John Deere has announced the addition of the C1100T to its C-Series air cart lineup, a larger-capacity trailing option designed to help farmers cover more acres between refills and boost productivity during tight seeding windows. The new air cart includes features like AccuRate meters, EZ Cal calibration, and integration with the John Deere Operations Center to enhance precision and efficiency.

Why it matters

Maximizing productivity during the critical seeding season is a key challenge for small grains farmers. The larger capacity and precision features of the C1100T air cart are aimed at enabling farmers to cover more ground in less time, improving their ability to get crops planted within the optimal timeframe.

The details

The C1100T air cart has a larger 105-bushel flex tank compared to other C-Series models, allowing farmers to go longer between refills. It retains the AccuRate meter system, EZ Cal calibration, and precision ag integration of other C-Series carts, providing high-resolution seeding control and monitoring. New features include an EZLift system for easier bulk bag loading and a 12-foot hydraulic conveyor for more efficient seed handling.

What they’re saying

“Small grains farmers are challenged to put their seed in the ground in a small window of time. A larger-capacity cart enables them to cover more acres between refills, maximizing productivity during the crucial seeding window.”

— Anthony Styczinski, John Deere marketing manager for seeders and planters

“Productivity is important during a tight seeding window. Having the ability to calibrate your equipment throughout the day from the cab helps operators monitor changing field conditions to eliminate the worry of under- or over metering. The ActiveCal™ system gives the operator information on how much product is left in the tank and the ability to calculate the number of acres left in each tank.”

The takeaway

The new C1100T air cart from John Deere provides farmers with a larger-capacity option to boost productivity during the critical spring planting season, with enhanced precision features and logistics support to help maximize efficiency and minimize downtime.
