Color-coded hydraulic hose handles
These color-coded aluminum hydraulic hose handles make connecting hydraulic hoses from the air seeder and air cart to the correct Selective Control Valve (SCV) on the tractor easier than before. The anti-slip makes it easy to grip the hose and connect or disconnect from the back of the tractor. Each color is laser engraved with the John Deere logo and extend/retract icons to ensure proper matching to the proper function.
Easily identify function of each hose
Consistently match hose handles colors to rear couplers on tractor
Easy to grip for connecting or disconnecting to the SCV
Base equipment on all trailing air carts
Base equipment on all seeding tools
Flexible frame allows for consistent seed depth
Diagonal frame flexibility keeps openers engaged
Producers are more attuned to the importance of seed depth than ever before. A uniform-looking field is not the only goal; yield is too. Proven yield penalties across the world range from 5 percent to 25 percent, depending on depth variance.
The H500 and H500F feature diagonal mainframes and wing flexing – helping openers maintain their depth over uneven terrain.
Side-to-side flexibility demonstrated by H500
The life requirement of these robust machines is four times longer than previous models. That is why the John Deere seeding group has built even more durability into the H500 and H500F Air Hoe Drills.
