Features

TruSet™ Downforce Control

ISOBUS VT screen showing TruSet opener downforce controls, with a 144‑lbf reading, up/down arrows, and preset options listed on the left

TruSet™ downforce allows operators to adjust pressures from inside the cab with a range of 74.8 kg (165 lb.) to 181.4 kg (400 lb.), enhancing seeding depth consistency and adapting easily to changing soil conditions.

ProSeries™ Opener Technology

pro-series-benefit

This air drill is equipped with ProSeries™ Openers, which provide consistent seed depth and uniform emergence across varied field conditions. These openers minimize maintenance with reduced grease points and cause less soil disturbance with a narrow seed boot.

RelativeFlow™ Blockage Sensing

Display screen showing a blockage monitoring interface with circular row indicators, bar graphs of relative flow, a color‑coded sensor status legend, and navigation icons on the right side

RelativeFlow™ Blockage sensing monitors seed and fertilizer flow in the tractor cab, preventing potential blockages. Sensors on secondary hoses provide real-time flow data row by row, ensuring early problem detection and consistent application rates.
