Planting Support From Our Ag Team

A drill that is set up right pays off all season. Our ag technicians can inspect openers, meters and seed delivery during an agriculture off-season inspection, so worn disks and bearings are replaced before planting.

Our Optimization Specialists can help with rate control, section control and field documentation. Genuine John Deere opener blades, seed tubes and bearings are at your Koenig store and on Koenig Marketplace. Schedule service anytime.

John Deere Drill FAQs

What is the difference between a box drill and an air drill?
A box drill carries seed in a seedbox on the drill itself. An air drill meters seed and fertilizer from a separate air cart and blows it to the openers, which suits wider widths and larger acres.

Which John Deere drill is best for no-till?
The 1590 no-till drill is a box drill built for no-till seeding. For larger acres, the N500 Series no-till air drills offer TruSet in-cab downforce adjustment.

Can I see seed blockages from the cab?
Yes. The 730 air disk drill and the N500, H500 and P500/P600 air drills use RelativeFlow blockage monitoring to show seed and fertilizer flow from the cab.

Is there a seeder for a compact tractor?
Yes. The GS40 and GS41 ground seeders mount to the three-point hitch and are ground driven, with a built-in seed rate chart.

How much does a John Deere grain drill cost?
Price depends on the model, width, openers and options. Request a quote on any model page and our team will send current pricing, offers and John Deere Financial options.
