Air Adjust saves time, improves planting effectiveness
Categories: Residue Managers
"The Air Adjust™ units probably saved me a good three hours between my two 16-row Case IH planters in that initial field," said Drew Barnes, who used 2940 Air Adjust Residue Managers from Yetter for the first time this spring. "You could spend an hour and a half on manual adjustments, get into the field, find out you were not right, and have to get out and start again.
"I have different residue conditions in the same field—some soybean, some corn—and it’s a whole different world. Those presets really made the Air Adjust units shine. All I had to do was remember to push a button and my up and down pressure adjusted to handle the residue I was transitioning into. There is no way I would have been able to adjust manually every pass with the time pressure we face at planting. Having the Air Adjust units has made my planting more effective—they really saved my bacon, so to speak."
Drew has also found that having the Air Adjust Compressor Tank mounted on his planter makes it possible to carry other air-powered tools with him. "I can fill up my planter tires in the field, and I carry a blower that cleans my seed meters and tubes. It’s a lot more convenient than heading back to the truck."
