Click here to view how SeedSense® supplies you with a new level of performance information.
With this touch-screen display, you can tap on any of the windows on the main screen and pull up a detail screen that shows a row-by-row bar chart of the planter’s performance.
This window gives you a perfect picture of each row’s performance. A bar showing above the line shows that meter is doubling. A bar below the line indicates skips.
Row Details are displayed when you tap the low row button from the main screen or any bar from the bar chart screens.
Now you can see all of the detail information for a specific row. You can see skip and double information, population and spacing information. Plus, you can watch the seeds emerge from the row unit and monitor the location of skips, doubles and misplaced seeds.
We have kept the hardware make-up of the SeedSense system simple.
- Touch Screen Display – big 8.5” monitor for easy navigation and operation
- Down Force Sensor – Now you can measure the amount of excess weight being carried by the gauge wheels so you can finally manage down force and reduce sidewall compaction. Just remove a pin in the depth adjustment linkage on three of your rows and replace it with this smart pin. White and Kinze Planters will use a smart link instead of a pin.
- Smart Connector – the brains behind the system . . . simply mount it on the frame of the planter and plug it in between your existing 37-Pin connector. The Smart Connector gathers the information coming from the seed tubes and processes it into more valuable management information.
- Row Unit Module – here is the accelerometer and processor for down force. Just bolt this to the rows with the Smart Pin. Now you can watch how smooth or rough your row units are riding and see the impact this ride is having on seed spacing.
Fast Installation
Installation on most planters will take less than two hours. After five minutes of in-cab set up, you are ready to plant – with more information than you have ever had before. Planters equipped with KPM II and KPM III monitors will require additional sensors and harness. View our installation instructions to see all the details.
Additional equipment required for Kinze 3000 Series planter owners. Special installation information for Kinze KPM II and KPM III planter owners:
Your KPM II and KPM III monitor uses a serial communication system that sends infrequent seed count data to the display. In order to get more rapid population counts and all of the seed and downforce data of 20/20, you will replace your existing sensors and harness with those supplied with your 20/20 system.
With the new harness and seed tube sensors in place, you can easily tap into an upgraded stream of data and gain the benefits of 20/20 in the cab. That includes the ability to measure downforce. Instead of a downforce pin, you will receive a link that replaces the link in your depth adjustment linkage.
