Features of this product

• A system for opening the seed trench – most planters use a double disc opener. To be accurate, you want a smooth, consistent slit trench.
• The metering system to singulate seed – nearly all planters use a disc system.
• Accuracy can be affected when the disc fails to hold a seed securely, holds seeds at varying distance from each other or causes delays in the dropping of the seed.
• A seed delivery system – planter designs vary significantly in where the seed tube that delivers seed to the seed trench meets the seed meter. The effect this position has on smooth and consistent movement of seed from meter to trench is one of the most important differences in planter designs and the resulting accuracy of seed spacing.
• A system to set, verify and maintain a particular depth: planting systems vary on how they set and regulate depth.
• Depth control is crucial in many crops in order to achieve maximum yield potential.
• Wear and maintenance items that must be serviced in order to maintain accuracy. As there are many different planter systems, there are also differing wear and maintenance items between planters. When systems become worn, they can affect accuracy ranging from occasional issues to full planter failure.
