Precision corn planting calls for an
Atlis-Chalmers 500 Series Unit Planter!
The 500 Planter-means uniformity! In seed spacing,
seed depth, soil firmness, fertilizer application.
Whether you drill or hill-drop, see how the 500 licks
the seed-bounce problem! You pick seed opening
equipment to fit your crop and soil. Get your corn
in right with an. A-C 500 Unit Planter!
