Accurate & Precise
In Reduced-Till
Fields,
White 6100 planters have
gained a well deserved reputation
for planting with incredibly accu
rate spacing at precisely the right
depth.
Our short 18" aerodynamically
designed seed drop and indepen
dently acting walking beam gauge -
wheels see to it. And our low
pressure, air metering system and
edge drop seed disc singulates
seeds to avoid doubles or skips.
Best of all, the row splitter
Too.
