SUPERIOR SEED PLACEMENT
The Precision Disk single disk no-till disk blades are 22.5 inches (571.5 mm) in diameter – the largest in the industry – to effectively cut through debris and leave a clean furrow for optimum seed-to-soil contact and even germination. |
Disk Opener
- Residue is cut (not pushed) due to 5-degree disk angle, which also reduces sidewall compaction
- Accurate and consistent seeding depth is achieved thanks to durable steel scraper that creates a shelf on the side of the trench for seed – and it guards against plugging
- Long life disk due to double bevel edge and durable Earth Metal® construction
Early Riser Gauge Wheel
- Optimum and consistent seed trench depth is delivered by the proven Case IH Early Riser® gauge wheel
- Moist soil is held next to the seed trench – delivered by the gauge wheel’s inverted soil groove
- Then it is gently placed directly on top the seed to optimize germination
Seed Depth Adjustment
- Change depth easily and safely from the front or back of the machine
- A simple depth control lever easily places seed at the appropriate depth, from 1/4 - 3 1/2 in., adjustable in quarter-inch increments
Seed Tube
- Seed is softly released onto the seed shelf while the air carrying the seed vents into the atmosphere, thanks to an angled seed tube design
- Seed tube flattens out to fit behind the scraper into the narrow seed trench
Packing System
- Highly effective packing system features a spring-loaded, smooth-crown closing wheel that optimizes furrow closure while it sheds dirt
- Plant more types of crops efficiently due to three packing pressure settings of 30, 45 and 60 lbs. (13.6, 20.4 and 27.2 kgs)
- Pack directly over the seed row, or up to 2 in. (5 cm) to the side by adjusting the closing/press wheel position
- Optional smooth-surface wheel mounted in line with seed shelf uses down pressure to maximize seed-to-soil contact
