  • Floating shoe provides consistent seed depth, adjustable for different field conditions.
  • Short seed drop assures the best seed spacing accuracy possible among the planters of this type.
  • Option of fertilizer and insecticide application during planting.
  • Positive bowl feed system maintains even seed bowl height, allows more uniform feeding of cups with fewer skips and doubles.
  • The planter forms the ridges for potatoes independently.
  • Mechanical or hydraulic drive of planting sections.
  • Wider inter-row spacing facilitates better formation of tubers and reduces the risk of disease related to leaf canopy closure.
