Every grower knows that planting is a race against time. The weather window is tight, and every delay puts your yield potential at risk. But what if your planter is holding you back? Traditional seed disks struggle with small seeds, forcing you to slow down to maintain accuracy. That lost efficiency can make the difference between a well-established crop and one that struggles from the start. That’s where the RRV Seed Disk changes the game.
The Problem with Slow Planting
When planting small-seeded crops like canola, or sesame, precision is everything. Unlike larger seeds, these crops require accurate depth control, optimal seed spacing, and gentle handling to ensure strong emergence. But slow planting speeds create major challenges:
- Missed Optimal Planting Windows
- Soil conditions can shift in a matter of hours, and small seeds are particularly sensitive to moisture and temperature changes. Delayed planting increases the risk of dry conditions, poor seed-to-soil contact, and uneven emergence.
- Yield Penalties from Delayed Planting
- Every lost day can impact plant vigor. For small-seeded crops, uniform emergence is critical—late-emerging plants compete for nutrients, sunlight, and moisture, ultimately reducing yields.
- Inefficient Field Operations
- When you’re forced to slow down because of outdated seed disks, you spend more hours in the tractor, burn more fuel, and cover fewer acres. When weather conditions are ideal, you need to move fast—without sacrificing accuracy.
How the RRV Seed Disk Changes the Game
The RRV Seed Disk is designed specifically for high-speed, precision in planting of small-seeded crops. Unlike traditional disks, it delivers consistent singulation, accurate depth control, and proper seed spacing—all at higher speeds.
Key Benefits of the RRV Seed Disk:
- Maintains Accuracy at High Speeds
Many standard seed disks struggle with singulation when planting at faster speeds, leading to skips, doubles, or erratic seed placement. The RRV Seed Disk ensures precise spacing and depth—even when moving faster across the field. - More Acres Per Day
Faster planting means more acres covered in less time—helping you stay ahead of unpredictable weather and finish planting before conditions deteriorate. - Optimized Seed Spacing
Small seeds need uniform spacing to avoid overcrowding or gaps that limit yield potential. The RRV Seed Disk prevents skips and doubles, ensuring even emergence and stronger crop stands. - Designed for Small-Seeded Crops
Unlike seed disks designed primarily for larger crops like corn and soybeans, the RRV Seed Disk is built specifically for crops like canola, and sesame, where precision is key. - Reduced Wear and Longer Lifespan
The RRV Seed Disk is built for durability, reducing wear and maintaining accuracy over more acres—giving you a long-term advantage in efficiency and performance.
The Bottom Line
If slow planting is costing you time, fuel, and yield potential, it’s time to rethink your equipment. The RRV Seed Disk allows you to plant faster while maintaining the precision needed for small-seeded crops.
