2024 Precision Planting Delta Force

Running a single downforce setting across an entire field causes yield loss because the setting is rarely correct. DeltaForce is an automated row by row downforce control system that measures and adjusts downforce every time there is variability in your field, so your crops will thrive for optimal yields.

Equipped for

• Soybeans

• Corn

• Cotton

• Peanuts

• Sugarbeets

• Sunflowers

Downforce on the planter is one of the most important settings on the planter to be adjusted for different zones and conditions in a field. Thankfully there is a tool available to address the common issues with visibility and downforce control – DeltaForce.

DeltaForce replaces the springs or airbags on a planter with hydraulic cylinders and load cells that measure how much weight is being carried on the row unit gauge wheels 200 times per second and keep it consistent. The operator sets a weight that should be carried on the gauge wheels, and DeltaForce does the rest.

Your row unit needs the right amount of downforce. Not too heavy, not too light, just like the story of Goldilocks. With the power of automated downforce control, you’ll gain consistent and optimal furrows for the best root development, which in turn offers ideal nutrient and water uptake for the seed.

DeltaForce cylinders maintain the same weight on the gauge wheels of every row, even across the variation of a field or from equipment. Getting the seed to the bottom of the trench ensures proper root development and consistent emergence, which in turn, increases yield.
