The Flo-Rite® Seed Firmer was invented by farmer, Jeff Peter from Hicksville, Ohio, while on a mission to find seed firmer technology that was both cost effective and could delivery consistent yields. Designed with high-tech memory polymer, the Flo-Rite® Seed Firmer provides reliable down pressure to assure consistent seed placement and proper seeding depth. The optimal down pressure maximizes the proper seed to soil contact needed to improve successful germination.
Flo-Rite’s patented enclosed stainless steel liquid tube eliminates the issues of traditional seed firmers where the liquid tubes are bracketed on the outside and exposed to crop debris and soil saving you on costly repairs. The exclusive wear plate will also save you money with being able to replace only the wear plate a not the whole seed firmer unit.
Flo-Rite® seed firmers are compatible with the majority of planters including all Kinze prior to 2000, 3000 and 4900 units; White; New Idea; and Deere 7000, 7200 series planters with precision brackets xp units. See our compatibility chart to find the right model for you.
Benefits
Lower Replacement Costs
Although Flo-Rite® seed firmers initially cost about the same as other leading seed firmer brands, maintenance costs of Flo-Rite® seed firmers are dramatically less. Flo-Rite’s exclusive replaceable wear plate saves farmers money over time. With traditional seed firmers, when the firmer contact point wears out, you have to replace the entire seed firmer unit. But with Flo-Rite® seed firmers, you simply replace the wear plate and the firmer works just like new.
Optimum Seed Placement
Flo-Rite® seed firmers use the latest in memory polymers to provide reliable down pressure to assure the best seed placement and proper seeding depth. Flo-Rite’s optimal down pressure maximizes the proper seed to soil contact needed to improve germination success.
Protected Liquid Tube
Another problem with traditional seed firmers is that the liquid tubes are bracketed on the outside of the seed firmer body. This leaves the liquid tube exposed to crop debris and soil that can rip the tube from the firmer body. But with Flo-Rite’s patent pending enclosed stainless steel liquid tube, this problem is eliminated so you can keep on planting!

What customers are saying:
-
I was impressed with the Flo-Rite® seed firmer. I did a lot of digging and the seeds were right where they were supposed to be in the trench. The down pressure of the Flo-Rite® is the best I've seen. They definitely helped contribute to even corn emergence.
Hicksville, OH -
The best thing I can say is they work! The different color wear plate allows you to see and measure the wear better. As a result, I know I will change the wear plate more often allowing the equipment to do the best job possible. They work so well, I'm going to put them on both my new planters this year. I don't want to plant without them.

We ran the seed firmers over all our corn acres. They are extremely durable and I like that you can see how much wear you are getting on the replaceable wear plate. The flex and down pressure is better than what the Keeton seed firmers offer.
Edgerton, OH -
I had no problems at all. I was very impressed. When the planter is down, you have more pressure with the Flo-Rite® seed firmer. Over a period of time, the Flo-Rite® firmer is going to hold its position better. The Keeton's tend to weaken relatively quickly. I will definitely recommend Flo-Rite® seed firmers to other farmers.
