Drive Chain Release Kit For Max Emerge Planters

Drive chain release kit for max emerge planters PLANTING EQUIPMENT Accessories 9-2-7 There's no telling how many skinned knuckles and greased-up hands the new chain release kit from Jackson-Lee-Pearson, Inc., will help farmers avoid. Inventor Lynn Hufford says it also avoids wear and tear on the planter. "When transporting a Max-Emerge for any distance it's best to disconnect the drive chains but many farmers don't do it because it's not easy to do. It's a heavy chain and there's not much room to work. Often times you scrape your knuckles or pinch your fingers and you always get dirty. With our new release kit it's simply a matter of flipping a handle," says Hufford. The release kit attaches to the drive sprocket. A half-moon shaped release slides in between the chain and the sprocket, suspending the chain so drive components stay at rest during transport. A spring-loaded release quickly flips the handle back down when you switch back to field position. The release kit fits 4, 6, 8, and 12-row Deere Max-Emerge planters, plus front-folding and conservation models. Comes with complete instructions for installation.
