How FurrowForce is Different
FurrowForce works fundamentally differently than other closing systems. In the first stage,
notched wheels work to close the seed furrow from the bottom up, eliminating air pockets. In
the second stage, stitch wheels carry weight on them to firm the soil over the seed to
retain moisture.
FurrowForce on its own is a powerful product, but you also have the option to add load cells to measure and set weight on the closing system from the 20|20 monitor. When a load cell measures more or less weight than has been set on the 20|20, the FurrowForce system will automatically adjust row-by-row the force applied to the unit. When the second stage stitch wheels are carrying the correct weight, you know the first stage notched wheels are cutting into the soil at your chosen depth.
The 20|20 gives the operator a complete picture of planting performance, including metrics for closing like closing margin, good closing percent, and closing uniformity.

Manage Soil Density
Many growers think about proper closing as having the seed covered. But putting soil
over the seed is only part of the equation. Managing soil density to maintain
moisture is a key component of creating the best environment for the seed. In
conventional tillage and easy-to-close environments, growers look behind the planter
and when they don't see an open trench, they are satisfied. But in this environment,
tillage was done ahead of the planter which introduces air into the soil and dries
it. If the soil density over the seed is loose, the soil continues to dry out and
moisture that is needed for quick germination is quickly lost.
FurrowForce solves this problem by maintaining a set amount of weight on the stitch
wheels to firm the soil over the seed, remove air pockets, and retain moisture for a
longer period of time to give each seed the chance to germinate consistently.
