Planter Add-Ons From J.S. Ag Innovations

Planter Add-Ons From J.S. Ag Innovations PLANTING EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 23-1-30 You can improve the performance of your Deere 7000 or newer or Kinze planter with these two new add-ons from J.S. Ag Innovations, Ewing, Mo. The "Seed-To-Soil Inforcer" closing disc provides excellent seed-to-soil contact by closing the seed trench even in adverse conditions. The discs first crumble both sidewalls of the seed trench inward with a lift tear action, thus eliminating sidewall compaction and open seed slots. A steel arm attaches to the factory V closing wheel bracket and pivots on the existing closing wheel bracket axle while holding the closing disc in the lead and trailing with the factory press wheels. This allows the press wheels to firm the loose soil and act as gauge wheels controlling the depth of the closing disc. Closing disc depth and downpressure are fully adjustable. In no-till, the amount of downpressure required to close the seed trench is significantly less than with standard V press wheels or cast iron wheels, according to the company. Sells for $140 per row. The "Seed-To-Soil-Inforcer" seed shoe bolts in place of the seed tube guard on Deere 7000 and newer and Kinze planters. The shoe side plates hold the top 1/2 in. of the seed furrow open by keeping dry dirt or other debris from falling in before the seed is placed properly. It also keeps the seed tube directly centered over the V furrow for proper seed placement. Sells for $19 per row. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, J.S.
