Description
You know how important proper seed placement is for a good stand, and your closing wheels play a bigger part in that than most folks realize. When your closing wheel spring loses tension or breaks, those wheels can’t maintain the right pressure to seal the seed trench properly. This replacement spring keeps your closing wheels working at the right pressure so you get consistent seed-to-soil contact and better germination.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty coil spring that delivers consistent pressure for reliable seed trench closure
- Proper 3-3/4 inch coil diameter and 7-inch overall length for exact fit and function
- Quality construction that maintains tension through thousands of planting cycles
- Direct replacement design that installs without modifications or guesswork
Built for Real Farm Work
This spring fits a wide range of John Deere planting equipment including the 1700 series planters, DB planters, and both MaxEmerge Pro and XP models. Whether you’re planting corn, soybeans, or other row crops, consistent closing wheel pressure is critical for getting seeds covered at the right depth with good soil contact.
Made to Last
Planter springs take a beating bouncing over clods and rocks all season long. This replacement is built to handle the constant flexing and pressure changes that come with field conditions. The spring steel construction resists fatigue and maintains proper tension season after season.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward – just remove the old spring and install the new one in the same position. Check your closing wheel adjustment while you’re at it to make sure you’re getting the right amount of down pressure. If you’re replacing one spring, it’s often worth checking the others on that row unit since they all get similar wear.
