Description
If you’ve noticed your air drill isn’t maintaining consistent depth across varying field conditions, a worn depth control spring might be the culprit. This compression spring is what keeps your opener units riding at the right depth, applying proper down pressure even when you hit soft spots or harder ground. When these springs start to sag or lose tension, seed placement gets inconsistent—and that’s something you’ll see in your emergence come planting season.
What You’re Getting
- Heavy-duty compression spring built to handle the constant flexing and pressure changes
- Maintains proper down pressure across all soil conditions for consistent seed placement
- Engineered to match OEM specs for optimal performance
- Direct replacement—no modifications needed on your existing depth control system
Built for Real Farm Work
This spring fits a wide range of John Deere air drills that have proven themselves in no-till and minimum till operations. Whether you’re running through corn stubble, working sod ground, or dealing with varying soil moisture across the field, these drills need springs that can keep opener units at the right depth while still allowing them to ride over obstacles.
Made to Last
Air drill springs take a beating—constantly compressing and extending as your opener units follow ground contours. This compression spring is built with the right spring rate and materials to handle thousands of cycles without losing its ability to maintain proper down pressure. It’s designed to work in the dusty, high-vibration environment that air drills operate in.
Good to Know
When replacing these springs, it’s a good idea to check all the springs on your drill at the same time. Uneven spring tension across your opener units can cause uneven depth control. A quick visual inspection will tell you which ones need attention—look for any that appear shorter than the others or show signs of corrosion.
