No-till planter specialist Dave Dum shares how to properly adjust and maintain some of the key no-till planter parts that will help accomplish a better stand and lead to higher yields.
If seed isn't planted correctly, no-tillers can expect to lose yield before the crop even emerges from the ground. Achieving high-yielding crops begins with a planter that is properly equipped, maintained and adjusted for field conditions.
Whether your no-till planter is ready to go this spring depends on whether you have the right attachments or make the proper adjustments to get seed placed uniformly at the correct depth and population.

New row units on the White 8000 series planters come with enhanced features to improve yur no-tilling accuracy, reliability and usability. These items include new hoppers, seed-meter design, seed-trench openers, gauge-wheel arms, closing-wheel adjustment and overall accessibility.
