THE GRAHAM VALUE PROPOSITION
- Our Electric Planter Drive (EPD) kit is available for almost any make/year of planter.
- You are not limited to a certain rate controller, planter manufacturer or seed plate type; finger or vacuum.
- Our USA built drives have been in the field for six years with over 10,000 rows of already implemented.
- Our product easily installs and interfaces with any of the major variable rate controller systems.
- Our EPD also interfaces with row/section shutoff’s on your guidance system.
- Besides eliminating the cumbersome and maintenance intensive hydraulic drive system, when you use our EPD, you will have individual row shut-offs.
- When using our GrahamCommand products to control our EPD, our control algorithm is completely closed-loop. This means extreme accuracy and instant adjustment to population rate changes. Our system has an error of 4 tenths of 1 percent (0.4%) and will react to rate changes in less than two tenths of a second.
- Most single row planters will not require any chains or sprockets, so No-Till farmers won’t waste time re-installing chains while planting.
- Our EPD system is not only more accurate than a hydraulic drive, but it is cheaper to convert a ground drive to our system compared to installing a hydraulic drive and row clutches.
- If you are a seed corn grower, you will appreciate that our EPD can not only do variable-rate, but also each row’s population can be set to be a percentage of the main population.
- For example, if you need to plant the outer two rows at 80% population, its easy with our system and you don’t have to change sprockets.
- Each row can be easily configured using GrahamCommand Lite, BASIC or PRO.
