When Dalton Knobloch decided to upgrade his planter, he made a decision that saved him $100,000. Instead of trading in his existing planter for a new or used model, he bought a cheap, used 24-row White planter; stripped off the row units; and replaced them with Precision Planting’s Ready Row Units.

“You can get a used planter pretty cheap – you just have to find one with a good toolbar,” says the farmer from West Bend, Iowa, who is also a Precision Planting dealer. “We retrofit the White planter for $180,000 with Precision Planting products, so we have a high-tech planter, that’s more high tech than a brand new one, and saved $100,000 compared to buying new.”

Precision Planting started marketing its Ready Row Units last year with this concept in mind – that farmers can save money by retrofitting an existing planter and end up with a planter equipped with more technology.

Looking at 12-, 16-, 24-, and 36-row planters, Baker researched the cost of buying a new planter vs. retrofitting Precision Planting technology onto an existing planter.

When you’re buying a new planter, he found that 73% of the price covers the iron, toolbar, hydraulic hoses, tires, central fill tanks, and markers, leaving only 27% to invest in new technology. “In other words, 73¢ out of every dollar it cost you to trade is used to rebuy something that you already own,” says Baker. “We believe by retrofitting technology onto a planter you already have is the lowest cost way to get a new planter.”

Here’s an example of what those numbers look like: An average 24-row, high-speed planter costs $315,200 (using numbers from Harvest International, AGCO, Case IH, and John Deere). If you’re retrofitting a 24-row planter to high speed with Precision Planting systems, the average cost is $85,100. If you’re retrofitting a 24-row toolbar with Ready Row Units and high-speed technology, the cost is $135,800. The technology calculated in this example includes 20|20, vSet, vDrive, DeltaForce, SpeedTube, and CleanSweep.

For Baker’s research, he did not include the price of setting up a new planter or the installation of the new row units. When retrofitting a 16-row planter, he estimates it would take 40 to 60 hours of labor at the rate set by a farmer’s local Precision Planting dealer.

There are two situations where retrofitting is a particularly good fit, says Baker. First, if you have a planter where the row units require a lot of maintenance and a farmer that’s interested in more technology. “If you need to replace a number of row unit parts, that could cost $600 to $800 a row,” he explains. “The farmer is in a conundrum where they have to do maintenance and want technology but don’t want to put technology on old row units. Or the farmer would like to get a newer planter, but it’s really expensive to trade.”

Retrofitting becomes a solution for this farmer, especially if the current planter has a toolbar that’s in good shape and is the right configuration. An alternative is to buy a used planter that is the right configuration, like Knobloch did.

This is also a viable solution for a farmer that wants a custom-built planter. “A Precision Planting Premier dealer can build a planter by buying a toolbar, putting on Ready Row Units, and putting a fertilizer system on exactly how a farmer wants it,” says Baker.

In farming, timing is everything. Massey Ferguson® Planters are part of a long tradition of accurate planting with minimal downtime, wear or required maintenance. That means you can make the most of your time and get your best yields.

The row unit on Massey Ferguson Planters can be factory-equipped with options from Precision Planting, including vSet2 meters, vDrive® and DeltaForce®.

Massey Ferguson Planters feature individual row unit hoppers or a central fill system of up to 90 bushels, with liquid fertilizer and insecticide options available as well.

This row unit, based on the proven design from White Planters, features enhanced accuracy and longevity while allowing for easy Precision Planting add-ons, such as SpeedTube™.

DeltaForce features hydraulic cylinders and load cells that measure how much weight is being carried on the row unit gauge wheels, following a weight set by the operator. This assists with even planting depth across your fields.

Massey Ferguson Planters are easily customized, whether directly from the factory or with the best components from Precision Planting by your local Precision Planting dealer.

When you first walk up to a new Momentum planter, be prepared for a “what the heck” moment, as you see that the planter brings a lot of new approaches to planting. From its out-front wheels to the segmented planter bars, this global machine is going to capture a lot of attention as farmers get their first looks.

The Momentum name for the new Fendt planter from Agco was announced during the 2019 Farm Progress Show, but during that announcement, there was little information about the new machine.

