Tools for improving depth control, singulation, seed environment and yield.

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.

Precision Meter

Precision Meter adjustable brush lets you adapt to seed size.

Adjustable BrushHere is the brush that has revolutionized mechanical seed metering. In the past, your finger meter was calibrated for a single seed size or shape. Well, the real world doesn't come in one size or shape. With the Adjustable Brush, you can quickly and easily change the characteristics of your meter to match your seeds. For small seeds, just adjust the brush closer to the base of the backing plate. That way the brush aggressively reaches under the finger to reduce doubles. Then for larger seeds, adjust the brush away from the base of the backing plate. Now, the softer brush isn't overly aggressive which can cause skips.

There's a handy reference guide that shows where to set the brush for various seed sizes and shapes. And your Precision Planting dealer can help you determine the precise setting for each of your seed types.

Even better: Use the 20/20 SeedSense -- with its ability to measure skips and doubles -- to give you an instant snapshot of meter performance. Too many skips -- move the brush away from the backing plate. Too many doubles -- tighten up the brush. Give your finger meters the flexibility you only thought was possible with a vacuum meter.

The Adustable Brush is only available for use in Precision Planting's Population Max backing plate.

It pays to plant with Precision.
