Features Precision Disk 40 available from York Equipment Inc, Nebraska
MASSIVE, FLEXIBLE FRAME
Openers enter no-till ground efficiently due to the strength of the massive frame of Precision Disk air drills.
Strong Precision Disk Frame
- Consistent toolbar height is achieved thanks to walkbeam design and flotation tires
- Easy adjustments to row openers is achieved due to an open design
- Easy transport is achieved by over-center folding wings
Flexible Rank Down Pressure
- To optimize seed placement in a wide variety of no-till residue conditions, you can change down pressure of each opener from 250 - 510 lbs. (113.4 - 231.3 kg)
- Change down pressure by rank for separate depth applications
- Change row spacings by locking up individual ranks
SUPERIOR SEED PLACEMENT
The Precision Disk single disk no-till disk blades are 22.5 inches (571.5 mm) in diameter – the largest in the industry – to effectively cut through debris and leave a clean furrow for optimum seed-to-soil contact and even germination.
Disk Opener
- Residue is cut (not pushed) due to 5-degree disk angle, which also reduces sidewall compaction
- Accurate and consistent seeding depth is achieved thanks to durable steel scraper that creates a shelf on the side of the trench for seed – and it guards against plugging
- Long life disk due to double bevel edge and durable Earth Metal® construction
Seed Depth Adjustment
- Change depth easily and safely from the front or back of the machine
- A simple depth control lever easily places seed at the appropriate depth, from 1/4 - 3 1/2 in., adjustable in quarter-inch increments
Seed Tube
- Seed is softly released onto the seed shelf while the air carrying the seed vents into the atmosphere, thanks to an angled seed tube design
- Seed tube flattens out to fit behind the scraper into the narrow seed trench
Packing System
- Highly effective packing system features a spring-loaded, smooth-crown closing wheel that optimizes furrow closure while it sheds dirt
- Plant more types of crops efficiently due to three packing pressure settings of 30, 45 and 60 lbs. (13.6, 20.4 and 27.2 kgs)
- Pack directly over the seed row, or up to 2 in. (5 cm) to the side by adjusting the closing/press wheel position
- Optional smooth-surface wheel mounted in line with seed shelf uses down pressure to maximize seed-to-soil contact
