Electric Drives With SectionCommand™
Individual electric drive motors on each meter section enable SectionCommand™ for efficient variable and prescription seeding. This upgrade replaces traditional hydraulic or ground drives, potentially saving 4 to 6% in seed based on field variability.
ProSeries™ Openers Reduce Maintenance
ProSeries™ openers are standard on all N500C integrated tank drills. These openers feature quick-change blades, sealed bushings, a high-wear seed boot, and a narrow and flexible press wheel. These features increase the service life of the openers, keeping you in the field longer.
Improved Meter Access With New Frame Design
This model features an updated frame design with the tank positioned for better meter access. The tank's larger capacity and improved cleanout ease seed handling and maintenance, while electrical drive metering enhances calibration and precision.
