YIELD IS IN THE DETAILS.

Before AirForce After AirForce

You know that too much down force produces sidewall compaction, uneven emergence and poor root development. Too little down force and you lose depth. Either way, your yield suffers.

Side-b y-side tests show the yield advantage of proper down force (at $5.00/bushel)

But, until now, you couldn’t tell what level of down force was right for each field, for each soil type, for each tillage condition, for each moisture condition or for full versus nearly empty seed boxes.

Correct vs. Too Much Down Force

Now, there’s a way for you to automatically optimize down force for any soil, any weight, in real time, all the time. It’s called 20/20 AirForce^™, and it’s new from Precision Planting.

Down Force Yield

(Bu/Acre)

Drawing on the 20/20 SeedSense^® system’s measurement of ground contact and total row unit weight, 20/20 AirForce uses an uplift airbag to increase or decrease the down force exerted by your springs or down force airbag. It automatically adjusts the air pressure to press or lift, as needed, to maintain constant, ideal down force regardless of the soil conditions.

Field 1: Heavy Soil

150# 195.71 300# 180.86 425# 152.58 Field 2: Med/Light Soil

20/20 AirForce mounts easily onto _{AirForce applying down force} most Kinze or John Deere planters. Just bolt the air tank/compressor to your bar, bolt the airbags to your parallel arms, and connect your 20/20 SeedSense system.

150# 154.96 300# 144.99 425# 136.51 Yield Advantage $49 - $215/ Acre

Then plant with confidence that the down force you’re applying is the right amount to produce the best yield.
