Plant 2x Faster
A masterpiece of engineering. The planter of the future is in your shed today. SpeedTube allows you to increase your speed and ensure spacing accuracy, while maximizing your planting window. Designed with performance, durability, and ease-of-use as the core objectives.
Focused on the perfect plant - and speed.
SpeedTube has broken seed tube convention. Planting with SpeedTube enables accurate seed spacing at any speed — regular seed tubes just can’t handle going faster. Take control of your best planting window at double your speed. The secret is in the flighted belt that takes gravity out of the equation. There’s no opportunity for seeds to ricochet into the trench. Even at twice the speed you normally plant, every seed arrives safely at the bottom of the trench, spaced evenly, every time. So the perfect plant spacing is attainable, while Maximizing that perfect planting window.
No more missed yield potential. Multi-hybrid planting is here.
You aim to maximize yield by planting the hybrid that will do the best, on average, across the whole field. But yield environments often change in the same field, calling for different hybrids in different areas. You've had to make compromises, but not anymore.With the radically new vSet Select, there are no compromises. You can plant two hybrids in the same row, switching back and forth as environments change, to plant the hybrid that will produce the most in each environment. That maximizes yield.Any mapping software can make the two-hybrid prescription shape file that is used by vSet Select, or operators can manually switch from one hybrid to another.
The vSet meter:
The best singulation available
Outstanding reliability
Easy to maintain
Easy to use
vSet features a flat disk with a single vac setting. It releases seeds down the center of the tube – critical to optimum spacing. And has a floating, 5-lobed singulator that makes sure no two seeds of any kind can occupy the same hole. One seed locks in and one seed drops. Every time.This champion singulator is a model of simplicity in operation. It handles any seed size or shape without finicky tweaks to vac pressure, disk or singulator settings.Just pour in the seed and go. Then get ready for your best possible yield.
The eSet meter:
Best-in-class singulation
Selecting the eSet meter is a no-brainer. It has a flat disk with a single vac setting, eliminating constant adjustments. It releases seeds down the center of the tube – critical to optimum spacing. It has a 5-lobed singulator that makes sure no two seeds of any kind can occupy the same hole. One seed locks in and one seed drops. Every time.eSet is a star of simplicity. It handles any seed size or shape without finicky tweaks to vac pressure, disk or singulator settings. Just pour in the seed and go. Then get ready for your best possible yield.A simple replacement for OEM vacuum disks on John Deere planters. You get the disk, baffle, singulator, brushes and seed extractor. Everything mounts to your existing meter housing (1991 or later).
Improve planter performance where it counts – in the meter.
Ordinary finger meters have a hard time singulating, especially with a wide variety of seeds. They’ll miss one, then grab two, resulting in skips and doubles. That not only wastes seeds, it cuts your yield.Because the components all mesh perfectly, Precision Meters hold one seed at a time, then release it. They’re engineered and built to do it again and again. You’ll see fewer skips and doubles – and higher yield.If you don’t need a whole new meter, you can still improve your spacing with Precision Meter belts, backing plates or finger sets. Your Precision Planting dealer can test your meters and recommend upgrades.
Clean rows, effortlessly.
Uniform germination and higher plant counts depend on clean rows. Clean rows are the work of row cleaners. But, until now, row cleaners have been hard work themselves, because they need to be set precisely and changed frequently.But now, CleanSweep® does all that hard work for you. It puts row cleaners right where they need to be – where they move the residue but not the soil – and continuously adjusts them as field conditions change. All you need to do is move the cab-mounted controller. You can even raise the row cleaners up and out of the way when you’re not using them.The CleanSweep controller is connected to dual air cylinders on each row. The air pressure comes from a robust compressor or tank, or you can use 20/20 AirForce® as an air source.
Better counts add up to better yield.
To get accurate counts of the seeds you’re planting, you rely on your seed tube sensors. But OEM optical sensors aren’t very reliable in dusty conditions or near tires that are kicking up debris. They can report dust and debris as seeds. Then you get bad counts. Then your yield suffers because you’re not making needed adjustments as you plant.
Time Lapse Truth
These time lapse photos show how seeds slow down when they make contact with the seed tube.In the left tube, the seed has hit the sensor and the strobe light exposes its winding path down the tube. That seed spends .11 seconds in the seed tube which translates to 11 inches from the previous seed.In the right tube, the seed has a direct path to the seed trench and only spends .07 seconds in the seed tube, and is the correct distance from the previous seed - seven inches.
Fix two big planter problems easily, quickly, and inexpensively.
The BullsEye Seed Tube gives seeds the most direct path to the seed trench. The smooth interior and recessed sensor eye eliminates any interference that can slow the seed’s descent.In other seed tubes, the sensor can interfere sending the seed into gyrations that slow it causing gaps and misplaced seeds. The BullsEye Seed Tube moves the sensor eye behind a ledge that makes it impossible for the seed to nick the sensor. It is a straight shot to the trench.BullsEye® delivers better spacing and longer life. Their sensor offsets won’t snag seeds like other tubes can. And with their tungsten carbide tips, they last far longer than other tubes so your replacement costs will plummet. BullsEye works with 1/2” or 3/4” sensor eyes.
Firmer is better...After all these years.
The Keeton Seed Firmer was our original product. The technologies we’ve developed since have taken precision planting (planting with precision) to then-unimaginable levels. But this simple, ingenious device still makes a major contribution to yield.Seeds don’t always land right in the bottom of the trench where they belong. But, with its unique, in-the-trench design, the Keeton Seed Firmer is the only thing that gently firms those seeds to the bottom of the V. So the depth is even. The seed-to-soil contact is correct. The germination is uniform. The yield is optimum.There’s a Firmer for virtually every planter or drill, with single or dual applicator tubes. Put one on each of your row units and watch your seeds do their very best.
