Don't Let Your Planter Wear Out

You know that planter row unit maintenance is critical for consistent plant emergence. It's simple: worn row unit components, especially worn parallel arms and gauge wheel arms, allow slop and play causing uneven seed depth. Even the smallest wear robs you of yield from late-emerging plants. Instead of throwing money and time at temporary fixes, get your time and money back with DuraWear wear parts.

The Power of Planting Depth

Uneven planting depth causes uneven emergence and lost yield.

The Ideal Planting Depth

After testing planting depths and moisture levels, Precision Planting agronomists suggest planting corn deeper than 1.5” and near 30% moisture. How do you get consistent planting depth to stay at the 1.5" mark? By precisely adjusting your t-handle so all rows plant evenly.

A New Solution to an Old Problem

With our state-of-the-art, calibratable depth handle, you can remove row-to-row variability on your planter. Set each row precisely, providing peace of mind that each row is planted at the same depth, every time.

Durawear Depth Handle from Precision Planting makes depth calibrations across row units simple and accurate.

Easy Calibration

The depth handle is a simple adjustment tool that allows for microadjustments to be made within a depth setting to hone in on accuracy.

A Simple Solution for Seed Firming

With the ability to apply liquid in-furrow.

Tuck in Your Seeds

One of the most common issues at-plant is when seeds don't land at the bottom of the furrow where they belong. This can create an air pocket underneath the seed, inhibiting it from taking up as much moisture as it should. What does the research show? That seed firmers matter.

Get Rid of Air Pockets

When seeds don't land in the bottom of the trench where they belong, an air pocket forms underneath them, leading to late germination and emergence, and ultimately, yield loss.
