Description

Mechanical drive systems require costly and time-consuming maintenance. vDrive is a maintenance-free electric drive system that lets you breeze through planting without the headaches of a mechanical drive system.

Save Time

At Precision Planting, we know how important it is to get your planter ready for the spring.  The problem is, that even with the most fine toothed comb, there are still problems that can crop up during planting.  A bearing that was good in the shop can go out in the field.  A tensioner can break.  These issues cost you critical planting time and leave you feeling frustrated because you knew you had done everything you could pre-season.  We understand that when conditions are fit, your planter has to be rolling. Add vDrive to your planter and experience a planter drive system that just works, because it's simple.  Save time, money, and frustration and  keep your planter rolling with vDrive.

Remove Complex Drive Systems

vDrive replaces the mechanical drive system, simplifying your planter.  A vDrive motor mounts to each vSet meter and makes that row a single row planter, because that row is controlled individually.

Save Seed With Row Shut Off

vDrive allows the seed and insecticide meter to turn off at a boundary or where you have already planted, making sure that you don't overspend on inputs. 

 

Get Population Right on Curves

When you plant around a curve with a typical drive system, the population on each row varies because all meters turn the same speed while the inside row units of the planter travel slower and the outside faster, resulting in a large variation in population

With vDrive on your planter, each meter turns the speed that matches the speed of that row unit, so the plant population is correct on each row of the planter.  Gone is the yield loss from wide population variances.

 

Variable Rate Done Flawlessly

Changing seeding rates based on the yield potential of different areas of the field makes sense. To have confidence that you are getting the most out of variable rate, you need a planter that gets the rate correct in each zone in the field.  vDrive hits the rates because each row can change population independently, rather than all rows planting the same population.

Get Insecticide Right, Too

You need to deliver insecticide to the row to protect your seed, so how do you accomplish that without the mechanical drive system on the planter?  vDrive handles that too, by driving a vDrive insecticide meter.  The vDrive insecticide meter takes all the great features of vDrive and does them for your insecticide; proper rate regardless of speed, swath control, and variable rate capabilties.  Get both seed and insecticide right with vDrive.

Combine With mSet For Multi-Hybrid Capability

vSet meters + vDrive allow you to have a stress free planting season making sure that your singulation, population, and drive system are working correctly. But if you have variability in your field that calls for different seeding rates, could two different hybrids also help you be more profitable in the different areas of the field?  vSet and vDrive can be combined with the mSet Multi Hybrid system in order to vary not only population rates across the field but also change hybrids on the go as well. 

EQUIPPED FOR

Beans

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

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

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.

Peanuts

Row overlap during planting makes it troublesome for diggers at harvest time. You can easily manage row-by-row shut off when you use Precision Planting technology and you’ll reduce your spend on extra seed. You can even eliminate a sprayer pass when you apply insecticides/nematicides while planting with the same technology.

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.

Sunflowers

Meters are not one size fits all for sunflowers, but performance of singulation and spacing is key for consistent head size. That’s why we’ve designed and offer multiple seed disks to plant your sunflowers consistently and offer technology to avoid delays in emergence for your sunflowers.
