EARLY RISER ROW UNIT
Optimize seedbed conditions to allow earlier, more uniform emergence and higher yield potential.  Distinctive Design Offers Several Agronomic Advantages
- Superior seed-to-soil contact due to:
- A combination of furrow formation and furrow closing
- Faster, more consistent germination and earlier, more uniform emergence:
- Two to three days earlier, according to agronomists
- Uniform depth control for uniform emergence, thanks to equalizing gauge wheels:
- Wheels are pulled, not pushed, over rocks, clods and obstacles — for better stability
- Minimizes bouncing and allows faster operation in adverse field conditions
- Exclusive, zero-indexed depth control:
- Zero out the depth control to ensure all rows will be set accurately and consistently
- Save up to 70% of normal adjustment time
