Flexible frame allows for consistent seed depth
Producers are more attuned to the importance of seed depth than ever before. A uniform-looking field is not the only goal; yield is too. Proven yield penalties across the world range from 5 percent to 25 percent, depending on depth variance.
The H500 and H500F feature diagonal mainframes and wing flexing – helping openers maintain their depth over uneven terrain.
Stabilize nitrogen retention with separate fertilizer placement (SFP)
The SFP opener features:
- Single-disk blade slices through the soil at a five-degree angle
- Opener is adjusted via active hydraulic-down pressure
- Depth gauging is accomplished at the opener
- Closing wheel ensures fertilizer stays where it is applied
- Ultra-low soil, moisture, and residue disturbance, plus the cast closing wheel, are able to lock in dry, liquid or gaseous fertilizer.
Reduce transport height
Transporting large machines on public roads can be a little stressful. Passing motorists, mailboxes, overhead lines, and trees can all contribute to potential hazards.
With so much to focus on, the H500 Air Hoe Drill operator should not have to worry about openers engaging the pavement when lowering a machine to clear an overhead obstacle.
With the optional transport height reduction feature, the operator does not need to worry. This handy feature can also serve to set the height for storage inside.
