As planting season wraps up, many growers are reflecting on their planter’s performance. If your results left room for improvement, now is the perfect time to consider a John Deere Precision Upgrade Kit.
Why is now a great time? The Early Order Program (EOP) is currently active! This limited-time opportunity lets you bring your existing planter up to the latest technology standards, boosting efficiency and yield potential for the seasons ahead.
What Are John Deere Precision Upgrade Kits?
Precision Upgrade Kits (PUKs) are designed to retrofit your current equipment with the same advanced technology found on brand-new John Deere planters. Whether you’re looking to enhance seed placement, improve emergence, or add in-cab adjustability, these kits offer a cost-effective way to modernize your operation without buying a whole new planter.
Upgrade Options for Every Operation
John Deere offers three main types of precision upgrade kits for planters:
-
Ultimate Retrofit: This is a comprehensive solution that replaces your row units with new technology, giving your planter the same features as the latest models. Options include 5e electric drive, ExactEmerge, individual row hydraulic downforce, and in-cab adjustable row cleaners.
-
Meter-Only Option: New for 2026, this option is available for 2015 and newer planters. It allows you to upgrade to 5e electric drive or ExactEmerge by swapping out just the meters — reducing costs while still delivering a major technology boost.
-
Add-Ons: Enhance your planter’s performance with simple upgrades like frame weight distribution and advanced lighting kits.
