Bring Your Best.

With features like 30+ degrees of wing flex, hydraulic weight transfer, bulk seed, and then finish it off with the latest and greatest row unit technology on the market, and you can head to planting season with confidence that you brought your best.

Field Proven

With decades of 3 pt. mounted rigid, folding and stacking toolbar experience, the VertiCORE™ Planter Platform is built for the long haul.

Hitch & Go

The VertiCORE™ features a massive dual hitch design capable of CAT 3 and 4N hitching. This allows quick tractor swaps and hookups with no worry of your tractor hitch Category.

Stout.

Dual 1/2″ thick 7×7 tubing and full depth hinges, combine to make the strongest and most durable planter toolbar on the market. Weight is distributed across the machine where you need it to keep your high-speed planter units in the ground, no matter the conditions.

Precision Depth Control

Rugged adjustable gauge wheels and tires are included on each machine to accurately manage operating height.

Stay Safe out There

High visibility LED safety lighting and marking are standard on all CORE toolbars. You may be the biggest thing on the road, but you will still be glad you have bright and visible front and rear flashers and marking.

Smart Design

Integrated frame-vacuum, simple wiring, and incorporated electrical and hydraulic routing features, eliminates the mess common to many high-tech planters.

No Guesswork

Engineered design and accommodates all of your electronic components, making install possible with simple hand tools. No more designing, fabricating, welding or painting to mount all of your technology.

Easy Access

With the end user and serviceability in mind, Hawkins engineers placed all electronic and hydraulic components in an easily accessible area with plenty of room to work. No contortionist certification needed here.

Keep it Clean

No planter is complete without a fertilizer system, and unfortunately you are usually left to MacGyver yourself a routing plan. The Hawkins VertiCORE™ solves that problem with extra mounting brackets across the entire machine to attach your fertilizer hoses to keep your machine tidy and serviceable.

Flexibility

With 30+ degrees of flex, the wings of the Hawkins VertiCORE™ easily follows the contours of your fields, keeping your row units right where they need to be, even in uneven terrain.

Trailed Performance

With 30+ degrees of flex in the 3-section frame, the Hawkins VertiCORE™ rivals the flexibility of many pull-type planters on the market today.

Dual Threat

Combine the flexibility of the frame with the simple hydraulic weight transfer system, and you can be sure you aren’t just following the land, you are imposing your will on it.

Hydraulic Weight Transfer

Quit worrying about yield loss from excessive center frame compaction with the VertiCORE’s™ integrated hydraulic weight transfer system. The easy to set and easy to operate system allows you to experience the benefits of bulk-seed and high-speed planting without worrying about yield loss, inconsistent planting and reduced plant vigor.

Constant Contact

Using the weight of the center to apply down force on the wings the toolbar keeps the wing row units in constant ground contact, keeping consistent seed depth placement across the entire width of the planter. This is especially helpful in No-Till and high-speed planting situations.
