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.

Accurate, Flexible Performance How it Works Testimonials FAQs Technical Support

Choose higher accuracy, more flexibility and longer life.

vSet Motor

While many prefer mechanical finger meters, many others are switching to vacuum meters – especially Precision Planting’s eSets – because they:

Plant a wider variety of seed sizes and shapes
Plant a wider variety of types of seeds with a simple disk change
Plant at a wider range of speeds
Have lower wear and less maintenance costs

Now, the new vSet vacuum meter system offers current finger meter users improved singulation, more convenience, longer wear life and greater seed flexibility. And Kinze EdgeVac^® owners will appreciate vSet’s adjustment-free high performance.

Precision Planting’s eSet^® system raised meter performance expectations to new new level of excellence; however, this system was limited to Deere vacuum meters. Now, with vSet, there is high performance, pour and go meter for a wider variety of planters allowing you to pair the right planter for your operation without sacrificing meter performance.

What is Singulation?

Singulation is the measure of how accurate a meter segregates seed from the seed pool for planting. Our measure is in percentage of how many times it segregates one seed and only seed out for planting without errors.

Why is Singulation Important?

Singulation accounts for both meter errors that result in skips and multiples. Other metrics such as population and average spacing values can mask skips and multiples, which leads to false conclusions about meter and planting performance.

It pays to plant with Precision.
