AgLeader SureForce Travel Stop Kit - Kinze Planters

AgLeader SureForce Travel Stop Kits for Kinze & John Deere Planters

Eliminate interference between SureForce actuators and no-till coulters with these precision-engineered travel stop kits from AgLeader. Designed specifically for Kinze 3000/3005 series and John Deere planters, these kits prevent costly contact damage while maintaining reliable planting performance.

Key Benefits

• Prevents contact between no-till coulters and SureForce actuator brackets
• Protects row unit components from damage
• Ensures smoother, more reliable field operation
• Easy integration with existing SureForce systems
• OEM-approved solution referenced in AgLeader documentation

How It Works

These kits install a travel stop that limits the upward movement of the planter row unit. This prevents the no-till coulter from colliding with the SureForce actuator bracket—one of the most common compatibility issues in no-till setups.

Kit Options & Part Numbers

For John Deere Planters

• 4008318 – Hardware Kit: Travel Stop

For Kinze 3000/3005 Pull-Type Planters

• 4008300 – Travel Stop Bracket
  • (Order two per row)

Important:
Kinze pusher rows do not require this kit. The coulter is mounted on the front of the row unit, while the SureForce actuator is mounted on the rear—eliminating interference.

Compatibility

• Kinze 3000 Series Planters
• Kinze 3005 Series Planters
• John Deere Planters with SureForce systems
• Planters equipped with no-till coulters

Installation

Installation instructions are included within official AgLeader actuator install guides:

• Kinze 3000 Pull Actuator Installation
• John Deere Actuator Installation

The SureForce Incompatibilities Knowledge Base also lists these kits as a recommended solution.

Important Considerations

• These travel stops limit upward row unit travel
• If full row unit movement is required, consider:
  • Removing no-till coulters
  • Exploring alternative configurations

Why Choose AgLeader Travel Stop Kits?

When running SureForce in no-till conditions, compatibility issues can lead to downtime and expensive repairs. AgLeader’s travel stop kits provide a simple, proven fix that keeps your planter running efficiently without risking component damage.

(Kinze 3000 Pull Actuator Install Instructions and John Deere Actuator Install Instructions). The SureForce Incompatibilities KB document has also been updated to include these as a solution. These do sacrifice the upward travel of the row unit so if while using you do not want to sacrifice this movement, users will need to either remove the no-till coulter or pursue other options. Either way this these provide a great solution to this issue.
