P600 opener
The P600 Precision Air Hoe Drill opener provides exceptional agronomic performance across all soil and field conditions. Its double knife design places nutrients right where your crop needs it without compromising safety. The fixed relationship between seed and fertilizer minimizes row-to-row variability, allowing for an even crop at emergence and at harvest. With its maintenance-free pivot point, extended wear knives, and quick-change depth settings, it is also easy to use and economical to maintain.
Larger working widths available, P640,P660 and P680 are CTF compatible
With both 24.4-m and 27.4-m (80-ft and 90-ft) working widths available, the P600 allows you to be more productive than ever before. The P690 is 9 percent more productive than the previous largest offering from John Deere, the P576. In the real world 9 percent means it takes five fewer passes to seed a 64.75-ha (160-acre) field than the P576. The P660 has a 4 percent reduction in trafficked/compacted area compared with the P556.

TruSet™ Home Page on the P600
The John Deere seeding solution gives you the tools to maximize profitability in your operation. Features like RelativeFlow sensors and TruSet provide peace of mind that you did the best job possible when seeding. John Deere Operations Center™ application gives you the full picture of your operation, providing you the power to make informed choices.
TruSet home page on P600s
The P600 comes standard with TruSet, giving customers improved opener pressure controls, better insights into frame and opener performance, while also being easier to use. TruSet is completely integrated into the Gen 4 display, with simple controls in an intuitive screen layout. Operator selectable pressure presets for opener, hitch and wing downforce allow for quick changes when field or soil conditions change for uniform seeding performance.
Exclusive TruSet downforce control has taken adjustability on John Deere seeding tools to a whole new level. Rather than using the traditional foot switch to raise and lower openers, operators can make incremental adjustments conveniently from the Gen 4 display inside the tractor cab. This also saves time and makes it easier to adapt to changing field conditions.
