No-till drilling has evolved over the course of the last 50 years, as the practice has been credited to a farmer from North Carolina in 1962. The John Deere 1590 No-Till Drill is a prime example of this evolution. No-till planting provides very effective erosion control and moisture conservation measures, and this John Deere equipment helps farmers place the plant seeds directly into the soil through the residue of a previous crop – all without plowing or disking.
Here are some of the key features of the John Deere 1590 No-Till Drill that will get you excited to start working in the field.
No-Till Openers
The 1590 has no-till openers, which means that it will work in no-till conditions, as well as minimum or reduced-till conditions. Now, operators can work on uneven ground without any issues. Single-disk openers are gang mounted and hydraulically raised and lowered.
Seed Tubes
The John Deere 1590 No-Till Drill has a long, internally smooth seed tube with a molded elbow with adequate support. All of the tubes on the machine are composed of a non-corrosive nylon material, which extends the life of the products.
Large Seedboxes
Seedboxes on the John Deere 1590 No-Till Drill have large capacity, which means that they now have longer intervals in between stops for refilling. The plain grain or combination grain/fertilizer boxes are also designed to match the producer’s needs and crops.
