Description

When your planter’s gauge wheels aren’t following the ground properly—bouncing around or not maintaining consistent depth control—the problem often comes down to worn pivot points in the walking gauge wheel system. This rocker pivot is the key connection that lets your gauge wheels rock and adjust smoothly as they follow field contours, keeping your seed depth right where it needs to be for even emergence.

What You’re Getting

Direct replacement pivot that restores smooth gauge wheel movement
Durable construction designed to handle the constant pivoting motion of planting
Precision fit eliminates the slop that develops in worn pivots
AgSmart quality that matches OEM performance at a better price

Built for Real Farm Work

This pivot fits the walking gauge wheel systems on John Deere MaxEmerge series planters—from the original MaxEmerge through MaxEmerge Plus, Pro, XP, and MaxEmerge 5 models. It also works on the 1530 and 1535 drill units. These are the planters handling everything from corn and soybeans to specialty crops, where consistent seed placement makes the difference between good stands and great ones.

Made to Last

Pivot points take a beating during planting season—constantly moving as wheels rock over clods, rocks, and changing soil conditions. This replacement is built from quality materials that resist wear and maintain tight tolerances season after season, so your gauge wheels keep doing their job properly.

Installation Notes

This is a straightforward replacement that bolts right into your existing gauge wheel arm assembly. Make sure to check the condition of the pivot bushings while you’re in there—worn bushings can cause premature pivot wear. A little grease on the pivot during installation keeps things moving smoothly from day one.
