Six Steps to Better Seed Bed Conditions

Step I Step2 step 3
STEP 1

Narrow 10.5- degree offset double disk openers slice through residue and penetrate hard soils to create a narrow seed furrow with minimal side wall compaction.

(Competitors use a wider 14-degree nose-to-nose design that causes more sidewall compaction, which can delay seed emergence.)

STEP 2

"Walking Beam" guage wheels maintain uniform seeding depth and placement, even in fields wih heavy residue, rocks and clods. Gauge wheels are also designed with a soil retention groove to capture moist soil from the furrow, which is eventually returned to the furrow by the closing system.

STEP 3

The furrow firming point defines the sides and bottom of the seed furrow for a calibrated and accurate seed depth. This prevents loose soil from creating a false bottom, which can lead to inaccurate seed depth.

step 4 step 5 step 6
STEP 4

A V-shaped seed tube centers the seed into perfect position at the bottom of the furrow. The tube is made of a special material that reduces ricochet— and prevents inaccurate seed placement.

STEP 5

Inverted closing disks fill the furrow from both sides. In doing so, they move the loose, moist soil (that was captured by gauge wheel soil retention grooves) closest to the seed in the bottom of the seed furrow.

STEP 6

A wide press wheel gently firms soil oer the furrow for optimal seed-to-soil contact, leaving a crust-breaking chevron pattern that spreads emergence.
