Precision - Adaptable Two-Stage Closing System
Clean. Create. [Close].
Fundamentally Different
FurrowForce is a 2-stage closing system. In the first stage, notched wheels work to close the seed furrow from the bottom up, fracturing to eliminate air pockets, even in extreme no-till conditions where traditional closing systems struggle. In the second stage, stitch wheels carry weight on them to firm the soil. This consistent firming is especially beneficial behind spring tillage where the seed environment is at risk of drying out.
Managing Soil Density
Managing soil density to maintain moisture is a key component in creating the best environment for the seed. If the soil density over the seed is loose, the soil will dry out easily and moisture that is needed for quick germination is quickly lost. Too compact? Uneven emergence is ahead.
