Precision Planting is an international company headquartered in Tremont, USA. Their career began with a vision to help growers address their agronomic challenges in precision seeding. The first milestone was the Keeton Seedfirmer, which improves the seed's soil retention in the seed furrow. Today, they continue to passionately advocate for growers who want to challenge the status quo. Retrofit solutions for precision seeding technology, have now been joined by solutions for grain drills, SideDressBars, combines and application technology.

Especially in precision seeding, the optimization of field emergence plays a central role, because late germinators show considerable disadvantages in growth and yield. With the help of our free marking sets, interested farmers can mark the field emergence of their own plants and thus identify differences in development. The knowledge gained from this forms the basis for retrofitting options and opens up new possibilities.

Thanks to the possibility of replacing individual or several components with our retrofit solutions, the performance of an existing machine can be improved. Many of our products measure machine and soil parameters during the pass and can adjust machine settings individually for each row to varying conditions. The diverse product range includes, for example, frame-mounted furrow clearers for residue management, automatic coulter pressure systems for seed furrow formation or a two-part closing system for optimizing soil closure.

Furrow clearer

CleanSweep

Have you ever adjusted the furrow clearers from the cab? Setting your furrow clearers correctly can be time consuming and frustrating. With CleanSweep, you can adjust them from the comfort of your cab, saving valuable time when you're actually seeding. When trying to set furrow clearers correctly, we've all been there: sore knees, bumped heads, frustration. This is often followed by giving up and hoping that the existing setting will already fit.

More uniform field emergence

When it comes to seed germination, sufficient is not good enough. Any seed surrounded by residue germinates later, has delayed field emergence and costs yield. Properly adjusted furrow clearers remove surface residue so it does not enter the furrow. Using air cylinders, you can adjust your furrow clearers from the driver's seat, allowing you to react while driving. You have the option of pressurizing the cylinder (heavy soils) or lifting it out (light soils). All without getting out of the car. With CleanSweep, you eliminate frustration, save valuable time and improve field emergence.

Reveal Furrow clearers mounted on the row unit affect smooth running and coulter pressure. Reveal is mounted directly on the frame of the precision drill, which prevents the row unit from "bouncing". Consistent backlog management

Furrow clearers mounted on the row unit impair smooth running and coulter pressure. coulter pressure. Reveal is mounted directly on the frame of the precision drill, which prevents the row unit from "bouncing". The internal depth guide roller ensures ideal ground adaptation of the clearing discs and thus enables a consistently clean seed furrow. This is the prerequisite for uniform field emergence. Conventional furrow clearers can, under certain circumstances, lead to lifting of the row unit. This results in seed placement that is too shallow and delayed germination. Reveal is an autonomously operating clearing system that cleanly removes crop residues or stones without interfering with the operation of the row unit.

Avoid jumping row units

The working depth of ordinary floating furrow clearers is determined externally by depth control rollers, hole patterns and tension springs. In unfavorable conditions, the furrow is not cleared optimally. Reveal is equipped with a trailing depth control roller and clearing discs. The working depth can be adjusted individually. In this way, the operator can first adjust the pressure of the depth guide roller to the ground and then the depth of the clearing discs. This unique system provides outstanding cleaning performance. With Reveal, you can easily clear crop residues from the seed horizon. Without affecting the smooth running of the row unit.

Seed Firmer

Smart Firmer Do you know the conditions in the seed furrow?

Digging a few seeds will not give you an overall idea of whether your depth setting is correct. During the pass, the SmartFirmer measures moisture, temperature and other soil properties in the furrow. At the same time, the seeds are embedded in the furrow. With the help of this information, you can set your depth correctly and ensure that you achieve uniform field emergence. The seeds need moisture to germinate. However, the amount available to the grain can vary from soil to soil. SmartFirmer measures the amount of moisture available and visualizes it in the cabin. You can then adjust the depth and ensure that your seeds germinate evenly.

See what is going on

In the course of the crossing, the SmartFirmer measures not only the moisture, but also the temperature and the number of residues in the furrow. With the knowledge of the temperature, you can choose the right sowing time for optimal germination. With the help of the residue amount information, the furrow clearers can be adjusted to avoid stubble residues delaying the germination of the seed. With the help of the 20|20 monitor, the information from the SmartFirmer can be conveniently transferred to the cab. This allows your seeds to benefit from ideal conditions in the furrow, germinate evenly and produce maximum yields.