Farm Progress got a first look at the new planter in the factory where the machine will be built — in Beloit, Kan. The factory, originally a Sunflower tillage facility, still makes tillage tools. It also builds White Planters and a range of parts for the Hesston, Kan., hay tool facility, however, and it became part of Agco in 2002. Since then, Agco has invested in the plant with new tools and manufacturing technologies.

Alex Lundgren, manager, global crop care, seeding and tillage, shared some key facts about the planter’s chief design features. There are many features of the new design farmers will want to learn more about, and clicking through the slides offers that opportunity. But a key design factor is the Smart Frame Technology of the Momentum planter.

“This planter has its wheels in front, which means it creates no pinch rows,” Lundgren says. “The planter is carried on in-line tandem wheels near the center so the planter floats as if on tracks, but at a lower cost.”

Wheels on the planter are outfitted with VF tires standard to carry the load. An optional flotation system will use load cells and speed sensors to assure that the tire pressure is always right for the job at hand, whether over the road or in the field. That system also uses hydraulic cylinders on the frame for optimum weight distribution.

Schertz notes that the outside wheels for the planter can be set far outside the planter to provide controlled traffic since the outboard wheels would be riding in the same track as they would on the return pass through the field.

Those in-line tandem wheels are strategically placed to be behind the tractor tires as it pulls the planter through the field. “The most compaction happens on the first pass. We’re following the tractor with the bulk of the planter and supporting it with the in-line tandem wheels,” Schertz says.

He also points to the tandem design with a larger wheel behind. In addition, the “pivot point” of the tandem frame is rear-weighted on the bigger tire. That provides this planter more stability when moving through tough conditions. This design helps ensure that if you hit a mud hole, the machine will ride right over it.

As for that planter, “ride” is the key feature of the Momentum, with its ability to move with the contour of the land. Each row unit has 16 inches of travel. And the row units are sectioned across the length of the planter. For the 32-row machine on 15-inch centers, there are three sections linked to the forward-positioned carriage.

“Essentially, this is three planters, with each section running independently as the machine goes across the field,” Schertz says. “That provides significantly better ground following and seed placement versus conventional-wheeled planters with a fixed frame."

The Momentum is powered by Precision Planting components. In fact, at first from the back, the planter looks familiar — given that each row unit is from that Agco-owned division. Yet even here there are innovations.

“We offer the vSet units for this planter, but we also allow farmers to outfit the planter the way they want to,” says Lundgren. “A planter’s setup is a personal choice.”

The forward-wheel-rearward row unit design opens space for row units. This is a global planter, and in some countries, farmers like to put down dry fertilizer with a shank ahead of the row unit. This planter can accommodate that.

Each row unit, however, is in a parallelogram frame designed to be kept level, even as the planter bar moves up and down through the field. This provides consistent seed-to0soil contact, Lundgren says. Potentiometers along the toolbar in the parallel frame communicate to the planter’s controls; if something goes “out,” the cylinders from the Smart Frame adjust to help keep things level.

The new Fendt Momentum planter will be available for ordering in mid-2020. Initially, there will be eight models including 16-, 24-, 32-, 36- and 48-row configurations, with row spacings of 15, 20, 22 and 30 inches. All will come standard with the 1,000-gallon liquid fertilizer tank. The central fill system includes two 65-bushel hoppers using a smooth design for easy cleanout. Lundgren says with both hoppers full, you can plant about 297 acres of corn at 35,000 population.

I use to sell white planters, and I own a 12 rn one that I pull with an 8050FWA, I am not sure why anyone of anymake planter or tractor would want to run the blowers. vacume pumps, etc with the tractor when you can buy the PTO driven pump, the pto driven pump is so inexpensive, and it takes the wear and tear and heat away from any make tractor, and leaves it on the closed hydraulic system of the planter. Even white suggested the planters be sold with the pump, for that same exact reason. But some buyers wanted to save the couple of 100 bucks by driving it off the tractors system. White planter school told us the cost to repair tractor hydraulics is high compared to the reletively cheap PTO system, plus it frees up another remote.my.02
