Electronic population control improves seeding accuracy
John Deere grain drills can now be equipped with the Electronic Population Rate Control (EPRC) system, which is designed to provide more accurate seeding and improved operator convenience. This system eliminates the need to stop and dismount the tractor to make adjustments to the seeding rate. Customers may also use EPRC in conjunction with a population monitor to more closely monitor and adjust seeding rates without stopping. The dovetail design of the control handle allows up to three controllers to be installed on multiple section drills for accurate calibration of each section. Mechanical and electronic overload protection protects both the grain drill and the rate controller from potential damage. The EPRC system can also be retrofitted to existing John Deere grain drills.
