Seed Disk Recommendations

The following seed disk recommendations show a seed size range where optimum performance can be expected with each seed disk. Select a disk which best handles the seed to be planted or best represents the majority of seed sizes to be planted.

IMPORTANT: Consult your local John Deere dealer for the most complete and up to date listing of available seed disks.

If several seed sizes are to be planted and their seed size falls within overlapping areas of two seed disks, it is recommended that BOTH seed disks be ordered to optimize performance to individual seed shape.
