John Deere IRHD
Control your existing hydraulic cylinders
Upgrade Benefits
Compatibility Made Simple
This upgrade path is available for all John Deere planters with IRHD, whether it's factory-installed or a performance upgrade. With the 20|20 in the cab, you'll have laid the foundation for the expansion of Precision Planting technology year over year while maintaining your current IRHD system.
Components
Upgrade your System
An enhanced set-up without the headache or cost of replacing your current downforce system.
John Deere IRHD control requires the purchase of a 20|20 monitor, SRMs, weigh pins and associated harnessing. Precision Planting load cells are required to operate IRHD via the 20|20. No additional harnessing needed, with the existing SRM harness plugging directly into IRHD. Purchase of vSet and vDrive is highly recommended for increased planter performance. SpeedTube is an optional add-on providing precise seed placement at twice the speed.
Add-ons
SpeedTube
Take advantage of our high-speed seed delivery system
Plant Smarter, Faster
SpeedTube uses two feeder wheels to pull seeds off of the vSet disk, into a flighted belt, and into the seed trench. The seeds don't bounce in the tube because they are under control, or tumble in the furrow because the seed release is matched to ground speed.
