Tires

The correct tires are critical to the overall performance and productivity of an air hoe drill. The 12.5L-15 tire (code 2210 or 2215) brings load-carrying capacity and puncture resistance. For additional capabilities in the following situations, consider optioning up to high-flotation, wide-profile knobby tire option (code 2220): transporting on soft, rural roads; operating in generally wetter, softer field conditions; additional puncture resistance is required. The high-flotation tires (code 2220) provide the best performance in all categories with the exception of tire overlap (pass-to-pass) and replacement tire considerations. The size of the machine will depict whether the mainframe will receive 33×15.5-16.5 or 31×13.5-15 size tires.

The John Deere 1830 feature a simplified hydraulic system due to a common rockshaft design in the lift circuit. Not only does this tie all sections together ensuring consistent depth from mainframe to wing, it also eliminates 50 to 67 %% of the hydraulic cylinders, reducing the chance of hydraulic failure. Common rockshaft design: no rephasing of hydraulic cylinders; fewer hydraulic components and hoses to maintain; seed with confidence that all air hoe drill sections are seeding at the same depth.
