If you’re noticing uneven emergence, inconsistent seed depth, or gaps in your stand, your seed firmer might be the culprit. Traditional seed firmers wear out quickly, losing the ability to maintain proper pressure and seed placement. Over time, this results in lost yield potential and higher replacement costs.
Why Traditional Seed Firmers Wear Out So Fast
Most seed firmers are made from standard materials that degrade under tough field conditions. As they wear down, they apply inconsistent pressure, leading to:
- Shallow or Uneven Seed Placement – A worn-out firmer can’t press seeds firmly into the trench, causing spotty emergence.
- Reduced Firming Pressure – Over time, the material weakens, leading to reduced contact with the seed and poor soil-to-seed contact.
