Minimize compaction with large flotation tires
Radial tires on the 1745 Planter
The 1745 Planter comes standard with radial flotation tires. Radial flotation tires can run at lower inflation pressures compared to bias tires. The lower inflation pressure allows the tire to squat, which increases the tire’s footprint and reduces the pressure applied to the ground.
- Two VF445/50R22.5 tread lightly
- Inflation pressure of 379.2 kPa (55 psi) when planter has a fertilizer system
- Inflation pressure of 310.3 kPa (45 psi) when planter has a Central Commodity System (CCS™) or is without fertilizer
Plant more ground between fills with the Central Commodity System (CCS™)
Filling the CCS with a pro-box
The CCS adds productivity through increased seed capacity, bulk fill capability, and easy, thorough cleanout.
- The two tanks have a combined capacity of 1,762 L (50 bu) which is 176 L (5 bu) more than a 15-row planter with 106-L (3-bu) hoppers.
- Translucent tanks allow the operator to see the seed level, and bin-level sensors alert the operator when the seed level is low.
- Filling the tanks is convenient due to a central filling location. The staircase and railing provide access to the filling platform between the tanks.
- Two platform lights improve visibility if filling at night.
- The following crops can be planted with CCS: corn, sweet corn, popcorn, cotton, sunflowers, sugar beets, soybeans, and sorghum (milo).
Cleanout is easy since a pro-box can fit under the CCS tanks when the planter is in the lifted position.

Increase versatility by applying liquid or dry fertilizer with a split-row planter
Liquid fertilizer system with frame-mounted fertilizer openers
If you are looking to split-apply your fertilizer, the 1745 Planter offers liquid or dry fertilizer options on all non-bulk fill models, including split-row configurations.
- Liquid fertilizer with single-disk, frame-mounted offset openers or in-furrow placement is available with a storage capacity of 1,136 L (300 gal).
- Dry fertilizer with single-disk, frame-mounted offset openers is available with a storage capacity of 1,200 L (42.4 cu ft).
- Fertilizer application is on the front rank only, with 76.2-cm (30-in.) spacing.
- The fertilizer system is driven by a tire contact drive.

Reduce seed costs and increase corn yield potential with Section Control
Pro-Shaft™ drive with RowCommand™ clutch
Chain drive with RowCommand clutch
Section Control, in conjunction with the RowCommand feature on the planter, improves placement of seed, reduces yield penalties of over or under planting, and reduces operator fatigue. By automatically turning rows on and off, are fewer skips and overlap in the field. The automatic process allows the operator to focus on other aspects of planting, reducing overall stress and fatigue.
- University studies have shown seed savings of 1 to 12 percent, with an average of 4.3 percent.*
- In corn, the study found a 17 percent yield penalty in the double planted area.
- In corn, the study found a 757.6 L/ha (8.7 bu/acre) combine header loss in the double planted area.
- This leads to reduced operator stress and fatigue.

View planter performance with choice of three monitoring systems
ComputerTrak™ 350 monitoring system
Your yield potential is never greater than when you take the seed out of the bag and put it in the ground. A lot can happen between the bag and the furrow, and that’s why John Deere offers three levels of planter monitoring systems, so you can choose what information you want to see in the cab.
- ComputerTrak 350 offers a base monitor that scans the rows to monitor population and spacing.
- SeedStar™ 2 provides a population monitoring bar graph to compare rows across the planter. It can also control the optional row shut-offs.
- SeedStar XP shows you population, seed singulation, seed spacing, downforce information, and ride quality. In addition, you can adjust the optional pneumatic down pressure and the optional row shut-offs from the display.

