Adjusting depth on your planter is time-consuming. SmartDepth allows you to quickly and easily make depth adjustments, from inside the cab, as conditions change. This saves you time and gives you the confidence that each row is set right where you need it to be.
When you are trying to get seeds just below the soil’s surface in crops like cotton, it is critical to have the right depth set. Being off by a ¼ or ½ inch can be the difference between getting a great stand or having to replant.
SmartDepth allows you to make precise depth changes from the cab with ease, enabling you to respond to changes in conditions immediately and effortlessly. Whether manually set or automatically set with soil moisture feedback from SmartFirmers.
While getting seeds into moisture is important, there are tradeoffs to planting too deep or too shallow. If planted too shallow, seeds potentially are not in moisture and will not germinate consistently. Plenty of moisture in the soil, even at shallower depths? As seen in the plants to the left, planting deeper than necessary will cost you emergence speed and consistency due to less heat being available at the deeper depths.
