Features
ProSeries™ Opener Technology
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
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.
TruSet™ Downforce Control
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.
