Planter monitor
Ag Leader Technology, Inc. has recently added a planter monitoring function to the SeedCommand planter control system.
SeedCommand now tracks and logs average population while monitoring seed spacing.
A colour bar graph and population display provide this information to operators in real time.
For the 2008 growing season, Ag Leader’s planter monitoring function is available to replace Kinze KPM I, II or III planter monitors. For the 2009 growing season, planter monitoring functionality will be available for John Deere, White, Case and all other planters with Dickey-John seed tube sensors.
