8906 - 6 Row Belt Planter

High Speed Planter

Plant at speeds around 6 MPH instead of the typical 3 MPH of conventional planters. This increased speed allows you to plant 13.1 ac/hr. With the speed doubled, 157 acres can be planted in a 12 hour day, compared to just 78 acres with the conventional 6 row planter.

Plant Stand vs Spacing

Typical Industry Standard: 80% – 85% Plant Stand

Achieving a 5% gain on 1,000 acres results in an additional 50 acres of plant stand.

50 acres * 450 cwt/acre = 22,500 cwt

22,500 cwt * $10/cwt = $225,000 Increase

Plant by Weight, Not Seed Spacing

Take the guessing game out of your operation. Plant the seed per acre to get your plant population rather than figuring out the math for seed spacing. Ask your salesman more about this.

Handles Whole Seed or Cut Seed

The belt planter is designed to accurately place seeds of any profile, whether whole or cut seed, ensuring even crop emergence and optimal yield. While it can handle a wide range of seed sizes—whether it’s 1.5 oz or 2.5 oz—a consistent and well-cut seed profile is still key to achieving the best plant stand and maximum yield.
