Performance Upgrade Kits

Not in the market for a new planter? A performance upgrade may make the most sense for your operation. John Deere's performance upgrade kits can turn your current planter into a like-new tool and give you greater productivity without forcing you to upgrade to a new planter.

If you’re looking for improved accuracy and speed, look to the ExactEmerge™ performance upgrade kit with the industry-exclusive BrushBelt delivery system, high-performance vacuum meter, redesigned double eliminator, dual electric motors, and more!


ExactEmerge™ takes accuracy and productivity to new levels

Speed up but maintain control with an ExactEmerge performance upgrade kit from John Deere. This breakthrough solution empowers you to plant accurately at speeds up to 10 mph—without compromising singulation, population, spacing or uniform depth. That means greater yield potential come harvest season by simply upgrading your current planter.

Beyond the exceptional Brush Belt delivery system, the ExactEmerge performance upgrade kit features:

  • BrushBelt™ technology allows for infinite plant spacing and positively controls each seed to the seed trench.
  • The BrushBelt system eliminates seed bounce and roll in the seed trench by matching planting speed.
  • Two independent electric motors per row on the seed bowl and BrushBelt facilitate perfect seed spacing.
  • Electrically controlling each row-unit enables individual row turn compensation and individual row shutoff.

ExactEmerge requires active pneumatic downforce, however most growers are opting for the ultimate in row responsiveness and the greater downforce range with Individual Row Hydraulic Downforce (IRHD).
