  Better Seed-to-Soil Contact

  After making the switch to the Precision Disk 500T air drill, Steve Sukup of Paulding County, Ohio, reached a new milestone. It was the first planting season he was able to drill straight through — without having to stop and unplug any seed tubes. A higher bulk seed tank and more accessible meters and hoses help simplify his daily maintenance, replacing the time he used to spend crawling underneath a machine with greater uptime. Faced with heavy clay soil, Steve appreciates the ability to raise the drill’s down pressure. “After setting the down pressure higher, we had excellent stands — some of the best stands in drilled soybeans that we’ve had in a long time,” Steve says. He also credits parallel linkage for superior seed-to-soil contact and accura​​te seed depth, even in difficult conditions. And after just one season with Section Automated Control, he anticipates savings as a result of automated shut-offs, calling the system “smooth as a whistle.”​

  Delivers Seeding Simplicity

  ​Wes Statz relies on his Precision Disk 500T air drill to plant everything from soybeans and wheat to alfalfa and sorghum. Whether seeding for his family’s dairy in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, or raising custom forage crops for neighboring operations, Wes counts on the 500T to get the most from every seed. As the crop and machinery manager for an innovative operation, he chose the 500T for its advanced technology. When switching from soybeans to alfalfa, the meter rollout system allows him to quickly and easily change out crops, all while delivering unmatched seed placement and uniform depth control. The technology, simplicity and ease of adjustments help Wes work longer and faster, covering more acreage in a short amount of time. He can also easily maneuver around contours and cover more acres with less maintenance. For Wes, it all came full circle after seeing the results from his first planting season with the drill, which he described as “unbelievable.”​​
