Description
When you’re planting and the seedbed conditions change from field to field or even within the same field, you need your planter to maintain consistent down pressure on each row unit. This spring handles that job, keeping your opener discs cutting at the right depth while your closing wheels get proper soil contact for good seed-to-soil placement. Without proper down pressure, you’ll get shallow planting in firm soil or too much soil disturbance in soft conditions.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty coil spring designed for the demands of commercial planting operations
- Integrated plug system that keeps debris and moisture out of your row unit
- 4-3/4 inch coil length with 6-1/4 inch overall length for proper compression range
- 3/8 inch bolt thread for secure mounting that won’t work loose during operation
- Direct replacement design that installs without modifications or adapters
Built for Real Farm Work
This spring is built to handle the punishment of planting season on John Deere 7000 and 7100 series planters as well as Kinze row units. Whether you’re planting corn into last year’s bean stubble, putting soybeans into heavy residue, or dealing with varying soil conditions across your operation, this spring maintains the downforce your opener needs for consistent depth control and proper seed placement.
Made to Last
Farm springs take a beating from rocks, stumps, and the constant vibration of field work. This one’s built with quality steel that maintains its spring rate season after season. The coil design provides consistent pressure across the full range of soil conditions, while the integrated plug keeps your row unit clean and functioning properly.
Installation Notes
This is a straightforward replacement that bolts right in place of your original spring. The 3/8 inch threads should go in snug but not overtightened – you want the spring to compress and extend freely. Check your other row unit springs while you’ve got one apart – they often wear at similar rates and replacing them all at once saves time later.
