SeedCommand provides complete control over planting operations from seeding populations that vary based on planting prescriptions that vary based on planting prescriptions to an AutoSwath feature that automatically turns planter sections on/off based on your field map. Bottom Line- Lower seed costs during planting season and improve yield potential at harvest time.

AutoSwath for planters controls planter clutches to automatically turn planter sections on/off based on field maps and already planted areas. Reduce overplanting and increase yield potential at the same time. Depending on field size and shape, customers' seed cost savings range from 3-12%.

Hybrid/Variety Mapping- SeedCommand records planting operations in real-time, mapping the location of each hybrid/variety planted. Map and plan application events and view yield maps at harvest time for more accurate field observations.

Variable Rate Planting- Control seed costs and improve yield potential across the entire field with variable rate planting. SeedCommand varies the seeding rate based on prescriptions maps to match seeding rates to soil potential. SeedCommand supports direct control of PWM and motorized servo hydraulic valves, as well as kinze and Rawson AccuRate hydraulic drives.

Planter Monitoring- SeedCommand offers complete planter monitoring functions to replace existing planter monitors. SeedCommand will monitor and log average population and seed spacing. A color bar graph and population display provide this information in real-time. Planter monitoring functionality is available for all major planter brands including KINZE, John Deere, White, and Case.

Split Planting- By programming the display for split planting, SeedCommand lets the operator record different hybrids/varieties in different sides of the planter. SeedCommand will track where each seed type is planted making it easy to compare and log side-by-side performance of each seed type at harvest time.

Real Life Benefits

• Lower seed costs by eliminating double planting at end rows, point rows and around terraces.

• Makes following the row at harvest easier on end/point rows.

• Prevents yield loss due to lodging and nutrient competition in double-planted areas.

• Improves planting productivity by eliminating the need to slow down to accurately raise/lower the planter at end rows.

• Makes night planting easier by eliminating the need to watch for end rows.

• Save insecticide on planters with granular boxes driven by the planter transmission.

• Documents refuge acres for GMO crops.

• Records valuable population information including total seeds planted and average seeds planted per acre.

• Effortless population control without leaving the tractor seat.

• Reduces cab clutter by replacing other monitors.

SureVac Electric Row Shutoff

Introducing the patent-pending SureVac electric row shutoff! This row-by-row control device provides growers an easily-installed, zero-maintenance solution to reduce seed costs and increase yield potential. Using GPS, the SeedCommand or compatible planter control system communicates with SureVac to turn planter sections on/off based on field maps and already-planted areas.

SureVac is designed for John Deere Pro-Series™ XP row units, but is also compatible with any John Deere vacuum seed meter manufactured within the last 20 years.  Compatible seed disks include:

• John Deere 30-cell corn seed disk

• John Deere 40-cell corn seed disk

• John Deere Soybean seed disk

• Precision Planting eSet® vacuum disk

How Does it Work?

SureVac Stops seed flow by cutting off the vacuum at the top of the seed disk. Planting is stopped and seeds fall back into the seed meters seed pool. When the shutoff device is pulled away from the seed disk, vacuum is restored and planting continues as normal.

Key Features

• Simple installation- Remove manufacture vacuum cover and replace with SureVac.

• Electric Operation- Low Electrical demand (1/3 amp per shutoff), Easily supported by tractors standard electrical system.

• Durable Design- Built to withstand tough field conditions. Maintenance Free

SureVac Setup

Planter sections can be controlled row-by-row, or in two-row sections. A SureVac device is required for each row unit you wish to control. SeedCommand will support up to 36 sections of shutoff control. Visit us for more information on specific planter set-up!
