Preparing For The 2014 Planting Season With John Deere Disks

Following a cold winter, crop fields can often feel like concrete, and planting can seem to be months away. However, the reality is, crop producers often times take to the fields starting in March to get the year’s crops in the ground. Before the planting process can begin, the soil needs to be tilled, and with help from the full series of John Deere Disks, tilling any acreage of soil (even when it seems to be hard as a rock) can be accomplished in a stress-free manner.

So, as tillage season is just around the corner, let’s take a look at the various models and a few features of disks offered by John Deere.

670 Single Offset Disks

The 670 features a one-piece welded steel frame with adjustable front and rear gang angles that help deliver results regardless of the soil type.


225 Offset Disk

The 225 includes welded mainframes and triple-sealed ball-type bang bolt bearings deigned for reliability. The adjustable hitch allows operators to position the disks to work directly behind the tractor or offset to either side.



425 Offset Disk

The available 9-or 11-inch spacing on the 425 Disk is perfect for primary tillage in stalks and stubble. The one piece welded mainframe ensures success even in rough conditions.

2620 Three and Five-Section Tandem Disks

Models ranging from 20’9” (perfect for 6R Series tractors) to 49’3” (9R Series Tractor), the 2620 Disk is a great tool for loosening the top 3 to 5 inches of soil. This allows the soil to warm faster and gives the planter an opportunity to place seeds precisely for max. germination.

2623 Three and Five-Section Tandem Disks

Available in the same size ranges as the 2620, the 2623 Disk is a versatile tool that can be used for primary or secondary tillage. This is the ideal disk for growers with light to medium soils, like those located in the Corn Belt and southern states.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
