New 1725C Planter
With added features like our full agronomic suite - ExactEmerge™ and MaxEmerge™ 5e, increased bushel capacity from 35 to 55 and a folding staircase, the updated 1725C Planter offers upgraded performance and convenience. Now available in a 16r30.
ExactRate™ Liquid Fertilizer System
Fertilize as you plant – exactly. ExactRate is our factory-installed integrated solution that matches the capability of our ExactEmerge™ and MaxEmerge™ 5e planters. Plant and apply nutrients up to 10 mph and adjust rates to match your ground speed automatically. Turn compensation improves nutrient placement along curves. Individual row section control and curve compensation make sure you hit the desired rate across the entire field.

Take the narrow road to better results at harvest. The 1745 Planter is a small, split-row planter that's perfect for smaller fields. Its compact design makes it easy to transport on narrow roads.
The 1745 can help you save 4.3% in seed costs* and an extra 10 bushels per acre.** You can pull it with older, smaller tractors, and it pivot-folds in only 40 seconds.

Pair your planter with the best row unit for your needs to improve seed placement, spacing and emergence.
