The narrow seed boot travels behind the shadow of the blade, causing less soil disturbance. When attaching the boot to the shank, the bolt has been replaced with a flag pin. Now the flag pin is the wear point, not the casting, reducing overall maintenance. The seed press wheel is also redesigned; it has a narrow profile, a double-wall bearing, and is made of a flexible material. The quick-change blade feature reduces the time it takes to change each blade, saving time and money. Lastly, the seed tab is UV resistant and profiled similar to the trench. There is also the added option of the serrated closing wheel.</p> <div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/seeding/features_attachment/1895_sfpdrill/wheel_519x667.jpg" alt="#"> </div> </div> <p>ProSeries Openers are in base equipment on&nbsp;all N500 and&nbsp;N500F Separate Fertilizer Placement (SFP), N500C, 1990&nbsp;Central Commodity System (CCS™), and 1590 Air Drills.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The ProSeries Openers:</p> <ul> <li>Work not only in no-till conditions, but also&nbsp;in minimum or reduced-till conditions</li> <li>Provide 51 mm (2 in.) of free travel in the opener before spring down pressure takes over <ul> <li>Benefit:&nbsp;allows the opener to move over uneven ground conditions and minimize the chance of the gauge wheels bulldozing soil in soft or mellow conditions</li> <li>The opener spring travels a maximum of 203-mm (8-in.) up or 150-mm (6-in.) down before the hydraulics react to uneven&nbsp;seedbeds</li> </ul></li> </ul></div></div></div></div><div class="accordion2_component"><div class="accordion2_top"><div class="text-size-medium text-weight-bold">Confidence in rates from row to row with RelativeFlow&amp;trade; Blockage sensing</div><div class="accordion2_icon w-embed"><svg width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 32 32" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M25.3333 15.667V16.3336C25.3333 16.7018 25.0349 17.0003 24.6667 17.0003H17V24.667C17 25.0351 16.7015 25.3336 16.3333 25.3336H15.6667C15.2985 25.3336 15 25.0351 15 24.667V17.0003H7.3333C6.96511 17.0003 6.66663 16.7018 6.66663 16.3336V15.667C6.66663 15.2988 6.96511 15.0003 7.3333 15.0003H15V7.33365C15 6.96546 15.2985 6.66699 15.6667 6.66699H16.3333C16.7015 6.66699 17 6.96546 17 7.33365V15.0003H24.6667C25.0349 15.0003 25.3333 15.2988 25.3333 15.667Z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg></div></div><div style="width: 1118px; height: 0px;" class="accordion2_bottom"><div class="margin-bottom margin-small"><div><div class="seccion-images"></div> <p>With RelativeFlow Blockage sensing, operators can see the flow of both seed and fertilizer from inside the tractor cab.

Downforce can easily be changed by the push of a button as soil conditions vary. Proper downforce is directly related to a consistent seeding depth, which leads to improved even emergence, plant density, and maturity. The range of downforce adjustability begins at 74.8 kg (165 lb) and tops out at 181.4 kg (400 lb).&nbsp;</p> <div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/seeding/air_seeders/truset_screen_gent4_display_n500_450x337.jpg" alt="TruSet screen on Gen 4 display for N500"> <span class="caption">TruSet screen on Gen 4 display for N500</span> </div> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/seeding/air_seeders/truset_screen_gen4_display_n500f_450x337.jpg" alt="TruSet screen on Gen 4 display for N500F"> <span class="caption">TruSet screen on Gen 4 display for N500F</span> </div> </div> <p>Exclusive TruSet downforce control has taken adjustability on no-till John Deere seeding tools to a whole new level.

Cover crops act as a protective shield for the soil, reducing the impact of heavy rains and wind, which in turn minimizes topsoil loss. They improve soil structure by adding organic matter and fostering beneficial soil microorganisms, which enhances nutrient cycling and retention.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Additionally, cover crops can break up compacted soil layers, improving root penetration and water infiltration. By suppressing weeds, they reduce the need for chemical herbicides, leading to more sustainable farming practices. Cover crops also provide beneficial habitat for insects and pollinators, boosting on-farm biodiversity. Furthermore, they can help in sequestering carbon, contributing to climate change mitigation. Overall, integrating cover crops into your farming system can lead to more resilient and productive agricultural landscapes, ultimately enhancing long-term profitability.</p> <h5>What tool works best for you?</h5> <div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="https://salesmanual.deere.com/customer/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/seeding/features_attachment/n500c_air_drill_450x300.jpg" alt="N500C No-Till Air Drill"> <span class="caption">N500C No-Till Air Drill</span> </div> </div> <p>The N500C model machines provide extensive crop compatibility, making them an excellent choice for customers looking to seed multiple crops and crop blends using a single tool.
