Seedbox
Three-position combination grain/fertilizer boxSeed boxes have a large capacity for longer intervals between stops for refilling.
Plain grain or combination grain/fertilizer seed boxes are available to match the producer's needs.
The versatile grain/fertilizer box has a three-position divider that can be set for 100 percent grain, 60 percent grain, or 40 percent grain.

Narrow road transport
A fully hydraulic front fold/unfold system makes folding on the 455 Drills, for transport a true one-person operation.
High opener transport clearance allows moving over ditches, railroad crossings, and other trouble spots without worry.
Opener to road clearance:
Units are raised and lowered for transport with standard equipment-lift cylinders:
There are four frame-mounted tires: 11L-15, 10 PR rib implement on all three drill sizes.
Warning lights are in base equipment for improved visibility when transporting.

Drawbar supportDrawbar support is required for 35-ft drills when using a 7800 Tractor.
ComputerTrak 150 monitorFor installing 150, 250, 350, and 450 ComputerTrak monitors and front-fold control console with Deutsch connector or half-width disconnect control console on 1760 and 1770 12N Planters. Includes monitor mounting brackets, cab access, and rear connector mounts. Does not include radar equipment. Radar is required except when using the 150 monitor.

The open-center hydraulic check valve is a pilot-operated check valve which traps oil to opener cylinders, maintaining preset position when tractor valve is neutralized. This check valve is required if drill is to be connected to tractors with open-center hydraulic system. It may also be used with closed center hydraulic systems. If the tractor valve is not neutralized on open-center tractors, damage to tractor will result (heat buildup in the hydraulic system). Kit includes: check valve, pilot line and necessary hydraulic fitting for installation.
Select liftThe select lift kit allows an operator to selectively disengage a complete box and openers, and is ideal when drilling out point rows and headlands.
The control switch is located in the tractor cab, and there is a toggle switch for each box. One master switch is used to override or disengage system. Switches activate solenoids, which reverse oil flow, raising openers out of ground and disengaging clutches.
NOTES:
1. 4WD tractors require one R100373 adapter plate to mount the console and one AN280262 wiring harness to extend the console harness (Parts).
2. On tractors with a two-pin convenience electrical outlet, order one AA37254 (Parts) two-pin to three-pin adapter.
3. On tractors without a convenience electrical outlet, order one AE50549 and one AA37254 (Parts).
4. Compatible with closed-center or pressure-compensated hydraulics. Not compatible with open-center hydraulics.

ComputerTrak 350 
The ComputerTrak 350 monitors use electronic circuitry, radar distance measuring, and a large liquid crystal display to provide sophisticated monitoring with simple operation. Along with this, the ComputerTrak 350 can monitor up to 32 rows simultaneously.
The ComputerTrak 350 monitor solution is available as an optional feature for the following planter and drill models:
| Drawn planters | Integral planters | Drills |
| 1750 Planter Series | 1700 Planter Series | 455 |
| 1760 Planter Series | 1710 Planter Series | 1590 |
| 1760NT Planter Series | 1720 8-Row and 12-Row Planters | |
| 1770 Planter Series | 1730 Planter Series | |
1780 Planter Series |
All other planter configurations will only have SeedStar™ 2 monitoring system available with no option for the ComputerTrak 350 monitoring system.
ComputerTrak 350 features include:
NOTE: ComputerTrak 350 monitors require a radar input. Radar is ordered separately from monitor.
In the event of a radar or radar input failure, the ComputerTrak 350 monitor has the capability to continue with the monitoring of seed flow. If a disk-failed message occurs on this monitor, a set speed, or known as speed-set mode, can be entered to allow continued operation until the radar or radar input error has been resolved.
When in speed-set mode, fast average, area, and speed readouts will not be available. Row-failed messages will occur when seed count drop below two seeds per second. High- and low-population warning messages are also deactivated in this mode.
Also while in speed-set mode, the monitor is going to show fluctuating populations because it assumes the machine is traveling at a constant speed, even though actual populations may remain accurate at slower and faster speeds. Displayed population will only be close to actual populations when actual ground speed matches set speed.
To enter speed-set mode, please follow the following steps:
If power is lost to monitor for any reason, hold the split on/off switch for one second while powering monitor on to re-enter speed-set mode. Previously entered speed is stored in memory and will not have to be re-entered.
NOTE: The speed-set mode is deactivated each time monitor is powered off.
