UniForce Hydraulic Down-Pressure System For John Deere 50 / 60 / 90 Drills

Uniform Pressure On Every Opener, Throughout Its Full Stroke 

As anyone who has ever used a John Deere 50 series, 60 series, or 90 series drill can attest, there is a serious design flaw – almost no down-stroke! To compensate, you will have to crank the pressure way up, which causes a slew of other problems (excessive sidewall compaction, extra weight needed on the frame, and more).

What if you could use your John Deere drill and get uniform pressure on every single opener, throughout its full stroke? Now, wouldn’t that be great? Well, you can, thanks to our UniForce Hydraulic Down Pressure System.

Why We Designed The UniForce Hydraulic Down-Pressure System
John Deere 50 / 60 / 90 drill openers drills come with springs, and springs bounce and have very little down stroke because the spring is nearly parallel to the arm. Unless the field you are planting is laser level (which, let’s face it, few are), the openers on the drill won’t work correctly. Even the smallest depressions give these openers fits as the spring relaxes a bit and the openers skate out, failing to cut the straw and making very shallow furrows.

The fantastic news is that hydraulics do not bounce! In fact, we have tested the UniForce by leaving one opener on a John Deere drill with its original spring. It’s amazing how much the row with the OEM spring bounces, particularly when compared with the smooth and steady performance of the rows that have the UniForce Hydraulic Down-Pressure System on them. Plus, the UniForce system makes much better use of your frame weight, requiring less ballast (less ballast equals less frame stress and breakage).

Uniform pressure throughout the range of opener travel means better cutting, less hairpinning, less sidewall compaction, and more accurate, consistent seed furrow depth. In other words, better crop yields!

  What The UniForce Hydraulic Down-Pressure System Can Do
These are highlights of what the UniForce Hydraulic Down-Pressure System can do:

• help increase crop yields
• exert uniform pressure on all openers
• obtain consistent seed furrow depth
• reduce or eliminate hairpinning
• lessen sidewall compaction
• easily cut through straw and stalks
• work effectively on steep terraces and swales, even at high speeds
• allow faster ground speed with the same ballast, or stay at the same ground speed and reduce or eliminate ballast

  Unique Features Of The UniForce Hydraulic Down-Pressure System
These unique features make the UniForce Hydraulic Down-Pressure System stand out:

• greater upstroke range on openers than OEM
• 3-year warranty on cylinders and other components to be leak free
• large ½ inch drop hoses allow oil to move quickly in and out of cylinders
• simple adjustment of pressure with a single knob (or upgrade to our in-cab control)
