John Deere 494A & 495A Corn Planters Operator's Manual
This is the Operator's Manual for the John Deere 494A and 495A corn planters, covering setup, planting adjustments, marker operation, attachments, lubrication, and beginning- and end-of-season service across 64 pages. This is the factory document John Deere issued to 494A and 495A owners and is available as an instant digital download.
About the John Deere 494A and 495A
The John Deere 494A and 495A were toolbar-mounted row crop planters produced in the 1960s and 1970s, designed for 4-row corn planting in the standard 38-inch and 40-inch row spacings that dominated Corn Belt farming in that era. The 494A was configured for hill-drop or drill corn planting, while the 495A offered the additional flexibility of hill-drop or drill planting in a single unit without requiring separate attachment changes — the key operational distinction between the two models. Both used John Deere's cell-type metering mechanism, with seed plates that had to be matched to corn seed size (flat, round, or large round) and adjusted for target plant population. The attachment lineup available for the 494A and 495A was extensive, including dry fertilizer hoppers, liquid fertilizer units, trash kickers for minimum-tillage conditions, and multi-row extensions for 6-row and 8-row configurations. The 494A and 495A were also capable of planting soybeans and maize with the appropriate seed plates and population chart settings documented in this manual.
What This Manual Covers
This 64-page manual covers both the 494A and 495A with separate instructions where procedures differ between models. Key sections include:
- Identification & Specifications — model identification views and factory specifications for both planters
- Operation — preparing the tractor and planter; hitching and transporting; marker operation; planting depth adjustment; hill-drop planting (494A); drill planting (494A); hill-drop or drill planting (495A); soybean, maize, and plant population charts
- Attachments — fertilizer and dry fertilizer hopper attachments; insecticide and herbicide attachments; trash kickers and minimum tillage attachment; press wheels, bands, scrapers, and rubber tires; row leveling blades and gauge shoes; double disk furrowers and disk coverers; six-row planting extension and eight-row hitch; beet seed hopper (494A); pea and bean attachment
- Safety, Lubrication & Service — safety guidelines; lubrication points; beginning- and end-of-season service; timing the planter; runner alignment and rockshaft bearings; common planting problems and causes
Why This Manual Matters
- 494A vs. 495A procedures documented separately: The two models handle hill-drop and drill planting differently, and the manual documents each model's specific procedures rather than combining them — essential when operating or setting up a machine you didn't buy new
- Planter timing procedure: Correctly timing the metering mechanism is the single most important setup task for consistent seed spacing — the factory timing procedure documented here is the authoritative reference for both models
- Seed plate and population charts: Corn, soybean, maize, and population chart tables are included with the correct plate selection for each seed type and size — the reference that operators reach for when switching crops or seed varieties
- Troubleshooting common planting problems: Skip patterns, doubles, uneven spacing, and population errors are documented with their causes and corrections — the diagnostic section that's most valuable during planting season when there's no time to guess
- Minimum tillage attachment documentation: Trash kickers and minimum-tillage attachments are covered for operators running reduced-tillage systems, which were becoming common as these planters aged into the conservation tillage era
- Original factory content: This is the manual John Deere issued to 494A and 495A owners, carrying manual code OM-B25384
Manual Code: OM-B25384

One of the best dog toys I’ve found
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
My Great Dane puppy- at 140lbs, loves this!! We had another one that was plastic and it worked ok but this is so much better! Interactive, soft to play with, battery last a long time & he does not get bored with it.
Besides is plush lamb chops, best toy ever bought for him.

Keeps my wild child busy!
Color: Orange
*UPDATE 1/10/26* Does my pup love it? Yes. 5 stars for that. His big thing is just holding it in his mouth though, and laying down with it. Then he will put it down, and as soon as it rolls away he gets up and grabs it again. He definitely requires attention from his humans when it’s turned on…kind of defeats the purpose of why I bought it! He’s a needy boy, that’s for sure, so it’s not the toy’s fault.
Two improvements I’d love to see though, are 1) the ability to turn off that yappy bark. I think my dog is more excited about it moving and not so much the yapping. Not that it’s bad, but my boy doesn’t bark much so I’m used to a quieter household. And 2) when removing the base for powering off, there should be a sensor so it doesn’t keep spinning in the socket, occasionally slipping out and hitting the floor. I worry about it breaking due to this.
This thing arrived today and we couldn’t wait till Christmas to give it to our high play drive Australian Shepherd. It’s been barely above zero for weeks with no end in sight, and I have cold weather asthma so I really try to limit my exposure to the elements. Needless to say, my dog has been B O R E D. He truly craves interactive play with his humans, but last week I bought a cheap r/c cat toy that really caught his attention. So I splurged on this toy and so far, it’s AWESOME. He can’t control himself when the rope starts spinning. He pounces on it and it goes spinning off and around. He keeps picking it up thinking it’ll stop, but it keeps going. After 5 minutes of play he was acting completely gassed, but he just can’t resist it, as he put it down to get a drink of water and it started spinning again. Forget the water, I need that toy! As long as this thing can handle the teeth, slobber, dirt and grime, I’ll be a repeat customer!

