Salvage Planters in New Zealand

Planters have been a part of farming for centuries, allowing producers of corn, soybeans, cotton, vegetables, peanuts, and a countless variety of other crops to better control the width of rows, seed placement and spacing, and seed depth, along with application of herbicides and pesticides when necessary.

Through the years, the technology behind planters—and their size—has evolved greatly. The first tractor-drawn planters allowed farmers to plant between 16 and 20 hectares in a day, according to John Deere, while today’s largest planters can plant 48 rows in one pass. In addition to planters for sale from John Deere, you’ll find new and used planters for sale from Case IH, Great Plains, Kinze, Monosem, Ozdoken, White, and other manufacturers.

As research has led to better insight into the best seed depths, row spacing, fertiliser placement, and other factors, manufacturers have increased not just the number of rows you can plant with each pass, but they’ve also improved planter options, adding features such as GPS technology and guidance, in-cab planter performance monitoring, and other electronic monitoring devices to better control the number and spacing of seeds.

New Case IH planters for sale, for example, offer rugged row units that can better withstand a variety of soil and residue conditions, along with improved hydraulics that automatically adjust the up and down pressure for more accurate seed depth. John Deere planters for sale include enhancements geared toward being able to accurately plant at faster speeds while also offering technology to find the best metre settings right from your mobile device.
