Product Spotlight | PLANTER AND SEEDERS

Farmers and ranchers are adopting advanced tools to improve planting efficiency and accuracy. Hydraulic downforce systems and planter attachments provide real-time adjustments for optimal seed-to-soil contact and planting depth.

Additionally, depth calibration tools and attachments prevent gauge wheel build-up, ensuring uniform planting. Innovations like grates and gauge arms enhance seed meter performance, prevent clogging and improve durability, revolutionizing planting management across diverse soil types.

S. I. PPS Premium and Norseman Planter

The PPS Premium Complete Flange Bushing Rebuild Kit and Norseman Planter Gauge Wheel Arms are two reliable solutions for improving planter performance and durability. The PPS kit eliminates unwanted movement in parallel linkage arms, thanks to a two-bushing system that reduces wear in parallel arm holes. With pre-installed hardened flange bushings and robust welded steel arms, the kit handles excessive down pressures and adverse planting conditions, saving time and maintenance costs. For existing arms, the Rebuild-Your-Existing-Parallel-Arm Kits provide a cost-effective way to restore performance.

The Norseman Planter Gauge Wheel Arms complement these improvements by replacing cast arms with industrystandard double-roller bearings. Known for their durability, these sealed bearings resist wear better than traditional original manufacturing equipment bushings. Designed for John Deere and Kinze planters, Norseman kits are designed for high performance in tough conditions, ensuring reliable operation during critical planting windows.

Together, these products offer comprehensive solutions to reduce planter downtime, prolong component life and minimize costly replacements.

Martin Till 1360 ACR Row Cleaner

The ACCR1360 Row Cleaner provides a compact solution for effective residue management. Measuring less than 14 inches from the faceplate, it features a heavy-duty greaseable tapered roller bearing hub, for superior performance and durability.

Its parallel linkage system allows for more than 4 inches of travel, ensuring a consistent wheel stance on uneven ground. This makes it ideal for planters with front frame-mounted nitrogen coulters or in situations where full-size row cleaners are not feasible due to folding / unfolding constraints.

The row cleaner is easy to install with a pre-assembled chassis and offers a choice of spike or razor wheels, positioned to optimize residue management. This cleaner is compatible with various row units, including Case-IH 1200 series and Great Plains.
