Double-Planting Made Easy

John Deere adds to its DB Series planter lineup with the DB60 Split-Row Planter.


John Deere adds to its DB Series planter lineup with the DB60 Split-Row Planter. The DB60 combines the flexibility to plant one crop at 30" rows and a second crop at 15" rows with the productivity of a bulk-fill planter. The planter configurations include 47-row 15" and 24-row 30" planting capabilities. Long parallel arms stagger the rows so they can be locked up and out of the soil during 30" row planting. The machine is equipped with John Deere’s Central Commodity System (CCS) seed delivery and Pro-Series XP vacuum meters. List price: $235,355 with CCS, SeedStar2 monitoring and ProMax40 flat disks and soybean disks. For more information, contact a John Deere dealer or visit www.johndeere.com/ag.
