Description

When planting season arrives, there’s nothing more frustrating than having a seed meter that won’t turn consistently or skips because of a worn or stretched drive chain. This little chain might seem insignificant, but it’s what keeps your seed meters rotating at the right speed to drop seeds exactly where they should be. If you’ve noticed uneven plant stands or gaps in your rows, a failing drive chain could be the culprit.

What You’re Getting

Precision-manufactured chain designed specifically for seed meter drive applications
Durable construction that handles the constant starting and stopping of planting operations
Proper pitch and width to ensure accurate seed meter timing and spacing
AgSmart quality that delivers reliable performance season after season

Built for Real Farm Work

This chain is designed to work with John Deere planters where consistent seed metering is critical for crop establishment. Whether you’re planting corn, beans, or other row crops, this drive chain keeps your seed meters running smoothly so every seed gets placed at the right depth and spacing for optimal germination and yield.

Made to Last

Seed meter chains work hard – they’re constantly accelerating and decelerating as you start and stop in the field, deal with varying soil conditions, and handle the vibration from field operations. This chain is built with materials that resist stretch and wear, maintaining proper timing throughout long planting days and multiple seasons of use.

Installation Notes

This is a direct replacement that installs using your existing sprockets and mounting hardware. When installing, check that your chain tensioner is working properly and adjust tension according to your planter manual – too tight causes premature wear, too loose leads to timing issues. It’s also a good time to inspect and lubricate the seed meter drive components while you have access.
