The use of John Deere spindle cleaner is recommended over wetting agents due to superior performance, especially under adverse conditions.

Using John Deere spindle cleaner results in:

  • Reduced moistener solution usage
  • Increased productivity due to less time filling tank
  • Drier doors and associated picking parts
  • More efficient doffing
  • Elimination of green stain and sticky spindles
  • Less cleaning of row units
  • Less moistener system maintenance

John Deere Spindle Cleaner Dilution Ratios

The recommended spindle cleaner dilution ratio is 1.5 parts cleaner per 100 parts water. The solution tank capacity is 1363 L (360 gal.). Therefore, a full tank of solution requires 20.45 L (5.4 gal.) spindle cleaner.

A sight gauge on the solution tank shows the approximate amount of solution remaining in the tank. The following chart shows the amount of spindle cleaner and water required to refill the tank based on the solution level. For example: If sight gauge indicates that 946 L (250 gal.) of solution remains in tank, add 6.2 L (1.6 gal.) spindle cleaner and approximately 416 L (110 gal.) water to refill tank.
