Upgrade Kits for John Deere MaxEmerge™ Vacuum Meters
The John Deere VacuMeter™ was improved for Model Year 2008 (MY08) Planters, offering more accurate seed singulation and more precise seed spacing and placement. These improvements can help you maximize your yield in corn production.

Planters built after May 1, 2007 come standard from the factory with these improvements. If your planter was built before May 1, 2007, you can take advantage of these great enhancements by purchasing upgrade kits and select parts.

Kits and parts for MaxEmerge XP, MaxEmerge Plus, and MaxEmerge 2 vacuum meters are listed below.

Upgrade Kits for Pro-Series™ XP Vacuum Meters are also available.


MaxEmerge Meter Hub Kit

Part number AA67780 (QTY: 1)

The Flush-Face Seed Tube allows the seed to drop uninterrupted through the tube for more precise spacing. Therefore, it is strongly recommended you upgrade to it as well.
Once a MaxEmerge XP, MaxEmerge Plus, or MaxEmerge 2 vacuum meter is upgraded, your planter is well equipped to give the best performance possible. These upgrades will improve meter performance when using any type of vacuum disk, and are strongly recommended when using the ProMAX 40 Flat Disk.

The ProMAX 40 Flat Disk is rapidly growing in popularity because of the benefits that it offers the operator. It performs very well in crops that are typically difficult to singulate because of inconsistent seed sizes, shapes, or treatments - all of which are becoming common in today's seed market.

The MaxEmerge XP, MaxEmerge Plus, and MacEmerge 2 vacuum meters require the following parts to operate the ProMAX 40:

ProMAX 40 Flat Disk
  • ProMAX 40 Flat Disk

    Part number A52391 (QTY: Two disks per package)

    Note: The flat disk requires the use of a double eliminator and knockout wheel.


MaxEmerge XP, MaxEmerge Plus, or MaxEmerge 2 Double Eliminator Kit
  • MaxEmerge XP, MaxEmerge Plus, or MaxEmerge 2 Double Eliminator Kit

    Part number AA61046 (QTY: Parts for two meters)


ProMAX 40 Flat Disk Knockout Wheel
  • ProMAX 40 Flat Disk Knockout Wheel

    Part number AA37348 (QTY: Parts for two meters)

    This knockout wheel is required when using the ProMAX 40 Flat Disk.

When switching back to a cell-style disk, such as a soybean disk, the double eliminator must be set to the storage, or disengaged position. You'll need to (1) remove the knockout wheel, (2) install a cell-disk scraper.
