SpeedTube from Precision Planting is a high-speed seed delivery system designed to enable growers to plant at up to twice the normal speed without sacrificing accuracy. It uses dual feeder wheels and a flighted belt to move seed off the vSet meter directly into the trench, preventing bouncing or tumbling and ensuring precise placement even at high ground speeds. Field studies show that farmers can plant soybeans and corn at speeds up to 10 MPH while maintaining or even improving yield, with soybean trials indicating a +2.3 Bu/A gain compared to conventional tubes and corn trials showing a +2.1 Bu/A increase at 6–8 MPH.
Built for use with vSet meters and electric vDrive systems, SpeedTube integrates with Precision Planting’s 20|20 display for seamless control and monitoring. It is compatible with a broad range of crops, including corn, soybeans, cotton, and sugar beets. For growers looking to boost planting productivity without investing in new planters, SpeedTube offers a cost-effective upgrade that helps hit ideal planting windows, cover more acres per hour, and optimize yield potential. APH Group is pleased to offer this technology as part of our precision planting lineup, helping you get more from your existing equipment.
