New tractor line

New Holland’s new 95-160 pto horsepower TM tractors have higher

horsepower than their predecessors, and new electronic engine

management on the two largest models.

Smart electronic engine management allows engines to increase

horsepower as the engine is lugged down during pto applications.

On the largest models, the TM175 and TM190, optional fully programmable

electro-hydraulics allow the operator to adjust timing and flow to each

of the remotes.

shift transmissions provide automatic shifting in the field and on the

road, as well as a programmable forward-reverse shuttle.

The new Headland Management System on the TM175 and TM190 allows the

operator to program up to three functions, then simply hit “instant

replay” when arriving at the end of the row.

The electronic draft control system lets the operator dial in the right

blend of position and draft needed for automatic linkage control.

The TerraLock system on all TM tractors with front-wheel drive offers

fully automatic front-wheel drive and front and rear differential lock

engagement. This gives full-drive capability through all four wheels

for more positive traction. A semi-automatic system is standard on

two-wheel drive models.

No-till air drills

John Deere has two new no-till air drills, the 1890 and the 1890

Central Commodity System.

The drills are available in 30, 36, 40, and 42.5 feet working widths

and are configured at 7.5 and 10 inch row spacings. A dual row spacing,

factory-installed air kit is also available that allows seeding of

small grains at 7.5 inches and row crops such as soybeans, milo or

sunflowers on 15-inch rows.

The drills come with 90 Series openers featuring a relocated seed boot

to improve depth control, penetration and seed placement.

A residue shield is now included, and improved spring pressure between

the boot and the blade helps to reduce residue buildup.

They feature adjustable and active-hydraulic down force on the openers

to improve penetration for varying soil conditions.

There is a new front caster wheel assembly with bolt-on spindles that

makes it easier to repair and replace spindles.

The 1890 drill is compatible with a tow-between 1910 commodity air cart

in sizes from 195 to 270 bushels, or a tow-behind 1910 cart in sizes

from 195 to 430 bu.

The 1890 CCS no-till air drill features the new Central Commodity

System that offers a central fill metering system, allowing for bulk

seed filling in a 70 or 100 bu. tank and then metering the seed to the

openers on the drill.
