Update your current planter to ExactEmergeTM or MaxEmergeTM Electric Drive
Now more than ever, it's important to be efficient with your inputs – and your time. Upgrading your planter to ExactEmerge or MaxEmerge 5e electric drive can help you better manage both without a major row unit rebuild. It's a flexible solution that can benefit any operation that wants to upgrade but doesn't need new iron with a full row unit upgrade, such as shanks, parallel arms, and gauge wheels. With a Meter Upgrade, you'll see a faster return on your investment – with a lower upfront cost compared to upgrading full row units or buying a different planter.
