2017 Best New Products
First Place
SeedMaster – Booth 312 Manitoba Room
SeedMaster’s new Tunable Tower offers farmers new access to metering and distribution data and a way to respond to it. Another SeedMaster advantage to make sure you’re making the most out of your input investment and growing the best crop you can. Working in conjunction with the XeedSystem, individual seeds are actually counted as they’re distributed down they’re individual runs. The Tunable Tower has a centre cone that can be adjusted to balance product flow if variances are noted on the tablet screen in the cab of the tractor. All of this means that valuable seed and fertilizer are properly and efficiently distributed and placed in the ground. Tunable Tower technology means a smarter use of the inputs, a consistent and rigorous stand, and more money in the wallet. We’ve got an active demo of the Tunable Tower system in our booth. Stop by for a demo!
