PARALLEL LINK

• Consists of an upper and lower arm that extends rearward and attaches to the sturdy cast row unit frame.
• The cast lower link carries the weight of the 165 pound row unit
• The upper link allows the row unit to lift and lower level
  • Ensures even seed depth placement in any soil condition
• Provides the potential for faster ground speed and more acres seeded per day
  • Allows 8.5 in. of upward travel and 11.5 in. of downward travel for maximum ground following capability
• The parallel link bushings feature oil impregnated copper iron alloy bushings
  • Don’t require grease, reducing maintenance and increasing uptime

DOWN PRESSURE SPRING

• Exclusive to Case IH is a unique variable down pressure spring on each row unit.
• Provides pressure on an individual row unit to assist the row unit engagement in the ground
• Ensures even emergence and minimized compaction across terraces and uneven terrain.

ADDITIONAL WEIGHTS

• Additional weights can be added to the tool bar if needed for hard ground conditions and deep seeding depths
  • Could be needed in soil conditions that are no-till and/or clay based soils
• Tilled ground typically doesn’t require any additional weights
• Optional weight brackets are available for easily adding additional weights to both wings and center section
  • No more than 1400 lbs should be added to the center section
  • No more than 600 lbs on each wing
• 100 lb (45 kg) suitcase weights are available from the CNH parts organization (part #: 86988727)

ROCKSHAFT

• Responsible for carrying and providing the down pressure for the two unit ranks
• The majority of the sub-frame and rockshaft is welded together for additional strength
• Makes the frame more robust and provides superior durability over bolted joints

OPENER SCRAPER

• Critical to keeping the opener disk clean is the scraper with tungsten carbide wear components
• Extends further down the opener to protect the seed as it is dropped into the seed trench
  • Provides proper seed placement for high yield potential
• The spring loaded scraper fits behind the profile of the angled opener which prevents it from dragging in the soil and seed trench
  • Provides lower overall draft of the entire disk drill and lower down pressure requirements

SECURE DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

• A single, spring loaded T-handle allows simple adjustment of row unit depth at each opener
  • No tools are required for adjustment
• As the T-handle is adjusted fore and aft, the gauge wheel rotates up or down to adjust seeding depth for an individual row unit
  • The row unit and the T-handle are made of cast iron
• True 0-3.5 in. depths are available in 14 different increments
  • Every other notch is identified on the case frame to help the operator apply the same depth across the tool and easily return to that preferred depth
• The only greaseable point on the row unit is found on the gauge wheel adjustment spindle
  • Requires greasing every 50 hrs. or once per season
• The tolerance between the handle tab and the notched row unit frame is tight to help retain the handle in place and provide worry free depth control

GAUGE WHEELS

• Supporting the weight of the row unit is the 4.5 in. wide gauge wheel
• Provides consistent seed depth and seed trench in all operating conditions, including no-till and clay soils

CLOSING WHEELS

• The four-inch wide, double-edged closing wheel is designed specifically for closing in any condition
  • Sand, loam or clay
  • Even in soft ground, the closing wheel is able to float and close the seed trench
• This extremely durable wheel is tilted slightly to one direction
  • One raised edge of the wheel breaks the side wall
  • The opposing edge captures the soil, preventing it from moving outside of the trench area

PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS

• There are three different down pressure settings to meet the field conditions
  • 59 lbs.
  • 71 lbs.
  • 84 lbs.
• Adjustment of the pressure is easily done by moving the single handle to a different notch

TRANSPORT

• The vertical fold design allows for lowest transport height in the industry as well as narrow transport widths
  • The 25 & 30 ft. Precision Disk Drill also utilizes a wing lock for safe transport
• To fold or unfold the tool, a single remote lever in the tractor is used
• While transporting or pulling in/out of a field, the ground clearance of the openers is 8.5 in.
• The wide profile of the transport wheels provide the stability to move the disk drill confidently
  • Even at higher roading speeds
    • Maximum Transport speed should not exceed 20 mph.

FRONT HITCH

• The front pull hitch is a floating style hitch
  • Allows the disk drill to float up and down, independently from the tractor and hitch
  • Improves ground following and seed depth control because the hitch will not raise or lower the front of the tool when the tractor rides over a hill or obstacle

HITCH CLEVIS

• A strong cast Cat IV clevis
• For secure hitching, this type of hitch requires a 2” hitch pin

ACCURATE SEEDING RATES.

The Precision Disk 500T Disk Drill's on-board seed meter provides accurate seed metering across a broad range of seed types. The meter itself consists of individual meter roller sections for each primary run and then the seed flow is split by a Y-splitter and is directed to one of two different openers. Each roller section is made from a durable polypropylene material that is able to withstand all types of treatments and seed coatings.

SEED DRIVE CALIBRATION

• The AFS Pro 700 provides the ability to quickly and easily calibrate the meter drives for accurate population control for each crop type.
  • The purpose of the calibration is to understand the amount of product applied by a given number of meter rotations
  • The process performed through a series of steps via a wizard
• A calibration number is automatically created for the product being applied
  • The operator can change this manually if desired
  • The value is not saved between each crop type and must be re-entered before returning to seeding the original crop type

RAIN SHIELD KIT

• The optional, clear rain shield kit protects the seed meters from rain and water in case the disk drill is left outside

SEED DRIVE

• The single hydraulic motor provides the needed power and torque to turn the seed drives at the required speed for precise rate control
