Overview

Most planting seasons have weather challenges that make it difficult to plant all your fields in ideal conditions. SpeedTube is a seed delivery system that allows you to double your planting speed without sacrificing performance. You’ll have a sense of accomplishment when the rain comes and your planter is already back in the shed.

Work With Weather, Not Against It SpeedTube Workwithweather 1050x600

Every spring, you want to get your acres planted in a timely fashion, in the best conditions possible.  But more often than we wish, the weather messes with our plans, and causes us to make trade offs.  Plant ahead of the cold front, and sacrifice stand?  Plant in soil that is a day or two away from being fit because the calendar says I am behind?  Stop making these tradeoffs, and be ready to beat the weather that comes your way with SpeedTube on your planter.

 

Think Agile, Not Cumbersome

Many growers try to solve the acres per hour question with a larger planter or more planters, which turns into costly equipment payments along with manpower and logisticaly challenges.  Upgrading the planter that you currently have to be able to cover more acres an hour, accurately, is the smart choice for hitting your ideal planting window.

Speed Doesn't Have to Kill RowFlow Alreadyown MW 1050x600

Think differently about planting speed.  We know that planting too fast will cause row units to bounce, seeds to bounce in the tube, and a poor stand.  SpeedTube eliminates this issue because the seeds are controlled all the way from the vSet meter to the ground.  If there is row unit bounce, it doesn't affect seed spacing because the seeds are contained within a flighted belt, keeping them in place.  When seeds are under control, speed can be increased without sacrificing performance.  And when you increase speed, you can have a smile on your face when that late spring rain comes because you know all of your crop is in the ground, accurately.

 

Controlled Speed Wins

SpeedTube combines with other systems from Precision Planting as part of a high speed planting system that ensures that as you speed up, yield potential is not going down.  SpeedTube uses two feeder wheels to pull seeds off of the vSet disk, into a flighted belt, and into the seed trench.  The seeds don't bounce in the tube because they are under control, and they also don't tumble in the furrow because the seed release is matched to ground speed.  The result is properly spaced seeds, and more acres covered in the ideal planting window.

A Complete High Speed System SpeedTube Completesystem 1050x600

SpeedTube is one component of the high speed planting system from Precision Planting.  Row by row downforce control, accurate metering and drive, row cleaner control, and fertilizer rate control that doesn't compromise accuracy over changing speeds all are part of a system that ensures that as speed increases, accuracy remains the same.  High Speed planting is not just a delivery system, it is a complete package.

Beansprecision planting SpeedTube

Beans have sometimes been treated like a weed, but research is showing that managing consistent emergence and spacing of beans can lead to improved yields and reduced seeding rates. Precision Planting provides a complete suite of tools to plant your beans earlier and more accurately than in the past.

Corn 20150928 PrecisionHarvest MG 4489

You face multiple decisions throughout the corn growing season. Precision Planting technology helps make those decisions easier with in-cab data to allow you to make better decisions in the moment. This technology powers systems that control population, downforce, liquid application, multi-hybrid planting, and high-speed planting, all while sensing the furrow.

Cotton Cotton

Getting a well-emerged stand of cotton is imperative to getting both yield and quality at harvest, but current planting equipment limits a cotton seed’s ability to emerge well. Precision Planting products ensure that your seed population, depth, and environment is perfect, giving each seed the opportunity to emerge, grow, and thrive.

Sugarbeets Sugarbeets

It’s no secret that sugarbeets do not endure stress well. Precision Planting technology takes away some of the burdens by providing consistent spacing, depth, and seed-to-soil contact. A more uniform stand at harvest means more sugar with less waste during topping and lifting.
