UNIFORM EMERGENCE AND PRECISE PLACEMENT

Ensuring the highest yield potential begins with a seeding system that guarantees healthy and uniform emergence. From the moment the first five active – hydraulic, ground-following opener was created in 1991, SeedMaster has been perfecting their technology with uncompromising goal of precisely delivering each seed to maximize germination. The opener is low maintenance and built to withstand a variety of terrain and soil types including rolling hills, clay, sand, and rocky land. Each opener works independently with on-row packing and maintenance-free pivot points.
