John Deere Talc formulation

80/20 Talc and Graphite Blend

Posted on

Plain and simple, it has been a long winter season. As the pressure increases to get into the fields this spring, it ‘s easy to rush through setup when filling planters. One step that shouldn’t be skipped, is the addition of talc lubricant.

Talc is specially designed for today’s wide range of seed treatments to enhance seed flow in all weather conditions. It allows consistent seed release from the seed bowl and improves spacing accuracy as the seed is properly lubricated. Talc lubricant is required for optimum performance of the vacuum meter and CCS™ system.

John Deere’s NEW 80/20 Talc and Graphite-Blend minimize gummy deposit buildups caused by seed treatments and high humidity on seed disks and cups. This high-grade product is 97% pure and offers the benefits of seed coating and lubrication for vacuum seed meters.
