Description
When you’re in the field and your disc opener starts leaving uneven cuts or won’t penetrate tough soil like it used to, it’s time for a replacement blade. A worn opener means poor seed placement, uneven emergence, and the kind of headaches you don’t need during planting season. This 15-inch heavy-duty disc gets you back to making clean, consistent cuts that set your crop up for success.

Built for Real Farm Work
This opener blade fits all the workhorses in John Deere’s MaxEmerge lineup—the original MaxEmerge, MaxEmerge 2, MaxEmerge Plus, and Pro Series planting units that have been the backbone of corn and bean planting for decades. Whether you’re running a 12-row planter on a family operation or pulling a big folding unit on thousands of acres, this blade handles everything from loose, worked ground to tough no-till conditions.
Made to Last
Farm-grade steel construction means this disc won’t bend or break when you hit rocks or roots. The 3.5mm thickness gives you the cutting edge you need while providing enough material to sharpen multiple times before replacement. Quality bearings and proper heat treating ensure this opener will cut consistently season after season.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward—just remove the old disc, swap over your bearings and hardware, and you’re back in business. Check your opener arm bearings while you have things apart—worn bearings cause premature disc wear. Keep the dust cap tight to keep dirt out of the bearings, and inspect the cutting edge periodically during long planting days.