My dog loves it...but needs charging four, five times a day. You really need 2 for full-time play
Color: Blue
My dog loves this toy.
The first time she saw it and it started rolling, bounding, and waving the ropes around...she was barking at it, chasing it, grabbing it, jumping all over the place.
There is no other toy she has that she will leave this for.
And...that's part of the problem.
I have to take this away from her three, four, five times a day to recharge it. The charge barely lasts an hour and the toy is dead. And it takes over an hour to charge it all the way up. Which means she plays with it less than it spends charging. That's not ideal.
The product page and manual that comes with the toy says there is a 10-minute play period followed by a 30-minute interval to let the dog cool down...not get overly stimulated.
I have never seen a cool-down period. I don't know if it's because the dog plays with it, shakes it around, tosses it and chases it, etc., etc., etc. constantly...but it just keep going until the battery is dead.
I wish it did have a cool-down period. She likes playing with the ropes and rolling it around herself even after the battery dies, so if there was a cool-down, maybe it wouldn't need to be charged many times a day.
Once it's charged and she sees me putting it back together, she gets very excited and starts jumping up and trying to grab it.
Our corgi reduces most rope toys to threads in a day or less, and this one has held up surprisingly well against her super-chewing habits. The material the ball part is made of is very durable (we have a couple other toys with the same type of shell) and she's chewed on them all a lot without any damage.
The toy keeps her entertained and happy...when it's not on the charger.
I wish it was a good-enough value for the money to be able to justify buying two of them so I could have one charging while she was playing with the other.
=================
I'm adding 1 star, because the company customer service is outstanding. They emailed me about my concerns vis-a-vis the short battery life, and it seemed that they really listened and cared about my input.
I don't know what, if anything, can be done to extend the battery life given that it's spinning some substantial pieces of rope around, but I think they'll do as much as they can.
In the meantime, my dog's love for this toy has not diminished in the least. She still gets very excited when she sees me starting to put it together after it's done charging, and she ignores everything else (sometimes even offers of treats) to play with it.
I have a second one now, and I can almost keep them going full-time, but the few minutes every couple hours when both of them are on the charger is probably good for her anyway...she'd probably be over-stimulated if she had one of these to chase non-stop.
Summary: Great toy, lots of fun, my dog loves it. However, you really need two the way things are right now unless you are okay with your dog being able to play less than half the time.

My German Shepherd loves it!
Color: Blue
My GSD loves this thing! It bounces and the rope thing wiggles and spins. She is supervised while playing with it. The charge lasts about an hour or so. The only thing that is a little annoying is it makes a little barking sound on one of the settings. It screws apart for easy access. So far she's not been able to destroy it but she has opened it so definitely supervise playing time. It rolls around and bounces on the carpet and on the hard floor it jumps a little bit. Can be loud on hard floors. It's a soft rubber kinda texture that is easy to rinse off and clean. Probably best for indoor use or use on decks or patios. Keeps her very engaged and I have a blast watching her and playing with her with this thing!

Not for chewers
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Ok, first off, my dog absolutely loved this toy. Still loves it. However: it only took him two days to utterly destroy the part that made it interactive. The rope fastened to the small interior plastic part that is moved by the rechargeable motor was too soft for him and he chewed it off right at the root, where it attached. This makes the toy immobile. It still makes noise and vibrates, but it no longer leaps and bounces. So now he carries it around while it vibrates inside his jaws and I watch his ears jiggle and make sure he doesn’t eat the whole thing. Please note: this is a medium sized Corgi, not a huge dog like a Rottweiler. There is no way to add a new rope to that interior plastic piece: they are made as an inseparable unit. You have to buy the full replacement set which includes a new cover.
I would recommend this toy for someone whose dog is NOT a chewer. For someone whose dog loves to chase, and is excited by noise. If those pesky squirrels chattering outside really get to him, this toy will be his new favorite. But if your dog likes to chew and has more than two teeth in his mouth, this toy is not a great choice and you should spend your money on something that will last a bit longer. It’s not a good value for the money. I bought this original toy and a replacement cover+rope set, and I’m not going to give him the replacement cover for a long, long time. I can’t afford to replace these every few days! Thankfully he still loves the toy despite the fact that it doesn’t run away from him, and hasn’t tried to eat the foam covering, so it’s just the softness of the rope I am disappointed in. But I’m not going to buy this again and can’t recommend it highly, based on my experience, despite my dog loving it and the joy I get watching his ears shake as he trots around the house holding onto this expensive mouth vibrator.
