Description
When you’re out seeding in the spring, the last thing you want is your drill openers not maintaining proper depth because the depth control mechanism is worn or damaged. This depth control cover (also called a depth gauge plate) keeps your John Deere drill’s seed placement system working like it should, ensuring consistent depth across uneven fields and varying soil conditions. Whether you’re planting wheat, soybeans, or cover crops, proper seeding depth makes the difference between a good stand and a great one.
What You’re Getting
- Direct replacement for worn or damaged depth control covers on your drill opener assembly
- Durable construction that handles rocks, roots, and tough field conditions without cracking
- Precise fit ensures your depth control system maintains accurate seed placement
- Quality materials that resist wear from abrasive soils and constant use
Built for Real Farm Work
This cover fits John Deere grain drills and air drills including models 1560, 1565, 1590, 1690, 1850, 1860, 1890, 1895, and 1990. These are the workhorses that handle everything from small grain seeding in tight rotations to cover crop establishment on thousands of acres. Whether you’re running a smaller operation with a 1560 or covering serious ground with a 1990 air drill, this part keeps your seeding operation running smoothly.
Made to Last
Drill parts take a beating from rocks, stumps, and abrasive soil conditions, and this depth control cover is built to handle it all. The robust design stands up to the constant flexing and impact that comes with seeding operations, while maintaining the precise tolerances needed for accurate depth control season after season.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward – typically involves removing a few bolts to swap out the old cover for the new one. While you’ve got the opener apart, it’s a good time to check your depth springs, seed tubes, and closing wheels for wear. A little preventive maintenance during the off-season saves headaches when you’re trying to get seed in the ground on schedule.
