Make the Most of Short Seasons
The Case IH Early Riser Planter row unit was designed with agronomics in mind. Many patented features mean accurate in-row spacing, excellent soil-to-seed contact, and earlier, uniform emergence. Watch the video to see how the Early Riser Planter provides these agronomic benefits. Clean Seed Trench
- Leading edge offset openers slice through residue and hard soil.
- Furrow forming point forms the clean V-shaped seed trench
- Seed protection shoe acts as a retaining wall, preventing loose soil from falling into the trench before seed.
- Reduced inner diameter gauge wheel Tires allow displaced soil to move up and out to the sides of the trench for less sidewall compaction.
- Better gauge wheel weight distribution carries the row unit/planter weight away from the edge of the seed trench wall to avoid compression at the base of the trench for more robust roots and plants.
- Inverted furrow closing disks replace soil from both sides so moist soil covers the seed, improving seed-to-soil contact and proper soil pressure.
