Planter meter rebuilds, Precision Planting installs and parts in Flat Rock, IndianaEvery farm is solving for a different x.
x is whatever's costing you yield. A worn meter, a bad install, a problem nobody's found yet. We isolate it, then we solve it.
What we do most
It starts on the bench.
Every meter runs the test stand before it goes back on. If it needs work, it comes apart, gets cleaned and gets new wear parts. Tagged by row, so it goes back where it came from.
Winter bench slots fill first. Off-season rates are the best rates of the year.
Meter service
Purdue's field trials lost about that for every 1-inch rise in the variation of plant spacing. On 1,000 acres of $4 corn, one inch is $10,000 a year. Today's meters are better than the ones Purdue tested. Worn ones aren't.
