
Seed Firmer
The Keeton
®
Seed Firmer slides down the seed
trench and firms the seeds at the bottom of the
furrow. The firmer also supports low
- rate fertilizer
delivery. For this use, a liquid fertilizer system must
also be installed.
Order one kit per opener.

PTO Pump
A PTO pump kit may be needed where:
 the tractor has an Open Center hydraulic system;
 the tractor has no remote port for the fan; or,
 the tractor is Closed Center, but the remotes offer
insufficient oil flow to reliably operate the fan.
540 rpm is required.

Dickey-john PM300
Dickey-John PM300 Seed Monitoring System will
report the following elements:

ground speed,

up to two hopper levels, and

seed rate at each row unit seed tube.
Medium and large seeds are individually
counted with high accuracy. Small seeds,
such as Milo, may be more difficult to
sense, and instead, the seed monitoring
system will indicate seed blockage.
T
he standard magnetic pickup at the ground drive
allows the seed monitoring system to calculate and
report seed population after the seed monitoring
system has been configured for the preferred
material rates. The kit does not include, but will
require, fasteners for the in-cab mounting brackets.
