The NG Plus row unit is durable, reliable, and easy to use. Its many noteworthy features help bring you accurate results from the seeds you plant-- for many years to come.
1. Disengagement of metering box
Removal of a single lynch pin will disengage the seeding of the unit, adding to the versatility of the planter unit.
2. Heavy-duty parallel linkage
The parallel linkage is longer than the conventional linkage, ensuring a smooth ride through the field and reducing the bounce
of the unit.
3. Safety clutch
The mounting bracket of the metering unit has a roller bearing with an audible
safety clutch in case of blockage. This optional clutch also absorbs the stress on the
drive and makes the seed disc run smoother, resulting in increased accuracy.
4. Depth control knob
Easy to use handwheel sets the planting depth by adjusting the height of the gauge wheels, and the setting is visible on the adjustment scale.
5. Stabilizer springs
Sturdy springs absorb shock and help to stabilize the unit in rough terrain. Optional heavy-duty down pressure springs also available.
6. Heavy-duty double disc opener
The double disc openers has the thickest blade (4mm.) in the industry, the heaviest hub (cast iron), and double-row bearing. This results in longer life, less replacement, and less maintenance. The powerful disc slices the soil, opening a straight seed trench. A firming point attached to the frame and positioned ahead of the seed tube also acts as a disc scraper.
7. Independent large depth gauge wheels
The gauge wheels are engineered with an equalizing rocker bar, allowing the wheels
to move up and down independently while maintaining a stable center point.
This stable point coincides with the seed tube drop, assuring accurate depth
control even in cloddy or rocky conditions. Narrow or double gauge wheels are
also available. Optional gauge wheel scraper can be mounted for sticky soil.
