Follow us as you watch this Giant John Deere DB120 48-row 30" corn planter plant corn in Livingston County, Mi on May 1, 2021. This is the largest 120' wide corn planter on the market today!
COMMENTS: - - Can you imagine how long the line marker would be lol. When my dad was farming in the '80s he planted 4 rows, seeing something 6 rows or larger was a big deal.
I had 2 of these in my area, one near Wateman, IL, the other near Seneca, IL, around 2010, but it didn't last long, big troubles with cracks forming in the frame, so a lot of time wasted.
We use a DB90 36 row 30". The farmer in the neighboring town uses a DB120 48 row 30" and a DB80 32 row 30" as a clearing planter, and we all shoot these beasts in the great hills of northeast Nebraska.
GREAT planter!!! Should this operation reap large acres to warrant needing such a large planter? The only planters I've seen of this size are in western Kentucky, where some operations farm 20,000 acres or more. This planter will do fast work in most fields. Thanks for your hard work, Jeff. I really enjoyed this!!
Nice camera work... wonder what the compression is in the middle rows... noticed it sinking a bit in damp areas... wouldn't want to get stuck that much... buy a blowtorch!
