Section Control (Swath Command™)

With Swath Command™, all row unit final drive chains
are clutch-controlled. Swath Command™ can turn seed
metering on and off for 4 sections of rows. Using
geolocation information you provide to the system,
seeding can be disabled when row units cross
non-planting or previously-planted areas.

Note: Swath Command™ requires one of the CANbus

monitor options (page 117) and a compatible
console.

Down-Pressure Control (Row-Pro™)

Row-Pro™ provides an air cylinder and sensor in the
down-pressure assembly of each row. Each cylinder is
independently controlled by the force sensor, varying the
down-pressure by

±50 pounds (±23 kg), for a total

correction capability of 100 pounds (45 kg). This range
can fully compensate for the row unit weight change
resulting from seed consumption during planting.

Note: Row-Pro™ requires one of the CANbus monitor

options (page 117) and a compatible console.
