FurrowForce from Precision Planting is a two-stage closing system designed to improve seed-to-soil contact and promote uniform emergence. The first stage uses notched wheels to fracture and close the furrow from the bottom up, effectively eliminating air pockets even in challenging no-till conditions. The second stage applies pressure through stitch wheels to firm the soil over the seed, securing moisture and creating an ideal environment for germination. This system adapts to varying field conditions and maintains consistent soil density for reliable performance.
FurrowForce is compatible with a wide range of row units and crops including corn, soybeans, cotton, peanuts, sugar beets, and sunflowers. It can be operated manually using preset airbag pressure or upgraded with sensing and automatic control via the Gen 3 20|20 system. With load-cell sensing and real-time adjustments, FurrowForce ensures precise row-by-row control. Proven in research to deliver measurable yield gains, this advanced closing system is a valuable addition to any planting setup. APH Group proudly offers FurrowForce as part of our commitment to helping growers achieve consistent emergence and maximize seed potential.
