True Depth Hydraulic

TRUE SEED DEPTH CONTROL. AUTOMATICALLY.

True Depth hydraulic down force removes the guesswork from down force settings and ensures a consistent seed depth is maintained for optimum emergence and root development. During conventional or no-till planting, gauge wheel load is constantly measured, and down force or up lift is automatically and instantly adjusted for each individual row. A large diameter hydraulic cylinder rod and cast load link make True Depth more durable than competitive systems and keeps cost of ownership low.

TRUE. BLUE. Advantage.

Key Benefits

  • Large diameter hydraulic cylinder rod provides the durability necessary for rocky fields and higher planting speeds
  • Rebuildable hydraulic cylinders for lower cost of operation
  • For long life and wear, the load links are made of cast metal and have fully potted and sealed electronics
  • Clean operation and easy maintenance by using a single hydraulic control valve per row
  • Reduces by 30% the effort necessary to lift split row units on a 3605 split row planter; reduces operator fatigue and setup time

True Depth display

  • On Blue Drive planters, the True Depth controls and mapping information is integrated into the Blue Vantage display
  • On non-Blue Drive planters, equipped with a dedicated 7” display (no mapping)

True Target Depth

True Depth offers lift assist on a split row planter, making it easier to raise your push row units for storage and when switching from beans to corn. This decreases the effort required to lock-up the row units by 30%, reducing operator fatigue and adjustment time.