Maintain planting depth with choice of three downforce options
Pneumatic downforce on 1745 Planter
Overview
Planter row-unit downforce is an important factor to ensure consistent and proper depth control. With too little downforce, planter gauge wheels can lose ground contact and seeds will be planted at a shallow depth. This can result in uneven emergence, which studies have shown can impact yield 5 to 9 percent1. With too much downforce, furrow sidewalls can become smeared and compacted. Compacted sidewalls can result in hatchet roots, where plant roots grow parallel with the furrow but do not branch out between the rows.
Depending on the level of control the producer is looking for, the 1745 Planter offers three levels of downforce.
Adjustable heavy-duty downforce springs
Adjustable heavy-duty downforce springs on 1745 Planter
- Four downforce settings are manually adjusted for each row-unit.
- Rows behind tires can be set on a heavier setting.
- Downforce adjustments will take more time compared to pneumatic downforce systems.
Using set point pneumatic downforce
Watch the following video to better understand setting downforce by manually adjusting the pressure in the air bags.

Benefits
- Adjustable heavy-duty downforce springs provide four settings to match downforce requirements to field conditions: 0 kg (0 lb), 56.7 kg (125 lb), 113.4 kg (250 lb), and 181.4 kg (400 lb). Downforce is manually adjustable row-by-row.
- Manual control of pneumatic downforce provides simple adjustment of the whole planter from the electric compressor mounted on the front mast of the planter. The amount of downforce applied is infinitely adjustable from 6.8 to 181.4 kg (15 to 400 lb). Pneumatic downforce provides more consistent downforce throughout the range of row-unit travel compared to heavy duty downforce springs.
- Integrated control of pneumatic downforce provides simple adjustment of the whole planter conveniently from the tractor cab with the SeedStar™ XP monitoring system. Operators can see gauge wheel margin readings on three rows of the planter and either add or remove air from the pneumatic system to maintain a good level of load (margin) on the gauge wheels. The amount of downforce is infinitely adjustable from 6.8 to 181.4 kg (15 to 400 lb).

- Fill all the pneumatic air bags from one location on the planter.
- It includes simple on/off operation.
- The system has a valve stem which allows filling with shop air for faster fill times or for use as a backup if the compressor stops working.
- Split rows are plumbed on a separate circuit. This allows the air to be released only on the split rows when they need to be locked up for planting on 76.1-cm (30-in.) spacing. Set-point pressure is controlled for all rows when all rows are planting.

SeedStar XP downforce margin page
Understanding margin
Margin is the amount of weight riding on the gauge wheels to ensure proper planting depth and proper firming of furrow sidewalls. It can be calculated as follows:
Margin (A) = weight of row unit (B) + downforce applied (C) – resistance from the soil (D)
SeedStar XP ride quality page
- Integrated downforce comes with an electric compressor and storage tank mounted on the rear of the planter for quick downforce adjustments.
- Downforce is easily adjusted from the display.
- The system has a valve stem which allows filling with shop air as a backup if the compressor stops working.
- The SeedStar XP monitor provides the operator downforce margin readings for the three rows equipped with a gauge wheel load sensor. Margin is essentially a reading of how much weight the gauge wheels are carrying. A positive margin ensures the planter is reaching correct planting depth. A target margin can be set to ensure proper firming of furrow sidewalls. Operators can add or remove air from the downforce system to meet the target margin.
- The SeedStar XP monitor provides the operator row-unit ride quality readings for the three rows equipped with the sensor node. Travel speed and field conditions can affect the amount of row-unit bounce that is experienced. Excessive row-unit bounce or vertical motion can cause problems with meter performance and spacing performance. The operator can slow down or increase downforce pressure to help the ride quality metric.
- Split rows are plumbed on a separate circuit. This allows the air to be released only on the split rows when they need to be locked up for planting on 76.1-cm (30-in.) spacing. Set-point pressure is controlled for all rows when all rows are planting.
Calculating margin with the row-unit
An example could be as follows:
- A – Margin: 45.4 kg (100 lb)
- B – Weight of row-unit: 54.4 kg (120 lb)
- C – Downforce applied: 59 kg (130 lb)
- D – Soil resistance: 68 kg (150 lb)
- A=B+C-D
- 4 kg (100 lb) of margin = 54.4 kg (120 lb) + 59 kg (130 lb) – 68 kg (150 lb)
Soil resistance will vary based on planting speed, planting depth, soil type, and row-unit attachments such as closing wheel pressure setting, coulter setting, and row cleaner setting.
Watch the following video to better understand margin and how to set the correct margin for field conditions.
