John Deere 975

The V-style mainframe is made of 152-mm x 102-mm (6-in. x 4-in.) welded tubular steel to handle the stress of tough plowing and reversing action as well as tight turns:

• 5-mm (3/16-in.) thick on three-bottom plows
• 8-mm (5/16-in.) thick on four- and five-bottom plows

Integral in-furrow hitch

Compatible with tractors equipped with Quik-Coupler, the integral hitch offers unexcelled maneuverability in turns and when parking in tight areas:

• Tractor rockshaft lever controls the raising and lowering of the plow
  • Maximum plowing depth is 356 mm (14 in.)

Adjustable width of cut

The width of cut on all 975 Moldboard Plows can be set at 406 mm or 457 mm (16 in. or 18 in.) by moving the standards to different bolt holes in order to:

• Match the tractor horsepower to the soil conditions
• Improve the residue-handling ability
• Improve productivity
• Maximize fuel efficiency

The underframe clearance is 813 mm (32 in.) to allow excellent material flow through the plow.

• Controls the plowing depth of the rear of the plow in rolling terrain
