lower regular parallel arm (one row) or A84382 heavy-duty lower long parallel arm (one row) from Service Parts. Heavy-duty long parallel arm is designed for use only with the unit-mounted coulter (not for tillage tool support bracket). Cast lower parallel arms have been standard equipment for a number of years, confirm what lower parallel arm subject planter is equipped with.
The ComputerTrak 350 monitors use electronic circuitry, radar distance measuring, and a large liquid crystal display to provide sophisticated monitoring with simple operation. Along with this, the ComputerTrak 350 can monitor up to 32 rows simultaneously.
The ComputerTrak 350 monitor solution is available as an optional feature for the following planter and drill models:
1780 Planter Series
All other planter configurations will only have SeedStar™ 2 monitoring system available with no option for the ComputerTrak 350 monitoring system.
ComputerTrak 350 features include:
NOTE: ComputerTrak 350 monitors require a radar input. Radar is ordered separately from monitor.
In the event of a radar or radar input failure, the ComputerTrak 350 monitor has the capability to continue with the monitoring of seed flow. If a disk-failed message occurs on this monitor, a set speed, or known as speed-set mode, can be entered to allow continued operation until the radar or radar input error has been resolved.
When in speed-set mode, fast average, area, and speed readouts will not be available. Row-failed messages will occur when seed count drop below two seeds per second. High- and low-population warning messages are also deactivated in this mode.
Also while in speed-set mode, the monitor is going to show fluctuating populations because it assumes the machine is traveling at a constant speed, even though actual populations may remain accurate at slower and faster speeds. Displayed population will only be close to actual populations when actual ground speed matches set speed.
To enter speed-set mode, please follow the following steps:
If power is lost to monitor for any reason, hold the split on/off switch for one second while powering monitor on to re-enter speed-set mode. Previously entered speed is stored in memory and will not have to be re-entered.
NOTE: The speed-set mode is deactivated each time monitor is powered off.
