Introducing Furrow Command for Precision Disk Series Air Drills

Furrow Command™ for Precision Disk Air Drills increase the accuracy and versatility you need to get the most out of every seed in a variety of crops and conditions. Furrow Command helps operators consistently maintain seed depth, regardless of terrain to boost productivity and yield potential — and make the most of every moment in the field.

• Furrow Command advanced technology helps maintain consistent ground following and seed depth, even in tough conditions, for higher yield potential.

• In-cab feedback, like downforce percent ground contact and mapping, are easy to set with Furrow Command.

AFS Furrow Command downforce automation adds to the accuracy of the Precision Disk air drill’s patented parallel-link row-unit by helping to maintain consistent ground contact in changing terrain and field conditions.

Accurate seed placement with forward-facing seed tubes that slow the seed down and help ensure it stays in the trench - whether seeding canola a half-inch deep or soybeans 3 inches deep.

Downforce Automation with Case IH Precision Technology

Furrow Command, available for Precision Disk 550T, 550, and 500DS, helps you make informed decisions on setting downforce via gauge wheel sensors that provide in-cab feedback. You can also adjust downforce automatically while traveling through the field, allowing the drill to effortlessly deal with changing field terrain and soil conditions and also maintain positive contact with the ground. This ensures the row unit is always achieving its set depth to optimize your fields.

• With Furrow Command, you can:

• Simplify your operation – There’s no need to change settings for different conditions to achieve seed depth consistency.

• Improve depth control - Adjust the hydraulic pressure for each frame section independently.

• Reduce component wear – Feedback from the system allows you to minimize the force required to maintain gauge wheel contact with the ground.

Gain Efficiencies and Improve Yield Potential

Through our Customer Driven Product Design (CDPD) process, Case IH has engineered an agronomically designed row unit that cuts residue; opens a high-quality, uniform seed trench; delivers the seed perfectly; and closes the trench better than any row unit in the marketplace. With the Precision Disk 500 double shoot (DS) air drill, you can add to those benefits saving time by seeding and fertilizing simultaneously. The Precision Disk 550 series air drill makes further advances to the parallel-link row unit design, offering greater seed placement accuracy than ever before.
