How we can help?

Spacing? Depth? Speed? Residue? Seedbed? Which problem is costing you the most during planting? Look here to uncover the cost of poor planter performance . . . and simple solutions to fix them.

Populations. Spacing. Placement.

Higher populations mean that the placement of every plant - every seed - is critical. Corn plants closer than 4" sense high population and react to the high stress environment. But with a little effort, today's planters can achieve spacing accuracy of 97% or more. Find out how.

Depth. Compaction. Residue.

Uniform emergence is the most important event in a cornfield's year. Plants that do not emerge within 48 hours after their neighbors turn into "weeds". Creating a good, clean seed V, getting seeds to the bottom of the trench and eliminating compaction can get plants off to a uniform start.

Measure. Monitor. Control.

Find and Fix planter problems before they cost you a dime. New monitoring and sensing systems can identify expensive issues you can't detect in the shop. And with new control systems, you can set and forget critical functions like downforce adjustments, VR populations and Row Control.

Improve Spacing How it Works Technical Support

The BullsEye Seed Tube gives seeds the most direct path to the seed trench. The smooth interior and recessed sensor eye eliminates any interference that can slow the seed’s descent.

In other seed tubes, the sensor can interfere sending the seed into gyrations that slow it causing gaps and misplaced seeds. The BullsEye Seed Tube moves the sensor eye behind a ledge that makes it impossible for the seed to nick the sensor. It is a straight shot to the trench.

To extend wear life, we’ve imbedded tungsten carbide into the bottom of the tube.

This eliminates the wear that causes the small poly dog-ear that normally appears on the left side of the tube. The tungsten keeps the double disk opener from wearing against the side of the tube.

Time Lapse Photo

This time lapse photo shows how seeds slow down when they make contact with the seed tube. In the photo at right, the seed has hit the sensor and the strobe light exposes its winding path down the tube. That seed spends .11 seconds in the seed tube which translates to 11 inches from the previous seed. The seed on the left has a direct path to the seed trench and only spends .07 seconds in the seed tube, and is the correct distance from the previous seed - seven inches.

Special Alert for Finger Meter Owners
Kinze and John Deere 7000 seed tubes are especially prone to sensor eye interference. If you own one of these planters, take a hard look at the improvements you can make by switching to BullsEye Seed Tubes. Save on BullsEye Seed Tubes.

Special discounts on the BullsEye Seed Tube are available when you purchase them as part of a Precision Meter Kit or a Vac Solutions Kit.
