Uniforce hydraulic down-pressure for no till farming

Hydraulic Down-Pressure System: We introduced the UniForce in 2016, and it’s a big game changer for those who have ever watched the openers on their John Deere drill bounce on uneven terrain. Also, there will be less need to weigh down your equipment with suitcase weights, which stresses the frame, hinge points, etc. over time! This unique, hydraulic down-pressure system applies consistent pressure to each opener in each row, which leads to consistent seed furrow depths and to uniform crop emergence. No more of those late maturing plants!

Thompson wheels for no till drills

Spoked (“spiked”) Closing Wheels: Our Thompson Wheels shatter sidewalls for the best root penetration, which often times leads to faster, more uniform crop growth. Faster emergence, too, since the soil isn’t overpacked above the seed.

Mojo wire for use on Keetons in no till seeding

Wire Stiffeners For Keeton Seed Firmers: The Keeton seed firmer was designed to apply pressure where it’s needed in no till farming – at the bottom of the seed furrow (a big plus in no till farming, since the soils have structure and pressure from the surface down is less effective, and often overpacks the sidewalls). Our Mojo wire can add up to 5 times the pressure and helps to improve the self-cleaning action of the Keeton.

Ninja seed bounce flap for no till planting

Seed Bounce Flaps (Tabs): The standard seed flaps that come with John Deere 50 series, 60 series, 90 series no till drills are designed to keep seeds from bouncing out of the furrows during planting. But because of their straight design, they leave a triangular gap in the soil, from which seeds do bounce out. That’s why we invented the Ninja Seed Bounce Flap, with a forward-design bend that helps close the gap and deflects the seeds downward into the bottom of the furrow. The Ninja flap is also flexible, and won’t break off like other designs.

While some manufacturers of farming equipment sell drills that they designate as “no till,” most of it isn’t actually all that effective for no till planting. (The same is true for planters.)

The primary exception is John Deere, which makes these no till drills:

  • John Deere series 50 drills
  • John Deere series 60 drills
  • John Deere series 90 drills

But even these John Deere OEM drills have plenty of room for improvements. We’ve taken on that challenge and designed durable, effective, easy-to-use parts, attachments, add-ons, and equipment for no till drills.

Above, and in the diagram below, are some of our top-selling products for no till drills.
