Flat Fold Markers For Deere Planters, Drills
![]() |
"One cylinder on each side folds them out automatically, controlled by a sequencing valve. There's breakaway protection and greasable hinge points. I fitted them with an 18-in. notched blade and a depth band so they make a mark that's easily visible, even in heavy trash," says Howard.
Made from heavy gauge square tubing, Howard says he's been so happy with the performance of his markers that he's started building them for sale. "They mount on most drills, including the Deere 750, and fit Deere row crop planters. We make them in 15 and 20-ft. models. They come complete with sequence valve, cylinders and hoses."
A set of 15-ft. markers sells for $1,500 (Canadian). A set of 20-ft. markers sells for $1,600 (Canadian).
