Row clutches

Mar 16, 2009 2:09 PM

Ag Leader introduces a new electric row clutch for row-crop planters. The new SureStop clutches are part of Ag Leader¹s SeedCommand system that controls planting through GPS and field maps to eliminate overlap. The SeedCommand communicates to the clutches when to start and stop the flow of seed. SureStop clutches are designed for chain-drive seed meters and are installed on the inside of the row unit between the seed meter and drill shaft sprocket.

Price per row unit: $380. Contact Ag Leader Technology, Dept. FIN, 2202 S.
