White engineers have designed an all-new meter ing unit to assure in-row spacing accuracy and reliability. The new system utilizes the force of gravity and air pressure, eliminating mechanical fingers, fluted seed cups and high speed pneumatic hoses or plates, as required by other designs. The planter allows seed to fall naturally from hopper to metering disc to discharge chute. Seed can move into the ground with a minimum of bouncing, ricochet, and other abuse which can cause erratic spacing. Such gentle handling assures that a max imum number of seeds go in to the ground in ready-to germinate condition. Air supply on six- and eight-row versions is developed by a simple, effi cient, hydraulically driven central blower (optional on four-row). A pump/reser voir on the Seed Boss easily connects to the PTO.

The monitoring system on the new planter is easy to read and designed to cut down time. The White Farm SMI monitor is standard on every “Seed Boss.” A light flashes on the monitor, row by row, as each seed passes a photocell in the seed chute. A hom and light activate im mediately upon malfunction. Operators need not worry about hopper levels, because the monitor will note “failure to feed” instantly. In White’s design, gauge wheels carry the weight of the planter plus some frame weight, and they utilize this weight to gauge and firm the soil, remaining in contact with the soil despite terrain irregularity. An advantage of White’s compensating system is that the linkage always divides the downward firming pressure into two equal forces on each side of the row. This is particularly im portant in rough, minimum tilled soils. The press wheels operate on a “constant force” princi- HUTTON FARM EQUIPMENT Mahaffey, PA 15757 814-277-5504 performance pie, despite terrain ir regularities. When a wheel presses against the soil, the rubber tire gathers loose dirt around the furrow, then pin ches the sides of the furrow closed. The “pinch” is at the sides of the trench, with the soil on the top left loose for unobstructed germination and growth. Pressure is row adjustable from 10-80 pounds. Surrounding the planter row units is a new frame/transport design which makes the planter ef fective m the field and easy to maneuver, transport and store.
