Individual Row Hydraulic
Every row. Every seed. Every time.
Creating a consistent seed furrow is one of the most impactful drivers for uniform emergence and optimal yields. As ground conditions change from field to field, the IRHD Gen 2 Precision Upgrade Kit helps you instantly adjust downforce settings across each row – so you maintain the ground contact needed to plant every seed at the right place and the right depth, regardless of soil variability, moisture, and tillage practices.
- Adjusts downforce 5x every second for real-time response to changing conditions
- Make adjustments of 100 lbs (45.3 kg) in less than one second
- 58% faster than active pneumatic systems1
- Missing out on uniform emergence can reduce crop yield by 10-18 bu/acre (1,365-2,457 kg/ha)2
- Dual accumulators, pressure sensor, and durable actuator rod for improved serviceability and durability3
- Fully integrated with your John Deere planter and display – no additional displays or harnessing required
Compatible with 1700/05, 1720/25/25C (CCS and non-CCS); 1750/55, 1770/75NT (Flex, CCS, and non-CCS); and 1790/95, model years 2005 and newer; DB44 up to DB90, model years 2012 and newer.

Inside IRHD Gen 2
Dual Accumulators
- To reduce downtime, we built two accumulators into the actuator that can be recharged with nitrogen instead of needing complete replacement.
- These new accumulators also feature components such as pistons and seals that can be easily serviced.
Pressure Sensor
- Pressure control from the actuator ensures optimal system performance by dampening shocks from field obstacles.
- More durable design reduces shock loads and prevents excessive wear and broken row-unit components.
Actuator Rod
- A durable actuator rod and retention feature helps prevent oil loss when rocks or other obstacles damage a row unit.
Fully Integrated
- IRHD is fully integrated with your John Deere planter and display.
- No need for additional displays and harnessing required for third-party systems.
