Precision Planting Equipment : Seedmeter

Vacuum seed meters are available for planters with MaxEmerge™ XP or Pro-Series™ XP row units.

This meter uses a low volume of air to hold individually selected seeds in the seed disc cells for greater population control and spacing accuracy to give customers a better crop stand.

The central vacuum pump blower is hydraulically driven.

Different vacuum levels are required depending on the crop to be planted. A control valve lets the operator regulate motor speed by changing the vacuum level.

• One moving component (the seed metering disc) for minimum maintenance requirements.
• Meter located at each row-unit for most accurate seed delivery.
• Good hopper seed flow characteristics for longer operating time per hopper fill.
• Adjustable baffle to control seed flow into the seed meter reservoir, maintaining proper meter fill for the type of seed being planted.
• Low air flow in meter so seed treatments are not removed.

The unique seed disc cell design allows planting a variety of seed sizes without requiring adjustments to fine tune the operation

• Seed discs are made of a durable plastic composition.
• No tools are required to remove a seed disc — simply flip a knob.
