farm406 12 Enhanced row-unit boosts yield potential, while added capacity improves in-field efficiency. Complete with greater tank capacity, a superior parallel- link row unit, and new productivity-enhancing features, the Precision Disk™ 550 air drill is designed to boost yield potential in a variety of crops and tillage practices. "We continue to hear from growers — they need added capacity to get more seeding done in a day," said Trent Nowosad, Case IH marketing manager for seeding equipment. "Case IH engineered the Precision Disk 550 air drill to meet this demand, with agronomically designed features to boost producers' boom lines." Improved Seed Placement Built on Agronomic Design™ principles, the Precision Disk 550 series row unit maintains an industry-leading parallel- link design with new features and enhancements to boost performance. A new closing system with indexable angle adjustments deliver effective seed trench closing, no maer the conditions — from conventional to no-till. Angle adjustments are simple, with indexed seings from 0 to 13 degrees to match your fields. Additionally, a range of gauge wheel widths and styles accommodate different field and crop conditions. "With this new row unit, every single detail is designed to optimize seed placement and deliver unmatched stand establishment," Nowosad said. "Even when Mother Nature isn't on your side, Precision Disk 550 air drills provide peace of mind that plants will get their best start possible." e Case IH parallel-link row unit design is known for ensuring consistent coulter depth and accurate seed placement. An exclusive variable down-pressure spring holds each row unit in contact with the ground, while a forward- facing seed tube helps minimize seed bounce. Plus, operators can adjust to changing field conditions on the go with standard in-cab hydraulic down pressure control. Productivity-boosting tank enhancements Greater capacity is key to geing more seeding done in a day. e Precision Disk 550T air drill offers a tank capacity of up to 140 bushels to help operators maximize tendering and seeding productivity. A low-profile, rail-guided tank lid ensures an effective seal and allows for easy access. Plus, high-flotation tire options accommodate these greater tank capacities and reduce compaction, creating further agronomic efficiencies for operators while out in the field. • Case IH Introduces New Precision Disk 550 Series Air Drill innovative tools & equipment
