The performance of finger meters vary when planting a range of seed sizes and shapes, leading to skips, multiples, and lost yield. PrecisionMeter uses an adjustable brush to better singulate a range of seed sizes and shapes. When planting with PrecisionMeters from Precision Planting, you can have confidence in your singulation performance.
Improve Planter Performance Where it Counts-In the Meter
Ordinary finger meters have a hard time singulating, especially with a wide variety of seeds. They’ll miss one, then grab two, resulting in skips and doubles. That not only wastes seeds, but it also cuts your yield.
Because the components all mesh perfectly, Precision Meters hold one seed at a time, then release it. They’re engineered and built to do it again and again. You’ll see fewer skips and doubles – and higher yield.
If you don’t need a whole new meter, you can still improve your spacing with Precision Meter belts, backing plates, or finger sets. Your Precision Planting dealer can test your meters and recommend upgrades.
SureFire Seed Belt
The seed belt in your finger meter is often ignored. The belt has a very important job. After the fingers have singulated a seed, the belt has to deliver that seed to the seed tube. The seed needs to be released consistently so that each seed follows the same trajectory down the tube. Current belts hand off the seed on the right, center, or left side of the seed tube.