Keeton Seed Firmer

Uniform embedding of the seed If the seed does not reach the bottom of the furrow, air pockets may occur. These can delay field emergence. Keetons embed the grains in the furrow, improving soil closure and ensuring that your seed germinates evenly.

FurrowForce - Closing System

Proper adjustment of common press rollers is a challenge. FurrowForce is a two-stage closing system that adjusts to local seeding conditions, preventing air pockets and reconsolidating the soil. This gives you the assurance that your seeds will have the best possible germination conditions. "Where was the furrow again?" Correctly adjusting common pinch rollers is a challenge. FurrowForce is a two-stage closing system that adjusts to local seeding conditions, preventing air pockets and reconsolidating the soil. This gives you the assurance that your seeds will have the best possible germination conditions.

Step 1: Toothed disc coulters break open the side walls of the seed furrow and fill them from bottom to top. In this way, air pockets are prevented.

Step 2: Ballasted rubber pressure rollers consolidate the soil above the grains. Due to this, moisture is preserved in the seed horizon to enable fast, uniform germination. The rollers also determine the working depth of the disc coulters. This ensures that each seed has first-class soil contact.

Automatic adaptation to field conditions

In combination with the 20|20 Gen3 monitor, FurrowForce can be used as an automatic closing system. From the cab, the operator adjusts the air actuator, which applies the defined force to the pinch rollers. A force measuring pin detects deviations from the desired setting and automatically adjusts the closing pressure for each row. This allows any fluctuations to be compensated for by releasing or applying compressed air. On precision seed drills with FurrowForce, the most common question from farmers when checking grain placement is: "Where was the furrow again?

Speed Tube - Seed tube

Use the optimal sowing conditions

Most years bring challenges due to weather. This makes it difficult to seed all your fields in ideal conditions. SpeedTube is an elevator system that allows you to double your seeding speed and maintain placement accuracy. The system helps you finish before the rain starts. It's agonizing to sit in the machine shop when it's raining, knowing that seeding isn't finished yet. But worse is the prospect of finding worse seeding conditions at the next opportunity. These circumstances will negatively affect the yield. Therefore, you need a precision seeder with which you can have the greatest possible area output every day without being limited by the working width.

Accuracy at any speed

SpeedTube is the key to success. More sown area per day, while maintaining the correct spacing of the seeds. Regardless of the driving speed at which you sow. SpeedTube can be combined with other Precision Planting solutions. This allows you to configure a high-speed precision seeder that gives you a great crop.

SmartDepth - depth settings from the booth

Adjusting seeding depth to varying soil conditions is time consuming.

With SmartDepth, you can make depth adjustments conveniently in the booth. This saves time and gives you the certainty that every row is set perfectly.

To adjust the conventional depth control on your precision drill, you have to stop and leave the cab. With the 20|20® monitor and SmartDepth module, you can now easily make depth adjustments in the cab at the touch of a button. in the cab.

Stopping and getting out was yesterday.

Secure your decision on sowing depth by linking SmartDepth with SmartFirmer

By digging a few seeds, you get a poor overview of whether your depth setting is appropriate. SmartFirmer ® is a sensor that measures moisture, temperature and residue in the furrow. Based on the readings, you can adjust your seeding depth and expect a homogeneous crop. The 20|20 monitor brings together the information from SmartFirmer and SmartDepth. Thanks to the visualization, you can secure your decision on sowing depth and change it as needed. If soil moisture is sufficient, you can sow shallower; if conditions are too dry, you can sow deeper. Either way, the right setting is no more than the push of a button away.

Row units - Ready Row Unit

Keep your frame, improve performance and save money! Buying a new precision air seeder is costly. But it does not have to be. With the ReadyRowUnit, you keep the existing machine frame and only replace the row units and wiring. In this way, you create a state-of-the-art, high-performance machine and save money at the same time. Seed drill frames usually last a long time. However, row units and electronics require regular maintenance to keep them functioning. When row units reach their maximum life, you can replace them with Precision Planting's industry-leading ReadyRowUnits.

According to your needs

For ideal seed placement and uniform field emergence, the various PrecisionPlanting solutions can be combined with the ReadyRowUnit. This allows you to upgrade your existing frame to a powerful precision drill without having to invest in a complete new machine. The Precision Planting ReadyRowUnit provides an ideal basis for adding further solutions to your precision air seeder at a later date. Here you can choose from a wide product portfolio.
