OverviewThe 1725C Planter is a stack-folding integral planter available in 12-row and 16-row configurations. It is offered with multiple row-spacing options, optional Central Commodity System (CCS™) seed delivery, and is compatible with ExactEmerge™ or MaxEmerge™ 5e row units and electric drive options. It features hydraulic wing locks, increased CCS tank capacity, folding staircase, and multiple precision-ag and fertilizer/seed sensing technologies.
Highlights- 12-row: available in 36-, 38-, or 40-in. spacing (no lift-assist wheels)
- 12-row: available in 30 in. spacing (base 12-row 30 in. with base code 355MH)
- 16-row: 30-in. spacing (optional lift-assist wheels)
- Hydraulic wing locks for faster field-to-field transport
- Increased CCS tank from 35- to 55-bushel (1938 L / 55 bu)
- Available with optional ExactEmerge™ or MaxEmerge™ 5e Row Unit
- Folding staircase to prevent damage and improve accessibility
Key Features and Technology- Planter auxiliary camera integrated into SeedStar™ 5 planter Ethernet system; adjustable magnetic mount and configurable video triggers; streams video to CommandCenter™ display.
- Liquid fertilizer level sensors (model year 2026 electric drive planters): display fertilizer tank levels on G5 CommandCenter™ and enable low-level alarms and remote monitoring.
- CCS™ tank level sensors (model year 2026 electric drive planters with CCS): provide seed tank percent and total tank level monitoring in SeedStar™ application and remote viewing.
- ExactShot™ liquid fertilizer dosing system: delivers liquid fertilizer directly onto the seed in-furrow to reduce in-furrow fertilizer usage and increase efficiency; supports dosing and continuous modes.
- ExactEmerge™ trench delivery and BrushBelt™ delivery system: improves seed placement accuracy at higher speeds and reduces seed bounce; self-cleaning toothbrush/brushbelt design; sensors integrated into cartridges provide accurate seed event sensing.
- Electric drive hopper options for non-CCS models: factory-installed hopper options for ExactEmerge or MaxEmerge 5e with hoppers (1.6 bu, 2.7 bu, 3.0 bu) — extends electric-drive agronomics to non-CCS configurations.
- ExactRate™ fluid transfer system: enables easy fluid transfer between ExactRate tractor tanks and planter, designed to avoid pinching lines when folding.
- Integral stack-folding frame: three-section stack-fold frame that can operate rigid or flex (flex up to 8 degrees up/down referenced elsewhere on page); Category 3/4N quick hitch compatibility; vacuum routed through frame for cleaner appearance and better visibility.
- Optional hydraulic wing downforce / gull-wing and automatic hydraulic wing locking for faster folding/unfolding from the tractor controls.
- Active pneumatic downforce base equipment: automates row-unit downforce control for consistent planting depth at speeds up to 16.1 km/h (10 mph).
- Individual Row Hydraulic Downforce (IRHD): closed-loop system that reacts on an individual row basis; fast response (adjusts up to 5x per second), range 22.7 kg (50 lb) to 204.1 kg (450 lb) applied downforce; includes rechargeable accumulators for durability.
- Easy Adjust row cleaners: pneumatic, on-the-go adjustable from the cab; three saved presets per operator; works with SeedStar displays.
- Mobile row-unit runoff: enables diagnostic and meter performance tests from a mobile device for preseason and in-field adjustments; supported for ExactEmerge and MaxEmerge 5e units (software/attachment required for some models).
- Curve compensation: maintains correct population across curved rows by compensating individual row speed differences to reduce population variance on turns.
- SeedStar™ 5 (Model Year 2025+): G5 display paired with Implement Ethernet enabling higher-definition documentation, faster data speeds (5Hz), and support for new technologies such as ExactShot and FurrowVision.
