A closer look at John Deere’s massive C850 Air Cart

The new C850 Air Cart from John Deere was on display at the 2017 Commodity Classic and the Farm News Media team caught up with Tyson Harris, product manager, John Deere.. With a total 850-bushel (30-cu m) capacity, it covers 170 acres (69 ha) per fill with accuracy beyond measure. The C850 delivers 550 lbs. (249.5 kg) of material per acre directly to all eight primary lines, precisely metering product into the primary air stream for greater consistency, more even emergence, more flowering and canopy, and greater yields. Everything is designed to seamlessly work together for easy, smart, precise operation. Ask your John Deere Dealer about pairing the new C850 with our 1870 Air Hoe Drill or the 1890 No-Till Air Drill.
