As seed technologies continue to advance and help improve yield, the cost of each seed that goes into the ground is becoming more expensive. Over hundreds or thousands of acres, overplanting takes dollars straight from your bottom line. SeedCommand, with the AutoSwath feature for planters, helps reduce costly overplanting on end rows, point rows, terraces and waterways – saving you money and valuable time. SeedCommand also allows growers to map variety/hybrid locations and record split-planter operations for better record keeping and decision making.
AutoSwath™ for Planters
The power of INSIGHT™ SeedCommand comes from its AutoSwath feature that automatically controls SureVac, SureStop & Tru Count’s planter clutches. SureVac, SureStop & Tru Count clutches disengage the seed meter drive from the planter transmission, enabling planter sections to be shut off without raising the planter.
Using GPS and a coverage map, SeedCommand’s AutoSwath feature automatically turns planter sections off as they enter already covered areas or areas marked not to plant. When each planter section encounters field areas that need planted, AutoSwath automatically turns the sections on. AutoSwath will even automatically shut off planting through waterways (sub-boundary required). All this automation without ever raising the planter!
