MOLINE, 111. The John
Deere 730 air disk drill combines
residue handling performance of a
five-bar field cultivator with the
accurate seed placement of
double-disk openers, for one-pass
tilling and seeding in minimum
till conditions.
When teamed with the speed
and capacity of the John Deere
787 air seeding system, the 730 air
disk drill’s 28-, 36-, and 44-foot
working widths provide produc
tive and efficient seeding of small
grains and soybeans.
The 730 uses the first four bars
of the John Deere 980 field culti
vator frame as the mounting
points for new 5/8 x 1-3/4-inch
standards with 135 pounds of trip
force. The 24-inch underframe
clearance and 123-inch fore-aft
clearance promote residue flow
through the machine. The 9-inch
spacing of the standards and a
choice of 10-inch sweeps or
11-inch Tru-Width™ sweeps pro
vide thorough tillage and com
plete undercutting of weeds.
Depending on site require
ments, the 730 can be equipped
with either a double row of harrow
tines to level the seedbed or one
rank of harrow tines and a rolling
basket to break clods and firm the
soil behind the sweeps.
The fifth bar of the 730 is the
mounting point for the double disk
opener rockshaft. The
1/4-inch-offsct double-disk open
ers are set on either 6-inch or
7-1/2-inch row spacing. The open
ers are positioned in a long/short
stagger for increased residue flow.
Exclusive depth-gauging press
wheels are closely coupled for
consistent seed depth, and they
provide depth settings from 0 to
3-1/2 inches in 1/4-inch incre-
